Hello and welcome back to our week with QuicKutz! Today we have even more die cut project ideas to share and more giveaway opportunities as well…so let’s get started!

First, Tami Hartley created a butterfly shaped card using one of the templates we provided yesterday and then die cut a favorite QuicKutz design — the flourish — to add interest to the wings.  A few pop dots elevate the aqua layer, giving the card an extra dose of “flutter”, while the small butterfly image from the Together set provides the perfect addition.

Supplies:

• Four Leaf Grid
• Designer Woodgrain
• Sky’s The Limit
• Together Special Edition
• Kraft Notecards
• Soft Stone Shadow Ink
• Neutral Card Buttons
• QuicKutz Flourish Die, Stripes Label Embossing Folder
• Other: Vintage Photo Distress Ink, Martha Stewart Crafts ribbon, colored pencils, pop dots, stitching

Next up is Erin Lincoln with another fabulous butterfly creation for you that features two QuicKutz Silhouette digital designs - a butterfly and a label. We love how she cleverly folded the label shape to give the card an extra special interactive touch — very cool!

Here is the card opened up…

Supplies:

• Hello Circles
  
• Double Flourish
  
• Houndstooth Background
  
• Four Left Grid

• Buds and Stems
  
• Share Laughter
• Sparkle Clear Happy Day Floral

A Tip from Erin: Cut a slightly smaller white version of the label to do all the stamp work, and then just mount it to the turquoise base.

Did you know that QuicKutz has embossing folders too? (Great designs HERE!) You just put a piece of paper in the folder and run it through your die cutting machine and you end up with a wonderful textured background, such as the one on this card by Kelly Rasmussen. She used the new QuicKutz Polka Dots folder on her sweet butterfly hello card…love it!
