Sometimes a card comes together just right—and this one has all the soft and sweet vibes I love. I’m so excited to share this “Thinking of You” card today featuring the Beautiful Butterflies bundle paired with the Everyday Arches dies. Isn’t that arch shape the perfect frame for that bright, cheerful butterfly?
I used soft yellows and rich blues to bring a sunny yet calming feel to this design, making it perfect for sending a little heartfelt encouragement. The Everyday Arches dies add such a lovely layered look without being over the top, and I couldn’t resist adding a few finishing touches with gems and stamped details.
If you’ve been looking for a way to spotlight the gorgeous butterflies in this bundle, these arches are a great match. The combination of depth, elegance, and a pop of color makes this card one of my favorites to just sit and admire for a moment.
I hope this inspires you to pull out your butterfly stamps and start playing. The Beautiful Butterflies bundle is a standout all year round, and when paired with a thoughtful sentiment, it’s ideal for sending a smile just when someone needs it.

The card I created during the demo really showcased the elegance and texture this bundle brings to the crafting table. Those butterfly details practically leap off the paper, catching the light in all the right ways. It's one of those sets that makes you stop mid-project just to admire the results—and honestly, who doesn’t love a little crafting admiration moment?
