Opal Vinyl Butterfly Card

Creating a little Shimmer and Shine with this Iridescent Butterfly Card.

The Butterfly Card was made using StyleTechCraft’s Opal Vinyl.

StyleTechCraft’s Opal Vinyl comes in 9 amazing colors.

I love how the Opal Vinyl shimmers and changes as you move it with the light.

Opal Vinyl Butterfly Card Tips:

• For this card, I used the Butterfly SVG file from the Silhouette Store.  
• I wanted to give the butterflies dimension on this card. So, I adhered the opal vinyl onto white cardstock before cutting out the butterflies using a Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die-Cutting Machine*.  
• When cutting out the butterflies, I set my machine on heavy cardstock and used “3 passes” to cut out the butterflies.
• Cut the butterflies using several shades of opal vinyl. Place the butterflies into a Dotted Embossing Folder, run the embossing folder through the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine*.
• Use a fine tip black deco color paint marker* to add black dots over the embossed dots.

• Place Small Thin 3D Foam Squares* onto the back of each butterfly and place them onto the white butterfly outline.
• Cut the white and blue butterfly outline using the Butterfly SVG file using the Silhouette Cameo*.
• I used Thin 3D Foam Squares* under the white layer to give the card extra dimension.

• Cut the words “Happy Birthday” out of black craft vinyl and adhere the greeting onto the bottom of the card using Vinyl Transfer Tape*.
• Tie a simple white sheer ribbon to finish off this Summery Card.
