Instructions:

1. For the card front: Place the card with the fold at the top. Cut 6¼"x4¾" Beautiful Butterflies dark floral paper, center it on the card front, and use removable tape to secure it. Place the outer label die in the paper center and secure with removable tape. Die cut the window through the paper and card front.
2. Remove the die and paper from the card front. Cut 5"x3" acetate and use double-sided tape along the edges to attach it to the front, covering the opening. Glue the die cut floral paper to the front, matching the openings.
3. Position all three dies on light gray cardstock, nesting them together, and die cut a lattice label. Use acrylic glue to glue it to the acetate inside the window opening. Cut out the Beautiful Butterflies “just for you” label and mat it on pink cardstock with ⅛" borders. Foam tape it to the front as shown.
4. Stamp the two butterflies shown on pink cardstock with VersaMark™ ink. Cover them with embossing powder, tap off the excess, and heat the remainder to melt it. Brush Plum Jam ink around the outer edges of the butterflies, then die cut both from the cardstock.
5. Use the bone folder to gently curl the butterflies’ wings (as you would curl curling ribbon). Glue the bodies and foam tape the wings in place, positioning the butterflies as shown. Punch out a Beautiful Butterflies pink rose and foam tape it overlapping the greeting on the left. Place three Diamond Sparkles on each end of the lattice label as shown.
6. For the inside: Cut out the Beautiful Butterflies sentiment shown. Mat it on light gray cardstock with 1/16" borders, then on pink cardstock with ⅛" borders. Position the sentiment on the inside so it shows through the window when the card is closed and glue it in place.
7. Punch out a 1½" Beautiful Butterflies pink butterfly, slightly curl the wings, and glue it to the sentiment as shown. Place a Diamond Sparkle on each end of the sentiment frame.
