Butterflies are Free

Here is a card done from the August Card & Craft Classes

This explosion card is EASY but has the WOW factor

Here are the printed directions:

Tonight’s focus is on C1299 Butterfly Kiss.
Our card is a fun fold one.
BT 4 x 12
CS 1 ½ x 2 (to stamp Butterfly on)
Colored CS 1 ¾ x ¾, 1 ½ x ¾
Neutral CS 1 ½ x ½, 1 ¼ x ½
Optional Backing Boards: 4 ½ x 2 ¼ (2)
Optional “Ribbon” ¼ x 4 ½ cut in half.

Assembly instructions:
Mark at 6” on BACK side top and bottom.
Fold left side down to center line creating ½ an arrow. Repeat on the other side. Now you have a point (be sure these creases are well folded).
Open.
Turn paper upside down and repeat the procedure. Now you have an X on each side of center which forms a square on end.
Fold the two ends in to the center of he X on the FRONT side. Score WELL. (Both Sides)
Leave ends folded in…and fold back to the very center of the points in the square. This leaves you and X on each side with a line running through the middle of the X.






Your Folds are finished. Stamp your Butterfly and attach with 3D Foam Squares under each wing so it curves down in the center. Stamp Think on the 1 ½ neutral and Of You on the 1 ½ neutral. Mount on Colored CS and your stand UP card is completed. The message goes on the BACK.
