My Moms birthday is March 6th. She is a BUTTERFLY LOVER. So, naturally, I try give her cards with butterflies on them.
I always cave in and make the last minute magazine purchase while standing at the grocery store check out. I try to keep my back turned to the candy (Ethan does his share of trying to grab every candy bar displayed).
I have no weddings coming up, but I had to purchase Martha Stewarts 2009 Winter Wedding Magazine because of the cover. This is where I found my inspiration for my Moms card.
Every butterfly was stamped, cut out, heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder, and attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots so I could pinch up the wings. It had to be a rather large card base (6″ square) so I could get all of the butterflies to fit.
Hopefully she doesn’t stop by and take a sneak peek at her card! I do thank you for stopping by though:) Have a wonderful day!

Hello! I, too, subscribe to and read your blog, but am very bad about leaving comments. Like a previous poster, I HAD to comment on this card! It’s amazing! I love butterflies as well and am just stunned by the gorgeousness of this card. Your mom is truly blessed. I’m sure she will love this card.
Thank you so much for always inspiring, even if some people like me, don’t comment like we should.
From another who very seldom takes the time to post — Beautiful card! But my wrist is feeling cramped just thinking about all the cutting. My mom is no longer with us, but my aunt would reallly love it!
Absolutely gorgeous! I’ve see the magazine, have it in fact right here on the dining room table…my oldest is getting married in May so I’ve seen ALL the magazines!! I fell in love with the cover and now with the card you made. Thanks so much for doing what I don’t even realize I am longing to do!! I may take a shot at it myself, my own variation of course!
Enjoy the day~
Absolutely gorgeous!
This is just lovely! The rainbow look really is popping up everywhere. Beautiful card!
This is gorgeous. I love how you incorporated the different patterns and shades of the same colour.
That is one gorgeous card you made! The colors look amazing against the white base. Your mother is going to be so thrilled, especially since she loves butterflies so much!
I have to say when I saw your card, it looked very familiar. Good thing you shared where you had found your inspiration or it would have bugged me the whole day!
I think this could look incredible on a scrapbook page, also…
TFS!
