How lucky are we all to have you , thank you for all this work . I’m sure everyone else watching this video has learnt heaps of new ideas .

[@nbcascards]

So nice of you! Thanks. x

[@hippomom26]

I'm only halfway through and saving the rest for tomorrow. Such WONDERFUL IDEAS, NB❤ You are very creative and artistic, while making c&s cards with many things that you already have! I really am inspired for 2025 🎆 TY 💐

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@jade0626]

Holy moly, that is a lot of cards. I added this one to watch later because I would NEVER remember all of them. These cards are all very beautiful but I do love the sending love. I don't usually have a favorite but that one stood out for me. Thank you Natalie, I'll be revisiting this one over and over and over 😂 🦋🦋🦋

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Judy! Glad you found it helpful. X

[@XenobiaF]

I’d love a book with these ideas. Wouldn’t you?

[@molossergirl2]

Wow, you have been busy! I love them all but card no. 4 was definitely my favourite, so pretty and as you said, 'a bit grungy!' Did you know, Natalie, a group of butterflies can be called a Flutter of Butterflies...how lovely. xx

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much! That is lovely! 🦋 🦋 🦋

[@kiwipommiegirl]

Such a lovely collection of cards Natalie,and so many different idea with just one set of dies ! Now I need nested butterflies! Can't wait to try some of these. You're so blessed with all your charity shop findings (here in NZ we call them op-shops:) Thanks so much,have a great day! Ann.xx

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much!

[@mokrn]

You're almost out of pale gold splatter! (Oh, no!) As for which card I like best.... Oh, boy. You're going to make me work to try to decide! I went through the review of all the cards several times and if I *MUST* choose only one favorite, I think it would have to be 3A, the embossed and sanded multi-colored butterfly. However, there isn't a single one that I would not be proud to send to someone special. One tip that I have had to learn the hard way is that when cutting foam, I have to be certain to only run it through my die-cutter only one. Apparently, the foam stretches slightly from the pressure and a second run-through cuts in a slightly different spot, leaving a ragged, messy edge. Heaven knows I only learned that after ruining more that one project! Thank you for such an amazing group of cards demonstrating fabulous creativity! How long did it take you to put together this massive undertaking? I'm sure I speak for many to say how much we appreciate you, Natalie! ❤

[@nbcascards]

That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing. I think I recorded this over three days, so it took a while, but I enjoyed every minute! Thanks for the encouragement. x

[@Spaceydoodle]

A group of butterflies is called a kaleidoscope or swarm or rabble 😊

[@nbcascards]

Cool!

[@erinwood4968]

I looked it up too, and besides kaleidoscope, the other terms were: Flutter, flight, swarm, rabble, wing, flock, shimmer, and rainbow. 😊

[@roseannem.tockstein8140]

Wow! Talk about being an overachiever! Wonderful ideas, thanks for the inspiration Natalie.

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome!

[@annettegriffiths3942]

Lots of great ideas and so many beautiful cards. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome!

[@TrixieLynn1]

I don't think I can choose a favorite one... they are all so lovely.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@HowcrossCastle]

Thank you for all your generous sharing of ideas and techniques. I find your videos SO inspiring, and they often pull me out of a crafting slump. Thank you so much. Ann

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome!

[@leanneusher1001]

Natalie, thank you so much for sharing your ideas and techniques. I didn't have nested butterflies, so I used hearts, cogs and baubles. I had already marbled some photo paper with shaving cream, and I was determined to use your video to create some cards with the marbled papers. I did most of the techniques, using mostly heart dies. I particularly enjoyed the faux embossing using an aperture die cut (poking out all those holes was interesting! Thank you for the tip to put tape on the back first!) over a solid card then cutting, and I also loved making my own embossing stencil by sticking card onto card :) Thank you! Now, to go off and make cards with all those card fronts ...

[@nbcascards]

Fantastic! Sounds like you had a good time. Thanks for sharing. x

[@matthewmacarthur2305]

Really great cards! So many interesting ideas. I love the butterflies you cut out of the card to which you attached the cover plate die cut. That's such a cool idea. TFS -Sarah

[@nbcascards]

Many thanks! 😃❤️👍

[@janetingacollins6409]

Cards 1 and 3 are my favorites. The added die cut and embossed leafy die cut really add that finishing touch. Great collection of cards 🤩

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! 🙏

[@jillpounds2219]

Oh my goodness! These cards are amazing! You have so many creative techniques. I'll have to save this video! I like the simpler cards because it's what I can do because of what I have. We are trying to build up our dies cut inventory. 😊 My husband is starting to craft with me. 🥰

[@nbcascards]

How lovely! ❤️

[@JH-wd7ul]

This video is AMAZING! Absolutely beautiful cards! I have several sets of nesting die shapes and want to try each of these techniques. So many ideas! You are a wonder, and I appreciate everything you do!!! 🩷👍👍👍👍👍

[@nbcascards]

Thank you, JH! :)

[@MissyElephant]

Thank you! You too. X

[@dianeb.4791]

A super video, Natalie! You’re like a machine…churning out all these ideas!!!

