Stampin’ Up Butterfly Embosslet Die and St. Patrick’s Day Card
March 6th, 2010Hello Stampers! Today’s card uses the Butterfly Embosslet Die and before I jump into the project, I wanted to give you some important Big Shot Die Information!
Now for the card. How darling is THIS and who WOULDN’T you send this to? I’m LUCKY to have you as a friend, mother, father, husband, child, teacher, spin instructor, dance teacher, underwater basket weaving teacher, and the list goes on….this was a workshop project for my hostesses and guests last weekend. The Lucky is from one of those stamp sets that I will NEVER get rid of:
-
114950 Define Your Life $47.95 (this and a SNAIL refill and you get a free Sale-a-bration set!)
-
and the coordinating alphabet, 114952 Defining Alphabet $43.95
(these 2 sets, a few accessories, and you would get 3 SAB sets AND hostess benefits if your order was $150!!)
Supplies:
Cardstock: 101697 Glorious Green, 101768 Green Galore, 102795 Gable Green.
Ink: 103040 Glorious Green, 102122 Green Galore
113439 Big Shot Machine, 118138 Stampin’ Up Beautiful Wings Embosslet Die, 117335 Stampin’ Up Textured Impressions Folder $7.95.
I thought the butterflies were appropriate because: From wiki.answers.com “There are many symbolic meanings associated with the butterfly. The Mandarin Chinese word for butterfly is “hu-tieh”. “Tieh” means “70 years”, therefore butterflies have become a symbol for a long life. In this culture butterflies have also become representative of young men in love. In the Japanese culture butterflies are thought to be representative of young maidens and marital bliss. Many Japanese families use the butterfly in the family crest design. “
Especially if you send this to your husband, fiancee, boyfriend….lucky and the symbol for marital bliss say it all! Check out all the fun definitions in the Define Your Life Stamp Set:
Don’t forget to visit the Gallery and upload your creations there as well! When the Gallery reaches 2500 samples, I will be drawing a winner to receive a FREE stamp set! See the details.

Catherine…. thank you for sharing about the embosslits. I cracked the Scalloped Heart of Hearts embosslit and SU! had to send me another one. I just thought it was “defective”! Now I will be more careful when sending them through the Big Shot!
