The Butterfly Challenge has the theme of 'W for Window Card'. You can find the instructions for this fold HERE and it's a really easy one to make. The challenge closes later today, so I'm cutting it a bit fine to join in with the challenge. The other 'W' elements are Wood/Wheat/Wisteria/Wild Blue Yonder + a Butterfly. I decided to go with Window Card/Wood/Wheat/Wisteria + Butterfly.
The patterned papers are from two different paper pads from The Range. I folded the 'window', then cut two squares in the wheat and wisteria coloured patterned papers slightly smaller than the window and layered them inside. The sentiment is a Cut & Make die cut. The numbers from The Works are wooden and already painted white. I added little punched butterflies in the corners of my cards and put a pearl body in each one.
The card folds flat for posting.
I am joining in the following challenges:

A lovely dimensional card design which can fold flat for posting, always a bonus in these times of high stamp prices.

I have never tried this pretty fold but will definitely bear this one in mind as it makes a wonderfully creative centrepiece on a card and folds flat too. The papers are really lovely Liz and also the sweet little punched butterflies with a pearl on top in each of the corners and a great touch to add the layered mat in the centre...a fabulous 70th birthday card! x

Beautiful card Liz. Funnily enough I made my sister in law a 60th card using the same fold last month. Works so well!
