I actually shot two videos for the Glitter Puzzle Tutorial. One where you cut your puzzle with a hobby knife, and this one where I use Tim’s new Fanciful Flight Alteration Die.
The card base was cut out of Chocolate chip cardstock with Stampin’ Up!’s Big shot scallop square die. I cut another piece for my card front and sponged the edges with Walnut Stain distress ink. I inked up the big flower image from a Nature’s Moment with Peeled Paint and Chipped Sapphire. It was stamped on 4″ square of Just Dreamy 2 My Mind’s Eye paper.
The edges were sponged with Broken China Distress ink and stamped with the stitch stamp from Spring Sprung. (If you were following my blog 2 years ago…I was obsessed with using a stamp from All in a Row to fake stitching. This Tim stamp is sooo cool! I might get obsessed with using that.)
The sentiment is from Going Somewhere. It was stamped in Walnut ink and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. Stardust Stickles was added over the flower ends.
I ran a sheet of cardstock through my Xyron to add double sided adhesive. Then I cut the butterfly twice, once with the adhesive side up, once with the cardstock side up. If you cut the butterfly the same way twice, you will have two left glittery wings. 🙂
I attached the solid wing pieces to the card base with dimensionals, peeled off the adhesive backing and adhered the detailed wing part over it. Then I rubbed Red, Orange and Yellow Martha Stewart Glitter over the wing. After I tapped off the excess, I peeled the adhesive backing off the detailed stamp and added Brown Glitter.
Here is a video for the visual learner:

This is just gorgeous, Beate! I LOVE that butterfly and the glitter is just SO impressive with that die!
Beate -I am really enjoying all the Tim and Ranger products and ideas on your blog since you went to Ranger U… Thanks for sharing…
BTW – I did not know that the butterfly was in pieces… Hmmm maybe that will get added to my list!!!
I’ve been trying to decide on that butterfly, this gorgeous creation may have just sold me!
Love the new card and the tutorial is amazing. Thanks for the sweet message you left… It made my day that you liked it…

BROOKE
see, see, see…I would never have thought of using my Xyron to glue and then to use glitter!!! You are still teaching me new tricks…Thanks Beate…now, I have a question…I broke my Cuttle Bug “B” plate…and when I went to purchase a new one (at both Hobby Lobby and Michael’s) the “B” plate is thicker than the one I originally had…do you have any idea what is up with that? I did contact Provo Craft…but I thought I would run it past you to see if you knew anything about it…
Wow girl! This is stunning! That glittered butterfly is simply gorgeous all on it’s own BUT then you go added so many details to make this card AMAZING! Even those cool stitches!!! TFS!

Oh my…such a beautiful glittery butterfly!! Your card is gorgeous, Beate…and I love your zig-zag stitching!!
Thank you so much for showing the Tim Holtz stuff on cards. I see his stuff in the stores, and I love it…but never really know how to use it. It is unique and different from the other papercrafting stuff. It is so nice to see what it looks like as a final product.
This is seriously one of my most favoritest (I know that’s not a real word LOL!) cards ever. You rock my world Beate!
