Layered Butterflies

My Butterfly Favour Bag has been hugely popular recently and I've had several people ask if I have any other butterfly designs that could be added to the bag.

This is something that I'd considered doing when I designed the first one and so, as I loved doing it, I have designed three more!

The first one (that comes with the bag) is a likeness of a Small Tortoiseshell butterfly and the others are likenesses of a Peacock, a Monarch and a Speckled Wood butterfly.

I have the whole set of four butterflies available in my Etsy shop as SVG cut files as well PDFs if you prefer to cut out by hand.

They are so delightfully versatile and, as well as adding them to the favour bags, they can be used for all sorts of different papercraft projects.

Here I've used two of them on a greeting card. 

The butterflies are super easy to assemble (consisting of only two layers) and look amazing with the top layer cut out of mirror card.

I can't wait to see what you use them for! 🦋

Happy crafting

Mini Gold Favour Bags

Following on from when I introduced you to my butterfly favour bags, I have been experimenting with different sizes and have created these cute mini black and gold bags!

I used gold mirror card for the panels and, instead of using the butterfly, I embossed each of the panels with small polka dots. I kept the bows as an extra embellishment, despite the fact that they were so ridiculously tiny to make!

Butterfly Favour Bag

It's been a while since I designed a handbag template, and I needed a little bag to carry a few teacher gifts, so this is what I've been working on over the last couple of weeks.

A cute, butterfly favour bag that can be filled to the brim with sweets or small treats. It can also hold a gift card inside! As well as teacher gifts, this little bag is also perfect for Mother's Day, wedding favours, bridal showers, birthday parties and so much more!

Butterfly Altered Tin

This is my latest altered tin design, and I absolutely love it!

I chose to make the butterfly in the centre a vivid shade of blue to enhance the blue spots on the tin. The two butterflies on either side are slightly faded so that they don't distract from the one in the centre.

 I inked the edges of the spotty paper slightly to give it an aged, vinatge look...

and I continued with the same spotty paper inside the tin (no ink this time).

The little silver feet on the base of the tin are small beads, which complement the silver bottle cap on the lid.
