This die is discontinued. I searched for it for a long time before I found someone who was selling it on ETSY.
There are lots of ways to stitch those butterflies. I threw out my first effort. There are still a couple of stitches I will do differently next time.

I did not use the rectangle die that comes with the set. It gives a very narrow border. I just die cut the pattern portion out of a 4 ¼ x 5 ½-inch card panel. That gave me something to hold onto while I stitched. After I finished stitching, I cut the panel down so the blue border would show around it. I like this better than what I did with the Stitched Swirly Leaves cards I posted previously.
