Hello, crafty friends and welcome to The Ton’s Slimline Die Release Blog Hop!!! We all know how popular the slimline size has become in cardmaking and today Effie has released 14 slimline dies plus a beautiful butterfly grouped layering stamp set & die!! So exciting!!

If you arrived here from Vera’s Blog, you’re on the right track!! There is also a complete list at the bottom of this post!!

Let’s get to my project!!

I knew that I wanted to use the new Kaleidoscope Butterflies stamp set and color it similar to monarch butterflies. I stamped the butterflies with Caviar Ink, colored them with Copics and cut them out with the Coordinating Die.

For the background, I die-cut the Slimline Candy Cane Stripe Coverplate Die from white cardstock. I ink blended Lemon Drop, Coralline, Coral Cavern and Valentine Red inks onto a panel of Bristol smooth cardstock. Once it was dry, I adhered the die-cut panel over the ink blended one.

The “hello” greeting was die-cut from red, white and black glitter cardstock with the hello dies in the Script Word Dies Bundle, then stacked and adhered together. The die-cut sentiment was adhered to the center of the background panel and the butterflies were adhered only in the center to allow the wings to “pop up” off the background. I did add dots with a white gel pen to brighten the white dots around the outside of each butterfly.

OK…your next stop is Olga and here is a complete list of stops…
