I made this card today to explore my new Cricut cartridge “Potpourri Basket”. Potpourri is exactly what it implies- it’s a collection of images from 17 Cricut cartridges. The image I chose was the butterfly which is originally from “Home Accents”. I also wanted to explore a birthday gift I received from my sister. She gave me some beautiful die-cuts from K & Company called Blossomwood (Tim Coffey) and Que Sera Sera. She also gave me the corresponding Tim Coffey Blossomwood paper stack, along with some other crafty items. This card is 5×7 and uses the paisley paper from the Blossomwood stack. I cut the butterfly using some pearlescent cardstock by Wausau. The Blossomwood die-cuts I used are on the right hand side of the card. The dragonfly is raised up with dimensionals, as well as the butterfly which is embellished with three small pearls. I tied the colors together with a yellow gingham ribbon.
Thanks for checking it out!

I’m glad you found a use for the die cuts I sent your way. I love the way you incorporated both the butterfly and dragonfly on the same card. The colors you chose work well with each other. Take care of yourself. Love, Paula Ann

Hi Lindsay, thanks so much! This is the first time I have used coordinating die-cuts and paper together. I can’t wait to do more experimenting! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! ~Vanessa
Hi Vanessa! Beautiful card!!! The pearls on the butterfly are a nice touch. The dragon fly came out great. I love the patterned paper on the background!!! ~Sophia
Hi Sophia! Thanks for the wonderful comments! This was an experiment for me as far as color and using the store-bought die-cuts that go with the Blossomwood paper by Tim Coffey. I can’t wait to experiment so more with these items. Thanks for stopping by! ~Vanessa
