Thursdays Craft and Chat

Welcome to my first Thursday Craft and Chat.

Today I am going to be using two Martha Stewarts

Butterfly punches. I am using her single butterfly and 

the fabulous butterfly border. I truly love them and I 

hope that you find my explanation of these two punches helpful.

The single punch is fairly clear on how to use it, so I am going

to focus on the butterfly edge. This punch cuts out a strip of butterflies,

it does not just punch the edge of your card as you will see in the next set of photos.

As you can see this punch has wing that extend out with matching

designs on each side, so it make it easy to match up your pattern

so that it comes out perfect each time.

Here you can see the process of cutting out the strip and how it totally

cuts it away from the paper. On the wing  of each side you match the cut

strip with the smaller butterfly like I have done here to get that next cut.

And here are the finished products. These punches are so precise that if you

follow the design you will get a perfect cut everytime.  So now it is time

for the finished product, my card,

I hope this has been helpful. I love the effect that these punches can offer
