Split Butterfly wings

stamps used:  Catherine Pooler Wings of joy stamp set/dies

This is a BIG butterfly that measures approximately 5 1/2" x 3 1/2".  When I use the full butterfly, I need to make what I call a medium card, which is a card size of 6 1/4" x 4 1/2".  I'm normally a A2 card gal, which 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".  Not only will this butterfly fit across an A2 card with ease; there are dies so I don't have to fussy cut it out.  For this card I stamped and die cut a bunch of the butterflies.  Next, lay out an open card ... unfolded.  mark the center of the unfolded card.  This is where you adhere your stamped images, in this case the butterflies.  You can overlap the butterflies or not as you see in my samples.  When you have them all adhered the way you like .... cut the card in half.  Now you have two card fronts to adhere to your base cards.
I saw this idea over on Jennifer McGuire blog - split cards trick.
