Butterflies In Flight




 I was scrolling through YouTube 

the other day and found this 

intriguing pop-up card.




I hope I did justice to this design.





It's quite complicated, for me anyway. 

But I watched the video, stopped it 




and rewound it many times 




while going through the steps.




The artist name is Sarah Trebilcock

and I'm putting the link here 

to her video on YouTube.

Just in case any of you want to try 

making it.

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

Have fun!!!

And God bless you all. 

You're blogging sister, 

Connie :)

    1. Thank you, I can't believe how long it took me to put it together. Even with the video, but of course on the video she made it look so easy, LOL.

  3. That is beautiful, Connie! What a LOT of work! Do you plan to keep it, or give it away as a gift? I hope if given away, the recipient knows how much work went into creating it! It is truly lovely! You have a lot of patience to make things like that! What a gift!

    1. I forgot to do a photo with all the little branches that come off the frame. These branches are where the butterflies spring off from. It was a challenge, but we need that now a then 😊

  8. Connie that card is gorgeous! I know how much work those are! I've made a few like that, and usually one is about all I have patience to do! Then I'm on to some other new challenge. I bought a die set a few years ago from Anna Griffin.. she is a wonderful cardmaker and creates beautiful scrapbook papers from old wallpaper, and wonderful dies that cut out all sorts of things for cards and gifts. This one was a flower cart, with a roof, awning, baskets of flowers, wheels, etc. and took me forever to make! It was so wonderful and I did manage to make two. But now it sits in the box all alone, with me having no further plans to make anymore! Such a shame. Yours is just lovely with all the little butterflies that I see your printed out and cut each out and colored. It really IS fun to have these challenges now and then! I get tired of the same old things, and like to always be making something different. I watch YouTube almost daily for ideas on new things and now and then, something will catch my eye and I just HAVE to make it! I think my paper crafting has slowed down some, for whatever reason. I think I've run out of new YouTube channels to watch! Hugs.... Marilyn (this shows anonymous and don't know why).....

    1. I've always been fascinated with pop-up cards, but they are time consuming and tricky. I wonder what's going on with blogger, you should not be coming up as anonymous? 🥴

    2. Connie, I don't know why I show as anonymous! It is happening on other blogs too! Weird. I'm trying to fix it.

  12. Oh wow that is so cool and just beautiful, love your coloring of the butterflies and I love the surprise inside.
    I am the same way when trying to follow a video, I am always stopping and rewinding, but I learn so much better through video than I do written instructions. Thanks for sharing the link, I might just give it a try :)

  13. A delightful card. And your butterflies are "Oh, Wow!" I love that you were careful to give credit to the card maker. Blessings!

    1. I'm sure she put many hours into designing it. There's a lot of technical work into figuring out the angles so that everything works and putting together a DIY video on top of that. She deserves to be praised.
