They are also part of the BUTTERFLY BOUQUET COLLECTION, (available now - 3 May) which also includes the BUTTERFLY BIJOU DESIGNER SERIES PAPER and the NATURAL TOUCH SPECIALTY PAPER.

The DSP and the specialty paper will be available only through 3 May, or while supplies last. You may purchase the entire collection, or purchase individual items. When you purchase the stamp set and dies together as a bundle or as part of the collection, you save 10% on those two products.
Here is a look at the stamp set and the dies.
BUTTERFLY BRILLIANCE STAMP SET
BRILLIANT WINGS DIES
The stamp set is one large stamp, basically a background stamp. Below is how the image appears when stamped. I stamped the image using my Stamparatus and Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White cardstock.
I colored the images with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers.
As you can see the large die fits perfectly over the stamped images for perfectly die cut butterflies!
The large die also coordinates with one of the designs of the DSP!
Now let’s take a look at some of the cards I created using the stamp set, dies, and DSP.
I really like this piece of DSP, and decided to let it do the work on this card. I stamped the “happy birthday” directly on the DSP. (TIMELESS TULIP current annual catalog). Next I matted the focal layer on Basic White, and adhered the piece to a Just Jade card base. How easy is that?
These two card are easy as well! I placed the card base in my Stamperatus and stamped the background. Both card bases are Pool Party. The first is stamped with Bermuda Bay ink; the second with Coastal Cabana. I die cut the circle and the scalloped square from Basic White cardstock, and stamped the “thank you” three times. The greeting is from the SPECIAL SOMEONE stamp set (current annual catalog). So easy!
This piece of HYDRANGEA HILL DSP (current mini catalog) had been sitting on the corner of my desk for a few days. I put it on a Purple Posey card base, stamped the “happy birthday” (SPECIAL SOMEONE - current annual catalog), then added a die cut butterfly from the BUTTERFLY BIJOU DSP. Again, very easy, but very pretty.
The butterfly on this card was stamped and die cut. It was colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers. The card base is Calypso Coral. The DSP is from the BUTTERFLY BIJOU DSP. The greeting is from the HAPPY THOUGHTS stamp set (mini catalog), and is stamped using Calypso Coral ink on a Petal Pink circle that was die cut using the STITCHED SHAPES DIES (Current Annual Catalog). I added few rhinestones I colored with the Stampin’ Blends Calypso Coral -dark.
This card features more of the BUTTERFLY BIJOU DSP paired with a So Saffron card base. The detailed butterflies were die cut from So Saffron and Calypso Coral cardstock. The sentiment is from the HAPPY THOUGHTS stamp set (mini catalog).
This basic Z Fold card features a Bermuda Bay and HighlNd Heather color combo. I die cut butterflies from Highland Heather cardstock using the large die. Next I die cut the detailed butterflies from Bermuda Bay cardstock, and adhered them to the solid Highland Heather butterflies. The sentiments are from the HEY BIRTHDAY CHICK stamp set (mini catalog).
This is an interlocking card. The Just Jade card base is 4 1/4” x 11” scored and folded at 2 3/4” and 8 1/4”. The DSP is from BUTTERFLY BIJOU DSP. Two of the detailed butterfly die cuts were added as embellishments. The sentiments are from SPECIAL SOMEONE and the HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS stamp sets (current annual catalog).

Butterfly Bouquet products include an early release bundle called Butterfly Brillance from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2021-22 Annual Catalog. Also included in the products are two exclusive paper choices. Let’s take a look at these new products!
These cards were created using Butterfly Bouquet products; butterfly stamps, dies, DSP and Specialty DSP.

The Brilliant Wings Dies set contains 12 dies. One large dye that cuts out the stamped butterflies, two silhouette butterfly dies, six intricate butterfly dies, and three element dies. The dies and stamp set may be purchased separately, or together as a bundle
Here is a peek at the at the Butterfly Bijou designer papers and the Natural Touch Specialty Paper. The DSP is 6” x 6” and features butterfly prints on one side and watercolor and small print designs on the other. The Natural Touch Specialty Paper comes in a package of two 12” x 12” sheets. The paper has a textured wood grain design. The reverse side of the paper is a neutral pattern. The papers will be available 2 March - 3 May 2021 only.
The Butterfly Brilliance stamp set and the Brilliant Wings Dies, will be available beginning 2 March as early release products from the Stampin’ Up! 2021- 22 Annual Catalog, and will be available through the duration of that catalog.
For this card I stamped the butterflies, die cut them, and chose one for the card. I added some color to the butterfly with Stampin’ Blends Markers. The colorful panel is one of the designs from the Butterfly Bijou DSP. The sentiment panel is cut from the Natural Touch Specialty Paper. Each panel is mounted on Basic Black cardstock, and it is all adhered to a Magenta Madness card base. I curled the butterfly’s wings a bit and used dimensionals to pop it up on the card. I added three Champange Rhinestones (current annual catalog).
This card was made using a Calypso Coral card base, with a strip of the DSP matted on a piece of Petal Pink cardstock. I used one of the intricate butterfly dies and the Natural Touch Specialty Paper. The greeting is from the Happy Thoughts stamp set (current mini catalog), and is stamped with Calypso Coral ink. I added three Elegant Faceted Gems (annual catalog).
The butterflies on one of the DSP designs can be die cut using the large butterfly die. The butterfly on this card was die cut from the DSP. It is attached with dimensionals to another of the DSP designs, which is adhered to a Coastal Cabana mat on a Bermuda Bay card base. I added three Opal Rounds (current mini catalog).
Here is another card made using a butterfly die cut from the DSP. The strip of DSP is mounted on a piece of So Saffron cardstock which I dis some paper tearing on the edges. The card base is Misty Moonlight.
As you can see, this card features no butterflies. It does feature a piece of the Natural Touch Specialty Paper. I added texture to the paper with one of the element dies included in the Brilliant Wings Dies. I darkened the Specialty Paper by adding Early Espresso ink with a blending brush. The sentiment is from Happy Thoughts (current mini catalog) and is stamped on an image from the Rooted In Nature stamp set (annual catalog). The background paper is from the In Good Taste DSP. The wooden leaf elements are from the In Good Taste Elements (annual catalog). I added a bit of Basic Gray twine (current mini catalog). Everything is mounted on a Crumb Cake card base.
Here is another look at all the cards.
