When I saw the them for this month I did have to google different ways to use vellum. As my logo contains a butterfly I decided that I would make a scrapbook layout using vellum butterflies. I was very unsure how the velum butterflies would work out but still gave it a go.
How to make the vellum butterflies for the Scrapbook Layout
First I decided to use Vellum A4 card stock and the butterfly mask from the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks. I ten decided to use the Pick a Tool with the ball end attached. I started off by drawing round the outline of the butterfly and then filling in the detail. But I found that trying to line up the decorative part inside the butterfly outline quite hard so I did the decorative butterfly first and then the outline.
Once I have made two butterflies using White Vellum A4 card stock I decided to make another two using the Polished Pink Shimmer Vellum from the 2021-2023 In Colour Shimmer Vellum. I then cut them all out. I then had a choice of which side of each butterfly to use.
Next I tried to die cut some butterflies out using the individual butterfly dies from the Brilliant Wings dies but only a couple actually worked out.
Making the Scrapbook layout using vellum butterflies
As my main logo colour is pink and I have a few craft shows coming up I thought I would design a scrapbook layout to show my craft stall and brand new logo tablecloth.
I started off with a 12×12 piece of Basic White card stock. Next I cut a 6cm strip of Polished Pink card stock for my title mat layer. I then cut a 4cm strip from A4 Basic White card stock to add my title to. I then cut 2 15.5cm x 11cm pieces of Polished Pink card stock to make my photo mat layers. Finally I cut a piece of Polished Pink card stock for my journaling mat layer and stuck the mat layers onto the layout.
Next I die cut the title ‘Craft Fair’ using the Playful Alphabet dies and Polished Pink Shimmer vellum ensuring that the glitter side was on top. I then stuck the two Polished Pink butterflies onto my title strip and then stuck the letters between both butterflies.
Finally I stuck the two white butterflies and the die cut butterfly onto the scrapbook layout.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing how I made vellum butterflies for my scrapbook layout. Now I am all ready to take some photos of my craft stall with my new logo tablecloth.

The Vellum butterflies turned out so well. Vellum is a tricky paper to work with. Dies can sometimes tear/rip. I’ve heard of a tip using wax paper on top of the vellum before die cutting to avoid tearing. I personally have not tried it to know if it works.
Thanks for sharing your process! Good luck at the craft fair!
What a creative way to use the stencils! I love it.
Those butterflies are GORGEOUS! Such a fabulous page!
