These are simple embellishments I like to make up in bunches and keep on hand
And it’s a good way to use up small scraps or ugly papers
Select some scraps. Here I have a half finished masterboard that was turning out ugly and some book pages.
Then punch out a bunch of butterfly shapes
Stack several together. Depending on mood and the thickness of the paper I probably stack anywhere from 3-10 pieces together.
And staple in the middle
And that’s it! Butterfly embellishments.
I also do this with hearts. And all kinds of papers.
And here is one in use on an ATC

What a cute idea! I love how the staples look like bodies!
Also, I really like that masterboard. I like that mustard yellow with the black and teal you added.

Very pretty, even the “ugly” ones! May I ask what punch you use for them?
For most of them I used Recollections 1 3/4” butterfly punch
A few of them have smaller butterfly’s using a fiskars punch

Mmm… I love those Fiskars punches. They’re so easy to use. Thanks for letting me know! I think I’m going to try this out.
My local Michaels has that Recollections punch and it’s on sale!
