The Everyday Essentials Designer Series Paper really shines here because it adds beautiful floral detail without requiring advanced techniques. Using patterned paper as a design feature is such a wonderful creative shortcut, especially for beginners. The navy floral layer brings contrast and charm, while the yellow patterned accents add playful brightness that keeps everything feeling light and happy.
This clean and simple layout is another gentle creative win. Easy paper layering gives this card structure without overwhelming the design. By combining a few thoughtfully chosen rectangles and soft color mats, the finished card looks balanced and polished while still being incredibly easy to recreate.
The Cloud Cover, Bubble Bath, and Lemon Lolly color combination is especially lovely for all-occasion crafting. Cloud Cover creates softness, Bubble Bath adds a delicate feminine warmth, and Lemon Lolly brightens everything with cheerful energy. Together, these colors create a palette that feels uplifting, kind, and perfect for cards that are meant to encourage or simply remind someone they matter.
This card is also a wonderful reminder that simple handmade cards can help stamp out loneliness in meaningful ways. A butterfly card like this can easily become a note of encouragement, appreciation, or friendship—small gestures that often carry the biggest impact.
How To Make This Card

Easy Butterfly Card with the All Aflutter Stamp Set
Supplies Needed
- Cloud Cover Cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (scored at 4-1/4")
- Basic White Cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4" (inside card)
- Everyday Essentials Designer Paper: 2-1/4" x 4-3/4" (floral pattern)
- Everyday Essentials Designer Paper: 1" x 5-1/4" (striped pattern)
- Bubble Bath Cardstock: 2-1/2" x 2-3/4"
- Basic White Cardstock: 2-1/4" x 2-1/2"
- Lemon Lolly Cardstock: 1/2" x 3-1/4"
Instructions
- Note: The Cloud Cover Ink Pad is currently unavailable. To create a Cloud Cover ink pad, take one of the Uninked Stampin' Spots and use the Cloud Cover Ink Refill to slowly add ink to the pad. Once all of the ink moves down to the bottom of the ink pad, stop inking, let set for 15 minutes, test it, and continue reinking if necessary.
- Fold the Cloud Cover cardstock in half at the score line to create your card base.
- Adhere the 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock inside the card, decorating as desired.
- Ink up the outline butterfly stamp using Cloud Cover ink, doing your best to only add ink to the 2 bottom butterflies. Stamp off two times on your scratch paper and then stamp onto the top of the card front as shown in the sample. (The top butterfly is not stamped onto the top of the card.)
- Adhere the 1" strip of plaid Everyday Essentials paper about 1" up from the bottom of the card. Adhere the floral Everyday Essentials paper onto the card as shown in the sample.
- Using the Cloud Cover ink spot, ink the outline butterfly stamp and stamp onto the 2-1/4" x 2-1/2" piece of Basic White cardstock. Ink up the bold butterfly stamp with the same ink, stamp off on your cardstock, and then stamp inside the previously stamped outline stamp.
- Adhere the Basic White cardstock to the Bubble Bath cardstock and adhere to the card front – you want to place it where the butterflies move from this piece to the ones stamped on Step #4.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the Lemon Lolly cardstock. This is a very light color so you may want to add a few drops of ink refill to the Ink Spot before stamping for a darker color.
- Adhere the Lemon Lolly sentiment to the front of the card using Stampin' Dimensionals to finish.
