Labels Collection Framelits!  They worked great for my card share today.  I decided to make a mini card that truly spotlights the Labels Collection Framelits.  This card is 4-3/4″ x 3-3/4″, and I think it is so cute.   The stitching in the ribbon goes so well with the selected designs from the designer series paper!

The card is a great one to make multiples of to give to people who deserve a special “Thank You” for a service he/she provided to you (e.g., a waitress, nurse, bank teller, etc.).  It’s small, fitting into the palm of your hand, and multiples would easily fit inside a small purse so they would be handy when needed.  

Here is a closeup of the card’s center which features the new Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Punch.

 And, this picture provides a side view that provides a 3-D view of the butterfly.
