3D Butterfly Card Tutorial: A Perfect Blend of Beauty and Crafting
Hi friends, Tami here! I’m so excited to share a special card tutorial with you today. If you’re a fan of butterflies and beautiful florals, this 3D Butterfly Card set will surely captivate you. I’ve combined two amazing Stampin’ Up! products—the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle and the Expressions in Kindness Kit—to create something truly magical.
Why You’ll Love This Card
The Expressions in Kindness Kit has such a nostalgic vibe with its watercolor florals and stunning gold foil accents. It’s one of those kits that makes crafting feel like a special, hands-on experience. I used pieces from this kit to create the base for these cards, and they turned out even more beautiful than I had imagined.
The 3D butterflies, which I colored with Stampin’ Blends markers, give the cards an elegant, layered look that really pops!
Adding a Special Touch: 3D Effect
To make the butterflies come to life, I used a bone folder to gently curl the wings. This added depth and dimension that brings the butterflies off the page. And of course, I couldn’t resist adding a bit of shimmer! I used Wink of Stella Glimmer over the top of the butterflies for just the right amount of sparkle. It’s even more stunning in person, though the shimmer doesn’t quite capture on camera.
Step-by-Step Instructions: Free PDF & Video Class
Don’t worry if you’re a new card maker! I’ve got you covered with step-by-step instructions. You can grab the free PDF that includes everything you need, including a complete supply list.

How to Mail This Beautiful Card
Now, you might be wondering how to send these lovely 3D cards. The good news is that these cards fit perfectly inside a standard envelope, and you can use the matching envelopes from the Expressions in Kindness Kit to keep everything coordinated. However, because of the 3D effect, you might need to add a little extra postage to make sure it arrives safely.
About the Stampin’ Up! Products Used
As I mentioned, the Expressions in Kindness Kit is part of the Kits Collection and it is absolutely stunning. I made these cards exactly as the kit’s instructions suggest.
And let me tell you, this kit goes a long way. I created all of the cards in this set with just one kit, and I still have so many beautiful pieces left to play with. If time allows, I hope to make even more cards with the leftover bits!
