Beautiful butterflies slip out card



My friend Sheryl had sent me a dragonfly card with this slip out and when I saw this butterfly I knew I had to try it with it.  So this was one of the january class card we made during Stampin' with Lynda.

Take White cardstock 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and score at 4  1/4 to make a top folding landscape A2 card.


take a piece of white cardstock 4x 5 1/4 and stamp the hello on the r side with black memento 
diecut the slit - here I used the sentiment strip from Delightful wished but you can you the one that comes with the Butterfly set ( a little wider) or use the paper cutter to make a slit. 
I kinds of figured out where I wanted the butterfly and embossed the image to line up with the slit.



mount the embossed white cardstock to the basecard - - the slit should li\ne up.
stamp and diecut the large butterfly and color in as desired. 
add tear tape to the center of the butterfly and with the card closed use the slit to line up the butterfly and adhere to the base card through the slit so that when you open the card the butterfly wings will pop up and slide through the opening 
 






 Enjoy!
