I used a Cuttlebug from Lincraft to cut the butterflies, but you could also use a punch. Try annascraftcupboard.com.au for a Martha Stewart butterfly punch.OohLookBelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11031489606743430354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259536473826194612.post-18806432344158214482010-01-24T09:46:55.711+11:002010-01-24T09:46:55.711+11:00Hi Belle - they look amazing.

Where did you buy the butterfly punch?foodwinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03892507286966412052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259536473826194612.post-28423471212883698622010-01-20T10:05:04.529+11:002010-01-20T10:05:04.529+11:00hi Ellie - the ones at Orson and Blake are lovely,...hi Ellie - the ones at Orson and Blake are lovely, aren't they? The paper they use are so pretty.<br /><br />hi John@heneedsfood - talk about pricey, I think the ones at O and B retail in the triple digits! A Cuttlebug is a little machine that is used to cut out (and emboss) cardstock. You put a metal stencil in and crank a handle and out it pops. Cuttlebugs are available from places like Lincraft, and they are so much fun!<br /><br />hi Maria - paper butterflies are definitely better than real ones. Though if you saw them close up, you'd realise how unlifelike my ones are!<br /><br />hi Rilsta - oh, how I'd like to be constantly creative! I get spurts of creativity then nothing for months on end...<br /><br />hi A cupcake or two - making stuff (or cooking) is such a great outlet after spending so much time at boring work. What types of things do you make? I'd love to see some!<br /><br />hi Conor - the main reason I finished these is because I needed the space in my cupboard where the frames were kept. Now only if I could do something with those 2 unpainted canvases in my living room...<br /><br />hi mlle delicieuse - those insects are sooo creepy, aren't they? And don't get me started on the spiders, erk!<br /><br />hi Betty the hungry girl - thanks, the only reason I have the crafty corner is cos there are already hooks on the wall. Very handy!<br /><br />hi Trissa - haha, I don't think I even finished the book. And the TV series of it wasn't any better.<br /><br />hi Helen - yes, they are quite quick to make, so would be ideal gifts. I've given other designs as gifts, too.<br /><br />hi Adrian - thanks!<br /><br />hi Ravenous Couple - thanks for visiting. I really like your blog, too.<br /><br />hi Agnes - the book butterflies are great. A little bit different, I think.<br /><br />hi Lorraine - I can imagine your wedding would have been beautiful. Feather butterflies sound rather unusual!<br /><br />hi BB - thank you!<br /><br />hi Betty - you could also use a butterfly punch. Martha Stewart makes several good ones. Good luck!<br /><br />hi Phuoc - hope you give them a try. And let me know how it goes!OohLookBelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11031489606743430354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259536473826194612.post-66917246788201805502010-01-18T14:28:00.907+11:002010-01-18T14:28:00.907+11:00OMG they are so beautiful!
