Love the colors and I’m a butterfly lover so I loved the card

[@ginmcd]

Like, real Butterflies that have to go through several stages before they can emerge as a gorgeous Butterfly, this card also goes through several steps but as with real Butterflies every step is absolutely worth it. The end result is a GORGEOUS card.

[@SimonSaysStamp]

What a thoughtful comment!

[@user-nt6yt7nl7d]

So pretty ❤

[@shellyrulli5787]

Spectacular card! Thank you!

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Glad you like it!

[@shellyrulli5787]

@SimonSaysStamp I actually started making my version of it last night. I love your idea of stamping the postage with a script background stamp. I've done that too and for the butterflies, I've got a 9 piece set of butterfly dies and I cut them out on cardstock I applied Shimmer Pixie Powder to.

[@rollonmom]

Absolutely beautiful

[@zeldaackerman4394]

[@heidirnstad265]

❤

[@lolal1026]

Very pretty, I'm on the fence here I think the background takes away from the tiles & butterflies.

[@lorisickavish1335]

Love this card!!! I bought the SSS Elegantly Modern Greetings Hot Foil Plates and can't get them to foil. I am using Hammermill cardstock, have heated the Glimmer twice and I get underfoiling, but the serif on the words cut into the paper. I tried to take away the Glimmer shim and use a cardstock or even a cardstock plus a copy paper shim, but continuously get the same thing. Underfoiled image with the plate cutting into the thin lines of the serif. Any ideas would be appreciated.

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Have you tried it on a glossy paper like our white glossy or color blends? Foil works marvelously on them. Also, you can try running it through more than once. If you need one-on-onee assistance, please don't hesitate to contact our customer service department [e-mail]

[@lauraziolkowski2652]

Could you use a water mark ink, so you can stamp all at one time?

[@SimonSaysStamp]

That might work! Try it!

[@ritah7457]

Beautiful card, Nichol!
