Ruby Butterfly
Ever since I got my long rectangle Nestabilities I wanted to make a scallop square card with them.
I used the biggest template to cut my Ruby Red cardstock into a 3 1/8″ x 6 1/4″ rectangle and folded it in half to make my card base.
I cut down a Tea Time Designer Paper scrap to 1 1/4″ and 2 7/8″ and taped it on the bottom of the card front. Guava double stitched ribbon was tied around the top part of the designer paper.
I inked up only the word kind from the Kind Thought stamp set in Chocolate Chip and stamped it on Shimmery White cardstock. It was punched out with the Window Word Punch so that only one end was rounded. On the straight end I added a 1/4″ Groovy Guava circle and topped it off with a Pewter brad.
The butterfly from Kind Thoughts was first inked up with Ruby Red, then outlined with the Chocolate Chip marker and stamped on Shimmery White cardstock. It was cut out and layered on a 1 3/8″ Guava and a Chocolate Scallop circle.
I really like those little cards. I made another one to share with you later.
Beautiful Beate! What a great idea using those nesties!! Looks fabulous with scallops around the edges. Wonderful colours you used here too
The colors are wonderful as is your sketch, but they always are!
Purdy Purdy !!!!! I’ve GOT to get some nestabilities !!!! Ughhhh !!!!

Okay, so this is stinkin’ adorable Beate! I don’t have any of these nesties but now I want some! I love this little card, it is too too cute!

This is a fabulous card!! I can’t wait to get my rectangle nesties - they are on order and the wait is killing me. Thanks so much for sharing!
Awesome card…I love that little butterfly.
This is a great way to use these new big dies. Lovely colors!
I love seeing Groovy Guava and this card with the sweet butterfly is no exception! Lucky you to be enjoying your Nestie’s! Take care, hugs, Deb
super cute card! i love the colors
ah, nestabilities…i think this might be next on my list.
Amazing!!! I love the boldness of your card creation! LOVELY!
Love the card. I’m curious are the Nestabilities Long Rectangles available with scalloped edges or did you use two different ones? If they are, where did you find them?

very cute, and what a terrific color combo. I’ve neglected guava lately, your card makes me want to use it. just lovely, Beate!
Now I may have to bump these to the top of my wish list. Gorgeous card!
Beautiful! I love the color combination. I would never have thought of it but it is outstanding.
This is so beautiful, love your RAK’s too. I think I need to start doing this Sunday scrapbook thing so I can catch up on all these photos! TFS!
I SOOOOOO love this card! I’m not sure why–I mean, specifically, that is. I always like all your stuff, but there is something about this card that is extra eye-catching to me. Maybe because it is “red.” Whatever it is—GREAT JOB!!!!!
Great Job! I keep thinking the same thing. I tried once with the circles but messed it up and haven’t had a chance to go back and try again. You have inspired me to try again! LOLOL!
Gorgeous, Beate! I really, really love your color combo!!!
Great color combo! Really cute card!
An adorable card! I just got some Nestabilities this past weekend and can’t wait to play!
Lovely card - I love the cool edges!!
I love your scalloped card!! Your butterfly is gorgeous, and I love the colors!!
This is so pretty - love all the scallops!
I just love this card. Oh, to own the all the Nestibilities dies. Maybe for Christmas this year!!!!!!
