Butterfly Birthday card

Happy Saturday!

I hope you have an amazing day!

Welcome to the very first video of #ButterflyCraftFest 2026! 🦋

I'm so excited to launch this month-long collaboration celebrating the beauty of butterflies through handmade paper crafts. Throughout August, a wonderful group of talented crafters will be sharing butterfly-inspired projects based on the prompts in the ButterflyCraftFest Calendar. 

Today's project is a very special 40th birthday card created for my best friend. I wanted to reflect her elegant personality, so I designed a clean white embossed background and used my own butterfly illustrations to create the number 40. This personalised card is a perfect example of how butterflies can become much more than decorative elements—they can help tell a story.
