Punches with a difference – 5 Petal Flower = Flutterby

As promised, here is a fantastic idea to get more out of your punches! This technique turns the 5 Petal Flower punch into a Flutterby!

Step 1: Gather your tools together! You will need the 5 Petal Flower punch, some Paper Snips and some Paper or Vellum.

Step 2: Punch out a flower using the punch. It is easiest to use the punch upside down so you can see the paper you are punching.

Step 3: Using the Paper Snips, cut off one of the petals. Follow the line of the petals with your cut so it is in a v shape.

Step 4 : Now you have a Flutterby! They are great layered with the Butterfly Punch from the Summer Mini Catalogue – here is a finished example using Vellum and cardstock. You can stamp the vellum for added effect.

Mini Glue dots are great to attach the 2 layers of flutterby’s together and you can also use bead wire with seed beads to add some “bling” to the body of the flutterby.

What I used:

• Stamp Sets: None
• Card: Regal Rose, White Vellum
• Ink: None
• Other: Paper Snips, Butterfly Punch, 5 Petal Flower Punch, Mini Glue Dots
• Non Stampin’ Up!: Bead Wire, Seed Beads, wire cutters

Until next time – happy Flutterby Creating!
