Layered Butterflies Thank You Cards

The graphic at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie inspired my card colors and shape (the pink thank you cookie resembles a butterfly to me.)  The Layered Butterfly Thin Cut Die is from Close to My Heart along with the pink and rose foil paper from the recently retired You Are Enough paper pack.  The Thanks sentiment is from Honey Bee Bitty Buzzwords.  The bottom card stock color is Sangria.

Here is the If You Give a Crafter a Cookie graphic that inspired my card:

I really liked my card design so I made another one in bluish green using a Pixie Sparkled panel with Glacier card stock on the bottom:

Blue Foil Layered Butterfly with Paper Craft Crew Sketch #434

Several weeks ago I was cutting a lot of Layered Butterflies and this one was waiting for a great sketch to feature it.  The blue foil paper is from Jot--a brand found in the Dollar Tree.

The background paper is from Recollections.  The 3 accents were cut with a 1/4" hole punch from Sapphire Glitter paper.  The greeting is from Get Well Soon--retired Close to my Heart.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch #427 with Vintage Seafoam Victorian Paper

Welcome back to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a split background with lots of circles.  I pulled out a very old Close to my Heart patterned paper called Seafoam Victorian Paper, some stitched circle dies, a butterfly die from You Are Enough and a new die from Honey Bee to make this card.

I used the following Close to my Heart Products: Layered Butterfly Thin Cut Dies, (retiring June 30), Scalloped Circle Thin Cut Die, Seafoam Victorian Paper (long ago retired), and Black Card Stock.  The sentiment was cut with a Honey Bee Bitty Buzzwords die.

Here is our fabulous sketch.  We can't wait to see what you can create following our sketch.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, July 4 and you can link up your creation here.  We look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving some bloggy love.
