The Card Concept

Monthly




You can go Horizontal, Vertical or Diagonal 
so this gives you quite a choice.
I have popped in two card shapes which we have made before so you will find the tutorials for them under the card shapes tab. (Please note though you will find the Stepper card  under Faux Stepper!!)

You therefore have a choice of 5 lines to pick if you are using a shaped card with your butterfly
Namely
Gatefold/Die cuts/Stripes
Design paper/Flowers/ Stepper Card
Gatefold/ Design Paper/ Stamps
Stripes/Stepper card/Embossing folder
Gatefold/Flowers/Embossing Folder

There are a further 3 lines if you just want to use your butterfly
Namely
Die cuts/Flowers/Spots
Stamps/Spots/ Embossing folder
Stamps/Flowers/ Stripes.
