I had fun teaching the Scrap Club members how to make these lovely flowers last night.\u00a0 I wish I could have video taped some of their reactions.\u00a0 It was quite funny!\u00a0 I thought I would go ahead a make a quick tutorial for all of you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Stampin' Up! Butterfly Punch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Start with the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Punch and some Whisper White cardstock.\u00a0 You are going to need two butterflies per flower.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Stampin' Write Marker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Choose two shades of Stampin’ Write Markers for your flower.\u00a0 Use the lighter shade marker to color both butterflies entirely.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Darker shade Stampin' Write Marker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Use the darker shade Stampin’ Write marker to color just the edges of the butterflies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Spritz with water<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Use a small spritz bottle to wet them with water.\u00a0 You want to get them fairly wet with 2-3 spritzes.\u00a0 The water will make the colors run a little hopefully taking away some of the marker lines and making the difference in shade a little less pronounced.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Crumple<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yes, you read that correctly, you need to crumple up the butterflies.\u00a0 (Between getting the butterflies wet and crumpling them up, I thought I was going to have mutiny on my hands in class last night!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Unfold<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Unfold the butterflies, being very careful as they are fragile in the middle.\u00a0 As you flatten them you don’t want to\u00a0 take out all of the wrinkles, leave some, we want the texture.\u00a0 You can let the butterflies dry at this point or proceed gently.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Paper Piercer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Use a paper piercer or 1\/16th inch circle punch to punch a hole in the center of each butterfly.\u00a0 Be gentle!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Vintage Brad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Use a brad to hold the butterflies together, each butterfly facing a different direction.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

That’s it!\u00a0 You have a beautiful flower!\u00a0 If the flower isn’t quite full enough for your needs of course you can add a couple extra butterflies.<\/p>\n

I have shared a couple different projects using these flowers.\u00a0 I made a handmade Mother’s Day card<\/a> as well as a two-page flowered scrapbook layout<\/a>.\u00a0 Be sure to check them out, leave a quick comment and then go make your own!<\/p>\n

No, I did not come up with this idea myself, I only wish I was so creative!\u00a0 To be truthful though, I’m not sure who should receive the credit.\u00a0 So, suffice it to say, I’m happy to share this lovely flower with you that someone else brilliantly came up with and shared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
