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

Business Card Box

I recently updated my business card design to include my new website and some of my favourite 3D papercraft projects, and I'm so pleased with how it's turned out!

So, this got me thinking ... How can I safely store and present my lovely new set of 100 business cards, whilst keeping consistent with my brand?

And, of course, it had to be a handmade box!

This is how I made it ...

I started by measuring the set of cards and worked out that I needed a 20cm x 20cm piece of cardstock. I chose the lovely vintage mint green colour to match my brand (and my Cricut Explore 🥰). I then used my scoring board to score the lines shown below and drew the diagonal lines at the sides with a pencil.

I folded and burnished the score lines, then cut the tabs as shown below.

Next, I added some patterned paper panels to the front (measuring 8.5cm x 1.5 cm) and the two sides (measuring 4.5cm x 5cm with the diagonal lines at 1.5cm).

I then glued the two larger side tabs to the back.

Then glued the two smaller tabs to the front and folded the front over, gluing it in place for a neat finish.

I did the same with the back, folding it over and gluing it in place. This also gives the back extra strength.

I love how it looks, and I know that my business cards will now be safe and nicely presented for anyone who wishes to take one 🥰

Will you be giving this a try?

Happy crafting!