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much!

[@annekeschep8148]

Gorgeous cards, and what a great variation in possibilities. I think you could go on and on and come up with even more ways to use the butterfly nesting dies. And I could go on and on watching, LOL!! Definitely a video to watch again some time, thanks 👍

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! The possibilities are endless really. :)

[@MargueriteAtHome]

Wow! Lots more great ideas! Thank you again, Natalie! 😊

[@nbcascards]

Glad you like them!

[@adelldaugherty6829]

Wow! Such beautiful cards! I love them all, but the first sending love card is my favorite. I actually gasped when I saw it. I’ve learned so much from this series and have been inspired. I’m a bit sad that die cut December is almost over. Thank you again for sharing. 💜💜💜🦋

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! 😃

[@lauramoore4064]

Ooh I love #5. The colorful butterfly with the colorful negative.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! x

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Wow Natalie, you continue to astound me with all these tips and techniques. I do have some butterfly dies but not nesting ones ...but I donhave some shaped nesting dies so I think I'll have a go with them. Thanks so much for an impressive demo. I will save this to refer back to it. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊

[@nbcascards]

Great! Glad it was helpful. Have fun. x

I only started watching you this year, but I absolutely ADORE all your ideas and cards, i’ve made about 30 cards this year, next year I plan to treble that, I shall be buying distress oxides for my Christmas present this year and I can’t wait to get started next year. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. You deserve to have some time off from videoing because you work so hard for us all and we really do appreciate it. Happy Christmas Natalie and a very happy crafty New Year. Xxx ❤😘 xxx

[@caroleEvans2020]

They are all so beautiful Natalie!! I really can’t say which one is my favourite because I love them all! Will have to watch these again. When I eventually get a ring to put the different templates on, I will have to add some of these. Have a lovely weekend. Xx ps I am also going to write the date and the video number on the back of the template tags so that I can re-watch that particular tutorial to remind me. Xxx

[@sharmlanaidoo6708]

Amazing ideas with just that one set of dies.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks for watching. ❤️

[@janne6957]

You did get my brain in gear. I was thinking butterflies could be flying over clouds instead of other butterflies and the angled butterfly shows more life, or motion, than the one set straight on the card. Thanks for sharing!

You’re welcome! Thanks so much for watching. ❤️

So many great ideas! Cards 3A and 3B and 4 are my favorites. I'm in a spending moratorium in the new year, but when that ends, I need a butterfly die. Not nesting necessarily, but butterflies are so versatile. 💛😊

They are! Thanks so much. x

Great video, some fab tips, I think my faves were the butterflies with the silver embossing slightly offset, and then the butterfly where the nuvo drops took on the ink colour. x

So many ideas! I had a lightbulb moment with the diy embossing folder, to use alphabet dies and create a personalised name card.

[@nbcascards]

Great idea!

[@tracylee4442]

You can also fold those butterflies to give them dimension, like they are perched

Definitely!

Very Creative 😊

@@nbcascards Thanks for pointing out the link to the post it tape. I couldn't use your link as it was Amazon UK, but I finally did find it on the US site. It should be here after Christmas.

[@mintea2779]

Thank you for sharing Natalie..I've seen these dies and thought they weren't inspiring!! Little did I know!!!😊 I may use these but I have various dies that the design/technique can be applied too. That leaf die is lovely by the way what was it and do you have a link?

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! I believe the brand is 'Fleurs' but I don't know the name of the die. x

Awesome video as usual. I noticed you were using your Gemini mini. I love that machine, but do you have any good ideas for keeping the cutting folder from warping so badly?

[@nbcascards]

Thanks! I think it's just the nature of the material it's made of. I've found that flipping thr folder over and cutting on all sides helps. Also don't place the dies in the same place all the time. x

[@Banquebop]

These are beautiful all of them!! However, how do you get your neuvo drops so even? I’ve got some but they always seem to look messy for me, what am I doing wrong?
