This is a fun story, this week, my husband got a bookcase in the mail that he ordered and he had to put it together. In normal husband fashion he put the empty boxes on the porch when he was finished (to go outside later). When I went out the back door to go to my day job I glanced at the packaging and noticed that it had beautiful purple bubble wrap, so I went back inside and told him if he was getting rid of the boxes today save the bubble wrap for me. (grin) you know how we save everything, (he is used to me saving "stuff") I didn't know what I was going to do with it but knew something was going to work. When I got home I went right to my Big Shot #113439 and pulled out the Beautiful Butterflies die #114507 and started cutting out butterflies. I also added some Old Olive Striped Ribbon #115618to a white candle and used a mini glue dot #103683 to attach the butterfly to the ribbon and also on the curly willow twigs in the vase. So what do you think. Send me a message below the post and the first three post to comment on these beautiful butterflies will get some in the mail.
Thanks for looking.

Cute, cute, cute!! TFS
ReplyDeleteWOW!! What a great idea. I have already gone through all my bubble wrap, but all of mine -- clear!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea! How lucky to find purple bubble wrap! Love those butterflies!
ReplyDeleteWow! Who would've ever thought? Purple bubble wrap! I love it! These "bubbly butterflies" are great! Cool idea! This could become a new past-time! I'd have thought the bubbles would've popped as they went through the Big Shot! I love your creativity!
ReplyDeleteOh Frances...thank you for saving "stuff" too. I am the same way and my husband just gave up trying to get me to throw it away. :0) I have never seen beautiful purple bubble wrap before and I think you are so clever to use it in your big shot!! You projects are adorable. The butterflies are so pretty and 3-D!!! Thanks for sharing your talent with us all!

What a clever idea, Frances. I am late getting up this morning so probably am not one of the first three but I sure would love some purple butterflies. Edie in Salisbury
ReplyDeleteGood morning Lorraine, drop you address to me in an email and those butterflies will be flying your way. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. From one stuff saver to another. :) Frances
ReplyDeleteI love those butterflies! I haven't used my butterfly die cut very much, and this should get me started. Thanks for a great idea!
ReplyDeleteOh lucky me!!! Poster number TWO!! Frances, you ALWAYS do amazing things and I am SO excited to have you share with me!! ~ Becky
ReplyDeleteThe butterflies are lovely "bubbled" and you are very clever to think about using the wrap in your BS. I have never seen purple bubble wrap, either, but I'm sure I would have saved it, too! Stampers and teachers save everything and I am both!
ReplyDeleteBecky, send me your address and those butterflies will be headed your way. Thanks for looking.
ReplyDeleteSandy, I did not even think of them popping till it went through the big shot and you could hear popping but not all of them and they still turned out pretty cute. Thanks for looking.
ReplyDeleteThanks for making a tutorial on this as well for Late Night Stamper boot camp. So proud of you. I am pleased to see your butterflies turn out so well. Love our Big Shots! Sherrill Graff istmpnv@aol.com
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sherrill, it was fun to do and after I posted on here, I decided to make a My Digital Studio tutorial. I will put that on line tonight. Thanks for looking.
ReplyDeleteIt also comes in Green, Blue, & Red, do a google search for it.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, who knew. Edie send me your address and I will mail you some butterflies since you went to the trouble of looking that up.
