Butterfly Hello Card
For the card front: Place the card with the fold on top and trim to a 5" square. Cover the front with dark gray cardstock. Cut a 4¾" square North Country orange paper and glue centered on the front. Die cut the lattice from gold paper and use craft glue to attach it to the center front.
Cut 4¾"x1½" North Country blue paper and mat the long edges on gold paper with 1/16" borders. Wrap ribbon across it, ¼" from the bottom and glue the ends to the back. Glue across the center front.
Die cut a 2½" circle from North Country gray/green fern paper and stamp the butterfly with swirls on it in VersaMark™ ink. Cover with embossing powder, tap off the excess, and heat to melt. Mat the circle on cardstock with a 1/16" border, then foam tape to the center front.
Make a 4-loop bow with the ribbon and tie the center with thread. Glue to the first ribbon, just left of the circle. Thread a ½" button and tie a bow on the front, then glue to the bow center.
For the inside: Cut a 4¾" square of North Country gray/green paper and glue centered on the inside. Cut a 4" square of North Country blue paper and stamp and emboss the swirly butterfly on the lower right and a small butterfly on the upper left. Mat on cardstock with 1/16" borders, then glue centered on the inside.
Die cut “hello” from gold paper and again from cardstock, then glue to the blue paper, offsetting the gold in front of the gray as shown. Thread a 3/8" button and tie a bow on the front, then glue as shown.
