Ever make a card and think: “Nailed it!”?

That is how I feel about the card I’m sharing today. The stars—or butterflies!—aligned, and a clean and simple bit of happiness ensued! Plus, I created a bonus card with the outline leftovers!

Here is my video showing you how I created this card:

    Really pretty Cathy! Love both cards. I like the simplicity of the water coloring with distress and your color choices! ❤️ That die.

  10. Sharon Gullikson says

    Oh, I LOVE the thin lines for the butterflies. They are so delicate. And I like how you colored all of your butterflies. So pretty

    Hi, CZ –
    I’m so impressed at this release! I just love it. I did not get the label maker sentiments (or the die) but now that I have seen it in action in a few of these hop cards, I am rethinking that decision. I like that I would not have to emboss a sentiment and I like the very retro look of it. I did not have the funds… because I got “the bundle” (something I almost never do!!). I adore your card and appreciate the CAS look of many of your cards!

    Yes, I get nervous (too) for a big stamp – esp one like the one you used w/ lots of solid area.

    I think you got a threefer, not a twofer… The outline on your watercolor paper could create a third card, esp if you had gone to the edge with your painting.

    I could tell how delighted you were with card #1. It came through loud and clear. Glad your “booper” is working again, so to speak. Sorry if that is too personal a comment. 😂

    Great look with the butterflies and the outline! So beautiful with all the colors!

  30. Lara Read says

    I agree Cathy you nailed it! Love this card and thanks so much for your videos! So helpful!

  32. Cyndi Morris says

    I agree — you nailed it! (You asked if I had ever created a card and felt like I nailed. Yes, but very rarely. And I keep those cards and try to recreate them, which never works as well!) I really love that die.

  33. Elizabeth Petersen says

    I watched the video of you creating this gorgeous card and your happiness with how it turned out is contagious! It’s lovely.

  34. Julie A Wexler says

    Clean and simple and so lovely, Cathy! I can see why your raised butterflies card is your fave of the week– deservedly so. I think this release with all of the butterflies & variety of sentiments, may end up being being my fave of the month…

  35. Lori says

    Very interesting using the leftover outlines of the butterflies making a separate card.
    Thanks for sharing.

  42. Lisa S. says

    Love these dies so much! I really love your coloring technique! Just so beautiful!

  43. Sandra Bonagura says

    very pretty – the white border around they pretty colors – just lovely!

  46. Carol Wortman says

    Ha, love the boop! The outlined butterflies die panel is just so beautiful! Enjoyed this so much! Gotta love a 2fer!

  47. Giselle D. says

    I love that feeling you get when all the stars align and my card turns out better than I imagined! I love both of your cards! Just a question, wouldn’t the Press n Seal hold all the pieces negating the need for the tape? I haven’t really used it much so I could be wrong. I know that when I tried to get the pieces off it was somewhat of a battle for me!

  48. JenniferPetty says

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful card with us. It looks so much fun making it. It helped me think of how you could use any color and can’t wait until I can get it and try some fun things, thank you for everything.

  51. Michele W says

    Love your clean and simple butterfly cards, especially the first one. I also think it’s great when you get a twofer. Thanks for sharing and for the helpful video!

    I love this card Cathy. It was fun to watch you make it and I get that way too when I make something I love. It was awesome to see that we think alike! ❤️

  69. Lyn Huecker says

    Cathy, your cards are always an inspiration and these two don’t disappoint. Pure & simple but impactful. The label maker sentiments is on my list to purchase for sure. Thanks for sharing your tips & talent.

    I really enjoyed watching this video from your craft slash dining room. I agree that this card is perfect and love that you used the off cut for the second card. I’m curious to know who the recipient will be for such a special card…

  75. Mary-Anne V says

    Wow stunning. This die is my favourite product out of the whole release.

  77. Katy Glenn says

    This was a great card idea. So clean and simple! Thank you for your inspiration. Stay safe!

  79. margaretk says

    Love this card so much! I had to buy the die. I tried your post it tape trick and it worked. Then I tried stamping the die itself and cutting it out for the base. It seemed to work better. At least the base was sturdier. Not sure that it was much faster though.

  80. Susan McKee says

    I like the delicate look of the butterflies from the outline. Very nice 👍🏻
