Floating and Fluttering Thank You Card - International Blog Highlights / Stamping With Melva

Floating and Fluttering Thank You Card - International Blog Highlights

Monday, 5 April 2021

I'm excited to participate again in Kylie's Monthly International Blog Highlights for April! As always the theme is - Thank you. I used the Floating and Fluttering Bundle to create a floating frame card. I used the technique shown by Jennifer McGuire to create this floating frame.

Isn't this card pretty! It's spring here on the West Coast and this card with the pretty butterflies reminds me of spring!

You are able to VOTE for my card!! The top ten winners will get to be part of an international blog hop at the end of February, so I would really appreciate you taking the time to Vote for me!! I was honoured to be in the top ten last month. You can check out my card from last month and also my card from the Winners Hop.

Use the label die to cut out the middle (save the piece for a second card).
Peel the Press n' Seal off the butterflies and pull the Basic White piece away.
