A pretty fun fold card made using the All Aflutter stamp set and co-ordinating All Aflutter Punch from Stampin' Up!

Fluttering By Card

Posted on May 24, 2026May 17, 2026 by Mo Rootes

I made this fluttering by card using pieces left over from my May classes combined with the All Aflutter stamp set and co-ordinating Punch.

Colours used to make this card are:

I created the fluttering by card using the following supplies:

Thick Basic White card base – 5⅞”” by 5⅛ scored on the short-side at 4⅛”
Thick Basic White – 4⅛ by 3⅛”
Basic White – 3¼” by 3”
Lovely Blossoms dsp – 5¾” by ⅞”
Lovely Blossoms dsp – 4” by 1¼” x 2
Barely Blush – 2⅜” by 2⅜”
Scrap Basic White

The three pieces of Lovely Blossoms dsp were glued to the Thick Basic White card base. The long thin one along the top flap and the two shorter, squatter ones on either side.

I embossed the 3¼” by 3” piece of Basic White card using the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder. The embossed piece was then adhered to the 4⅛ by 3⅛” piece of Thick Basic White card with a small border around both sides and the bottom. It won’t reach the top of the panel, and this is intentional. Glue was added to the un-embossed strip at the top of the panel and the whole piece adhered under the top flap.

From the square of Barely Blush card I die cut a decorated circle using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. The sentiment was stamped on the die cut circle using Black ink and the circle was mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped the trio of butterflies with Black ink, coloured them in with the light Barely Blush, Hydrangea Hue and Old Olive Blends Pens. The butterflies were then punched out using the All Aflutter Punch.

The spray of flowers were stamped on top of the stems in Gorgeous Grape ink. I stamped it again, without re-inking and slightly rotated.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The lovely Painted Lavender stamp set used to make a simply stamped card for the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop

The butterflies were stamped in Pool Party ink. At this point I stamped a small sentiment directly onto the panel ……… and it wasn’t straight……. Aaaahhh. I glued the stamped panel to the Gorgeous Grape layer.

The spray of flowers was stamped in 2^nd generation, or stamped off, Fresh Freesia ink in the upper left and lower right corners of the Fresh Freesia card front. The decorated panel was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I stamped a different, slightly larger sentiment onto scrap Basic White card and trimmed it down. It didn’t quite cover the squint sentiment so I added a layer of Pool Party card before adding it to the card front.
