Swallowtail Stamp from Stampin’ Up! has a New Framelit Friend!

What do you recon? I combined the Swallowtail Stamp (a returning favourite HUGE stamp from the Annual catalogue – and the reason I joined Stampin up!) with the new Butterfly Framelits die and I got this

I stamped the Swallowtail in Crumb Cake twice on to a piece of naturals white cardstock. The first one became the card base, mounted on a mat and layer of Hello Honey Cardstock. The second I cut with the largest framelit die in the new butterfly framelits set from Stampin Up! and layered this on top with a stampin’ dimensional. The patterns on the card base are from the new stamp set Butterfly Basics in crumb cake and hello honey. A little antique lace trim, and a piece of hello honey ribbon were secured using the cute little Stampin Up! Stapler and the sentiment is stamped in Black Stazon.

Its a really effective but quite simple to make card, and so much fun. I used waxed paper to cut out the die cut as its fairly intricate and it slipped out of the die a treat… which was good as you should come back tomorrow and see why I chose to cut out over 100 of the little blighters. One of my lovely SU demo buddies really doesnt like the “freaky butterfly” so I almost decided to have a butterfly week and name it in her honour, but I think I will spare her blushes for now….
