Vellum Butterfly

A total of six punched out butterflies were used to make this card. The three clear vellum shapes were layered over the butterflies punched out of the blue and polka dot paper.

Butterflies on Fence

I love the use of striped paper for the fence on this card. It's not the paper used here but the striped paper in the cosmopolitan paper packs would look great on a card like this. Simply cut one edge of a small rectangle with a pinking scissors and you have a picket fence! The butterflies are made with the butterfly square punch.

Pinwheel Card

The pink and yellow combination used here just looks like spring. To make the pinwheel, start with a 2 inch square piece of vellum. Mark the center of the square and then cut in from each of the four corners to within about 1/4" of the center dot. Fold in one point at each corner to the center until you have a pinwheel. Use a mini brad to attach to the card.

Graduation Money Card

Want to give your graduate a gift of money? Simply take an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of card stock and fold in thirds. Then punch out a rectangle shape on one end. Tape a vellum envelope under the cut out and insert with graduation confetti you've punched out. The eyelet and black ribbon adds a decorative touch.
