With many June birthday's approaching, I decided to make some simple butterfly birthday cards. You'll notice on these cards that there is very little stamping. Only the sentiment in the lower right corner is actually stamped, making these cards so easy; Kwik & Kool!
I used two different designer series paper collections for the butterflies, Sweet & Sour Specialty and Blueberry Crisp. Both papers are on the Last Chance List, so if you love these DSP collections (or any of your other favorites), BUY THEM NOW before it's too late.

The butterflies were cut out with my Big Shot, using the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die. Check out the other projects I created using this die.
