Quick & Easy DIY Butterfly Cards with PET Tape, Dies & Fussy Cutting | Using up old pattern papers

Hello crafty friends!
In today’s video, I’m sharing two butterfly cards made using some fussy cut butterflies from a very old patterned paper—proof that even those scraps we almost toss can turn into something beautiful. I’ve paired them with PET tape, a filmstrip die, a Polaroid-style frame, and a few simple tricks for dimension and shine.

You’ll find tips for:
1. Fussy cutting and shaping butterfly wings
2. Working with PET tape (including what not to do!)
3. Layering sentiments for a soft shadow effect
4. Getting more use out of your washi and sticker books

✨ If you’ve been saving paper scraps or sticker books "for later"—this is your sign to start using them!
