I’ve seen these really cute Butterfly Easel cards online and found a free (!) tutorial at: http://www.parchmentpaperie.com/2011/04/butterfly-easel-card-tutorial.html. Here’s what I came up with for a recent class:

This is just a card front but you could easily make it into a full card. The above photo shows the butterfly propped open with Pearls. I haven’t quite figured it out to keep the butterfly held back in place, it keeps popping up just a bit but still looks cute 🙂

Here’s how it looks when folded flat.

Stamps: “Happy Greetings”
Ink: Always Artichoke
Paper: Always Artichoke, Very Vanilla, Pretty in Pink, Springtime Vintage DSP
Accessories: Framed Tulips Embossing Folder, Beautiful Butterflies die, Pearls, Dimensionals
