Butterflies Flutter By

Just wanted to share an easy and fun way to dress up a wall and create a little whimsy...these butterfly clusters we're all cut from a single sheet of paper, scored fold line on either side of the body and used my cricut bone folder to gently create a little curl on the butterfly wings. I used small balls of reusable adhesive putty that allows me to attach them and easily move them, too. I took two different simple butterfly silhouettes and fit about 13 butterflies on a sheet...so easy to change colors schemes or would be great on a gift box as well. Scut file in 12x12 format here!

Breast Cancer Symbol & People

A friend recently passed away after a long battle with cancer, so I have been playing with a few ideas related to breast cancer awareness...hope they can provide some inspiration and opportunities to support others in your life... files here.






Also some card ideas...

Paper Doll - Grown Up Version

 

 Okay, I refuse to grow up! Here's the same girl from the last post in the dimensional dress, except now we're playing dress up! With 2-sided papers the variations increase. I cut three girls and it's like having six! Here's some examples...the file is here if you want it. I did laminate the girls to preserve them with handling...could be fun to cut in plain paper and let girls draw and/or stamp their own designs, too.

     

Girl in dimensional dress

This is similar to a file in an earlier post, a silhouette based on a statue I have at home.

So, this one will be making an appearance as a dimensional piece. The two mirrored images can be glued together and the skirt pieces are folded in half, glued to each other with three sections glued together on each side. The pieces will all be facing up with the small part of the skirt sections to the top - I flipped the middle piece just to maximize cutting.

You could also do a single side and have her on the front of a card or put a small magnet on the back. The skirt flatten easily for mailing, too. I wanted to put different sayings on the skirts. Both sides have different sayings. I also lightly inked all the edges. Hope you can have some fun with it...I will be adding a paper doll variance on this file, too, in a later post. Happy cutting!
