Required tools:
Big Shot die cutting tool
Tim Holtz rosette wafer thin die
(you'll need extended platform and cutting plates

for the rosette die)
Tim Holtz movers and shapers butterfly dies
(you'll need the base tray to put the

movers and shapers butterflies in before running through Big Shot)
edger punch of your choice
2" round scallop punch (or die cut)
your favorite scissors
anti static embossing pouch

(baby powder or cornstarch will work too)







Step 1
Gather supplies
cut papers to size listed above
use scallop circle punch to punch 1 from the sour salt

(red letter) pattern paper
use edge punch to punch a border on 1 long side of your

3 1/2" x 1 1/2" dark brown cardstock
use Big Shot and Tim Holtz rosette die to die cut 1 rosette strip

from the raisin (striped) pattern paper
use Big Shot and Tim Holtz mover and shapers butterflies die

to die cut 1 butterfly from corrugated sheet




Step 2
Using a tape runner adhere the punched dark cardstock to

bottom edge of type writer paper. Then adhere to cut cardstock mat.

and then adhere this layered piece to card front.




OPTIONAL-
since the inside of the card is dark brown, I used a large circle

die cutter (or punch) to punch out some lined paper and adhered

inside so there is space to write a personal note.
when die cutting the tim holtz rosette, you'll get a little pinking edge

die cut as well - normally you use this when putting together the flower,

this time I don't need it for the flower, so I used it as a little embellishment

on the inside instead, and it helps tie in the colors and pattern from the

front of the card.


Step 3
Making the rosette.
after die cutting, you'll see you have perforation all along the

length of your die cut.


simply accordion fold back and forth, back and forth all

along the strip.



then add a line of red line tape to one end.
remove the red film from tape, and adhere the other end of the

strip to the first- making a ring.



then- have a pop dot ready-
and gently push the top edge of the ring down and in at the same

time and the pleated edges will fall right into place making a

rosette shape- hold in place with one hand until you can set a pop

dot right into the middle.
then place your scallop punched paper on top of the glue dot

creating a layered-stacked look.






carefully turn your rosette over- and place another glue dot on

the back side- right in the middle
and then attach to your card front where ever you like.


(please note, once perforated, and then accordion folded ,

the paper has been through a lot, and is delicate) Be gentle.

If it does tear along a perforation you can splice it back together

with some additional red line tape, but if you handle it too much...

you might need to cut another die and try again. It takes a couple

of tries before you get the hang of it, but once you do, you won't

be able to stop making rosettes!

Step 4
embellishing your card.

Select a soup label to serve as your greeting. If you want,

you can use one of the blank labels and write in your own

personal message!


We need to make most of the label NON- sticky. So that we

can form it into a 'flag'
To do that:
you'll hang on to the area you want to stay sticky- and then pat

your anti static bag on the rest of the adhesive side of the label-

making it non-sticky! If you do not have an anti static bag you can

use baby powder or cornstarch. You just need a little of the

powder to brush across the adhesive side.

Now with the portion you did not 'de-stick' you can attach to your

layered rosette on card front.
Then, because these labels are made from cardstock,

you can bend it a bit to make it look like it's fluttering in the wind.




Next wrap the bakers twine around the body of your die cut

corrugated butterfly a few times and tie off on top. cut ends-

these sort of look like antenna dont you think?






attach to layered rosette on card front

add a cluster of buttons in one corner.


If you like, rub an ink pad across the edges of your corrugated butterfly-

the ink just hits the top of the fluted paper making for a fun effect.






Are you loving the look of the corrugated die cut as much as I am?

And that typewriter paper is soooo cute!

Happy Card Making!
