Always and Forever Butterfly Frame Card

Hello, Connie Nichol here today with some simple cards I created with the Quietfire Design Always and Forever dies from Elizabeth Crafts Designs and a butterfly frame cut using a Quietfire Design digital cut file.

These are the dies I used - Always, Forever, and an ampersand from the Calligraphic Elements 2 set to tie them together.  Those calligraphic elements are so handy!

 


 The butterfly frame card digital cutting file is available in the Silhouette Store here.

I used paper from the Core'dinations Metallic Collection line.  This paper cuts and embosses beautifully and the metal look is very elegant.

I dry embossed the background and then sanded off the raised bits to show the kraft core and provide a little more depth to the card.   Here's a side view:

While I had everything out, I made two more cards just to have on hand.  I just used different Way with Words dies, and changed up the embossing folder and paper colour.  Once you cut that butterfly frame, it's easy to customize.

Obviously, this card used the Quietfire Design Congrats die.

And this one turned into a birthday card courtesy of the Happy Birthday die.  Any of the Way with Words dies will work beautifully and of course, you can resize your butterfly frame card as you like to fit different words or stamps.  Thanks for looking and have a crafty day!
