For this card, I wanted to make good use of the small scraps on my desk, and I had a stack of half‑inch by 1.5‑inch designer paper pieces waiting for a project. This punch turned out to be the perfect way to use them, letting me showcase a mix of patterns while clearing out a generous handful of scraps. I punched all the pieces, arranged them on white cardstock, added a gold layer for contrast, and mounted the finished panel on a white card base.
To bring in a focal element, I reached for my Spellbinders stitched butterfly and used some floss from the back of my chair that I am working to use up. I stitched the wings, added dimension, and finished the butterfly with a gold body. Once it was in place, I added the birthday sentiment and a few gold mirror candy dots to complete the design.
