Butterfly Note

Hello, everyone! It's so good to be back. I've been a little out of commission the last three weeks after the scare we had with my mom in the hospital (twice) and Gigi's i-Step testing, but everyone has survived, is on the mend, and is, I hope, trouble-free for the next few months!

I actually made this card back in January (for goodness sake) and then all heck broke loose around here. However, one of hte nice things about cards is that they keep – lol! This particular card is one of my personal favorites because it's simple yet not boring. (I can do simple but I'm constantly struggling withboring.) You can make several of these in one sitting to have on hand and then switch out the sentiment to suit the occasion. (You can probably churn out a dozen of these in less than an hour.)

1. Make your card base.

3. Stamp Just a Note on Thistle, punch and adhere.

Although I didn't do it here, the front of the card could be dry embossed for a little extra doo-dah.
