When I saw this beautiful Swallotail Butterfly stamp in the new Stampin' Up 2013 Spring Catalog, I was enthralled. At first I didn't order it thinking I just didn't need another stamp, but then I saw some great ideas using it, so......I now have it!! {BIG GRIN}
Patty Bennett did this card on her blog and I just had to case it - it's SO beautiful! With just a few swipes of a sponge dauber this beautiful butterfly takes on a whole new look!

Did you know you can flatten the Soda Pop Tops? This is SO easy and makes it so much easier to mail your cards. Here is the "sandwich" to flatten your pop tops (from bottom to top)
Multi-purpose Platform set on Tab 1
Acrylic Plate
Chip Board or cardboard (I used the back of the Glimmer Paper)
Soda Pop Top with scallops DOWN
Acrylic Plate
Run through the Big Shot - flattens 'em right out!! Add a stamped image in the center and you have a wonderful embellishment for your creation. Want to make it really shine? Add some Crystal Effects over the top of your embellishment!! WOW - - I have some cards to share using the Soda Pop Tops without flattening them - definitely a "hand-given" card - will share one tomorrow!!
