This pop-up is slightly more difficult than the single butterfly pop up. I will upload a template so that you can see approximate placement of the triangular folds for the pop up. When placing the butterflies it's best to put a tiny bit of mono on the corner you will be attaching until you get the right angles so that the butterfly doesn't show when the card is closed and so that it opens properly. Once you have the proper placement trace the spot lightly with a pencil and then use sticky strip for the final placement.

This is beautiful, can't wait to make one for my nice who adores butterflies. Did you ever post the front of this card, I was curious how you tied the inside and outside together.?

I have to admit that the front for this card was pretty plain, so I didn't post it. What I did was stamp the "celebrate" stamp from lexicon of love in Lovely Lilac on US white CS and then shadow stamped some of the watercolor blossoms and leaves over top. I then cut the piece to a 2"x2" square and wiped the edges along my my lovely lilac pad. I mounted the "celebrate" square on a piece of slightly larger vellum CS. The background of the front of the card was stamped with canvas which was randomly inked with lovely lilac and the celebrate square was mounted on an angle on top. My thinking behind the relatively plain front was that someone would get a big surprise once they opened the card. Also, the card is really meant to be displayed open.
