Gypsy Swallow-tail Trio
by Anne Thompson

Today's card features the Gypsy Swallow-tail 94891 three times as well as card stock from the Sunrise pack SP1013 and both the Nutmeg Plaid PP1033 and Nutmeg Forest PP1034.

materials used

  • white A2 side-fold note card
  • GYPSY SWALLOW-TAIL 94891
  • patterned paper from NUTMEG FOREST PP1034
  • plaid paper for the birds from NUTMEG PLAID PP1033
  • card stock papers from SUNRISE SP1013 PAPER PACK
  • amber Fairy Jewels for the birds' eyes


to make this card

  • cut a patterned paper from Nutmeg Forest 4 X 5 1/4 and add it to the front of the A2 note card
  • cut a piece of coordinating card stock from the Sunrise card stock paper pack 3 X 4 1/4 and add it to the front of the note card
  • from the Gypsy Swallow-tail dies, cut the large body with the detailed wing from a solid color card stock from the Sunrise pack  (3X)
  • choose a coordinating plaid from Nutmeg Plaid to cut the other pieces of the Gypsy Swallow-tail (3X)
  • use a glue pen to assemble the birds (there is a die cut piece for the under-head/beak but I chose to use pieces I punched out from the wings that match the body color); add Fairy Jewels for the eyes
  • use dimensional foam to add the birds to the solid color panel–start with the top one and overlap the others below it 
  • by setting the solid panel off to the left, there is room to add an appropriate foil circle tab to the front–either Happy Birthday or Thank You or add a sentiment inside the card


What other dies do you have that could become a trio on the front of a note card?  

Happy Crafting!
