I have another holiday card to share, but this one is all about butterflies and it has a pop-up feature!
I went with traditional red and green and used foil and glitter cardstock. I received these layering dies in friend mail and this is the first time I've used them. It's a lot of die-cutting, but the nice thing is that there are a lot of left-over butterflies that punched out that I can save for future projects! I stamped a sentiment from Your Next Stamp and added a number of red gems in the centers of the butterflies.
I was inspired by Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge, where the theme is "P" for Pop-up Card plus butterflies. She provided a tutorial here, and I went with the easier version 2. It was not easy to get a good photo so I took a few.

This is absolutely stunning, and the leftover butterflies will be fun to use!
So beautiful in the traditional colors and I love all the butterflies.
I knew you would come up with a great idea for butterflies and Christmas. What wonderful dies they are and who could resist all that sparkle and shine!
I love this card Kitty, the nesting dies are fabulous! It's such a pretty way to layer the shapes, and the colours you chose are wonderful. Although it's a lot of work, it was definitely worth the effort. The pop-up section of the card is fantastic and I love that you've embellished it with some of the butterflies from the front. Clever!
Cheers,
