Butterfly Collage Pop Up

I took out what could be considered my two most favorite dies; Karen Burniston's Photo Collage Pop Up, and Spellbinders Delicate Butterflies to create two more landmark birthday cards for friends who celebrated the big 7 - 0 this year. I cut the butterflies from pearlescent cardstock backed with white glitter paper and the bodies from gold foil cardstock. Happy Birthday sentiment was hot foiled and die cut using "Perfect Sentiments" set from Pink Fresh Studio. I added an additional gold foil shadow layer behind the sentiment and a wavy background border layer, both created in Make the Cut and cut on my Silhouette. Opalescent sequins were then randomly adhered for an added fun shimmer.

Inside the card I used the Photo Collage Pop Up die to animate eight die cut butterflies and the number "70".  Four additional butterflies were also glued on to the base card. Cutting file for "70" and shadow were created using Beach font.

Although I've used the Photo Collage Pop Up countless number of times to make cards, just realizing now that I have yet to post a video to show this pop up in action.

I included a gift card holder decorated with the same elements from the front of the card. Spellbinders "Hexi-Gem Sentiments" glimmer plate and die were used to create the fishtail sentiment.
