Hello, crafters. Welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video! In this video, I’m creating with the Simon Says Stamp Fluttering Butterflies layering stencil to make a Birthday Card for a sister. I don’t have a sister, I’m the only child, but my friend has a sister and I was making a card with her in mind.

CARD DETAILS
The Fluttering Butterflies is a set of 3 stencils, each covering a part of the butterfly. The stencils are etched and they tell you which color of ink to use for each layer. So you have a light layer, a medium layer, and a dark layer. How cool is that? I love that the product makes it easy for me as a cardmaker to use it, I don’t have to do guesswork, I can read the etching on the stencil, and boom, I know what shade of ink to use. Of course, I don’t have to follow this, I can do whatever I want, and so can you, but having this information etched on the stencil itself is invaluable!
I used 3 colors of ink for each butterfly and I did directional ink blending on my favorite Simon Says Stamp 130lb cardstock. The colors I used are Cantaloupe, Peachy, Grapefruit, Seafoam, Tidepool, Limelicious, Citrine, Sherbet, and Guava.
Next, I stamped the sentiment overlapping the butterflies and added a “Happy Birthday” sub-sentiment directly below it.
Lastly, I embellished my card with Simon’s Rose Gold confetti. Have fun stamping!
