Handmade Card Tutorial – Butterfly Shaped Card

April 4, 2019 by Heather Holbrook

Butterfly Shaped Card

Large shaped dies are perfect for making fun shaped cards. Ilina used a large butterfly die from Hero Arts to cut out her card base, adding some lovely stamped flowers in white embossing which really pop on the dark cardstock.
