I used SU! Certainly Celery CS for the easel card. I cut it to 11" x 5 1/2" and scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2". The front piece is 5 1/2" square. I used square Nesties for my layers. I punched the butterflies using celery CS and then die cut the squares, layering the celery squares over some larger deep pink CS squares.
The 'to you from me' sentiment is from the SU! Best Yet set. I added 3 Prima flowers to the sentiment square. The gorgeous patterned paper is from the Basic Grey Sultry collection. I swiped Choc Chip ink around both pieces of patterned paper before adhering them to the card. This time, I used two stacked buttons to act as a 'stop' to hold the front panel up.
I used the last of my beautiful ruffled deep pink Pebbles Inc. ribbon to tie around the base - this was a sweet gift from Michelle. To finish off, I added self adhesive gems to the butterfly bodies and the flower centres. I do hope it cheered Michelle up and that she feels much better soon!

Hi Ruth! So you did get the punch after all, eh? I wish I would love next door to you so I could borrow it in between! LOL!!! Is it the same size as the one you used in my card? Is it pretty strong? I mean does it cut through pretty thick card stock or only thin CS, does it cut well CS like Stampin Up's? I would love to know that! I still want it but is all this questions that have stop me from ordering one! so if you can answer this questions for me, that would be awesome!
Thank you so much Ruth. As always you make such an amazing cards! Keep it up!
