I have had to take it easy this week and stay off my main computer as much as possible as my shoulder is painful when typing so the following cards have taken rather a long time to make and get posted.
I have made tutorials for them which you will find as usual over on the
Butterfly Blog on the card shapes page under the blog header.
First card is a fairly straight forward accordion style notelet which folds flat with a belly band closure. You can make these any size you like. This one is quite small and ideal for popping in with gift.
I have used the following form the Butterfly Wheel:
Accordion Card/Apple Blossom/Aquamarine / Butterfly.
The digi paper I have used is by Cuddly Buddly called Pretty Mix Blue no 8 and is the company that I have chosen for the gift certificates for the current Butterfly challenge.
The die cut is from Spellbinders A2 'Foral Ribbon Threader' and the stamped butterfly a freebie from a 34 piece stamp set in 'Paper Crafter Magazine' some time ago. Pink butterfly is an SU punch.
I printed the sentiment in word and cut out individually, layering on plain cardstock before attaching to each page to spell out the word as the accordion is opened up. the butterfly has a coating of wink of stella and really sparkles in the light.
Entering this card into the following challenges:
Second card opens up like a normal card but inside it has the Wow Factor that you are just not expecting.
I have used the following from the Butterfly Wheel:
Accordion Card/Any patterned paper x2/Apple Blossom/Aquamarine /Apricot/ Butterfly.
Digi Image is from Buddly Crafts called 'Bird Houses by Kim Macfarlane. Digi papers are also by Buddly Crafts. This front one is BitsofIvory 'Warm Diamonds' Back page digi design is by Barbara Anne williams from here Wee Ones Brights set 'Aqua Spots' I have coloured the images using my Graph'it pens.. Below you can see the card beginning to open up.
Card fully opened. below. You will find a comprehensive step by step picture tutorial for making this card over on the Butterfly Blog as already explained.
Sentiments are by Woodwarefrom their clear magic stamps set 'Just To Say'. Flight of butterflies are from Clearly Besotted 'Good Times' Clear stamp set.
Entering this card into the following challenges:
Last card is using a digi Lilyboo Designs 'My New Easter Bonnet' from Buddly crafts. I fell in love with this image and just had to buy it and colour her up.
I have used the following form the Butterfly Wheel:
Any Design paper x2/Aquamarine / Butterfly.
Coloured with my Graph'it markers. the sentiment is by Kanban Crafts from their clear stamp set 900543. Digi papers are We Ones Brights ' Linen and Aqua Stripes' by Barbara Anne Williams and Buddly Crafts Pretty Mix blue no 4 wit(h the butterflies on it).

. Challenge will therefore now end on Tuesday 28th July.

I am so sorry to hear that you are having shoulder troubles. My husband had to go to a pain center and get a series of 3 cortisone shots to get rid of his pain.
These cards are so fantastic! I'm going to have a look at the tutorial and see if I can do it!
Hugs,

A super selection of cards, Mrs A. I especially love the surprise on the second card when it's opened.
Hope your shoulder improves soon.

Hi Mrs A,
I do so hope you are soon out of pain with that shoulder.
Love all your wonderful designs they are all gorgeous and so colourful too.
Great accordian shapes as well.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
My husband sounds the same as you with his shoulder Valery, hope it eases soon. Your cards are absolutely gorgeous!
Hi Valery, great card ideas. I do hope your shoulder is feeling better as that sounds very painful.
You have outdone yourself with these. Every card is delightful. The inside just pops on the birdhouse card and it is so unique. I hope there is something to be done for your shoulder. Being in pain is no fun and I can't believe you struggled through it to make these great cards.
