I posted this project on Bridal Buzz back in May of 2010, but wanted to bring it over to the archives on snip & scribble as well. It’s a quick little project that oozes with interesting colors, shapes and typography.
After my last baby shower I had a stack of beautiful cards that I just couldn’t part with. I’m not really one to scrapbook every last piece of memorabilia during these life-changing times (kudos if you are), but I did want to save something. I ended up using the Martha Stewart small butterfly punch and punching out the most colorful and interesting pieces of each card from my showers. Then I lined them all up on a piece of cardstock (cut to the size of my frame), and glued each one down, folding the wings up as I went.
I think it turned out pretty cute, but beyond that, it’s meaningful.
Tip: Use a frame that has a bit of room between the glass and the back panel, you don’t want your butterflies to be squished! This frame is from the Pottery Barn outlet, and has about a quarter-inch of room to breathe. Or, if you’re in a pinch, just take the glass out altogether!
