One of my dear stampinÂ’ friends has a birthday this week and these are the hardest cards to make. First, you want it to be special for a special friend; then, it must be outstanding because that friend is also a stamper! And finally, you know she will display the card- so there is even more pressure. This stand up card was just perfect along with my very best and favorite Designer Paper from StampinÂ’ Up and a little silver bling. I used white shimmery metallic paper and clear embossed the image and the punched butterflies. I love how it turned out and the back is as pretty as the front, donÂ’t you think?

This is a beautiful card. You have finished it completely. Your friend is very lucky to receive this card and also to have such a nice friend to want to please her.

WOW, Diane is this ever beautiful and even more so IRL! You sure outdid yourself with this one. The stamping alone would make a gorgeous card, but the unique fold makes it all the more special. I know for a fact that she LOVES it! I do too!

Beautiful and I do think the back is gorgeous, also. This will have to go into my favorites as I am wanting to use this stamp and you have made a wonderful creation with it. Glad I saw your post today for this being one of your favorites for 2009.

So gorgeous! I love the buttons & brad, as well as the butterflies on the two outer "wings." Isn't it nice to use all your good stash on someone who will appreciate it?!?
