Difficulty Rating: Moderate
This project is approachable for beginners who are comfortable with basic IdeaStudio tools, but it includes:
- multiple layers
- welded shapes
- small floral details
- careful assembly
So it sits right in the Moderate range — not hard, but not a first‑day project either.
Create a bright and dimensional 3D butterfly greeting card using layered cardstock, floral accents, and simple IdeaStudio tools. This project walks you through slicing shapes for clean cutouts, welding elements to form single cuttable pieces, arranging decorative flowers, and prepping each layer for smooth cutting. Perfect for practicing multi‑layer design and learning how different machines handle detailed cardstock cuts.
This card features a bold butterfly with lifted wings, corner florals, and a clean base layer — ideal for birthdays, encouragement cards, or spring‑themed projects.
