Making the Pop up Butterfly

To Create the POP UP Butterfly





Cut out 2 butterfly wings using the Butterfly die

This is using the 1/2 butterfly die.
Be sure to cut the tab. (approx 1/2-3/4")










This is what you should have. (2 wings)













Score at 1/4" and then mark 1/4"
What you will be doing is cutting at 1/2" (the second 1/4" mark) and only cut 1/2 way. One side will be from the top, the other from the bottom







Be sure that you have them cut 1/2 way











These 2 pieces are now going to be interlocked together.









The 2 wings interlocked. The tab at the end is the one that gets attached to the card

Have fun!

The New Mini Catalog is here!

I know that there has been a lot of discussion on other blogs, facebook and other electronic media on Stampin' Up! I have been a demo since 1995. There have been so many changes over the years with Stampin' Up! since I started back then.

I signed the New Demonstrator Agreement...and I will tell you why.

For the most part, I use Stampin' Up! strictly because I love the products. Do I wish they had EVERYTHING or MORE things? Sometimes, but sometimes, the phrase "More, is just...MORE".

We can't have everything, but the beauty is, that we have access to a lot of things with the advance of the Internet! That's a great way to shop! The New IDA has guidelines for the Internet, and they MAKE SENSE! Now, Stampin' Up! isn't telling demonstrators that they can't use products from other companies. They aren't telling demonstrators that they can't design for other companies. They are just telling us that we can't refer demonstrators to other companies. Doesn't that make sense?

So, I can't send you a link to another company like Michaels, or Nestabilities or something like that to get you to shop there. But, you're smart, you can figure out that you can shop there yourself.

There are people who react immediately to announcements without thinking things through. BUT when you look at what the underlying reasons are for making the announcements, then you understand that they had to make descisions for this. Can they change it? OF course they can change it! In fact, they already have changed it to soften it up and to clear up any miscommunications....

So, don't fret about stuff we can't control. Changes are good, for the most part, and this won't affect my blogging at all....I hope it won't affect your visits to my blog as well...

I just want you to know that i will be trying to follow their guidelines as closely as possible, and if I mess up, I hope you won't turn me into the Stampin' Up! Police....not that they will be looking at my blog that closely.

I did ask them about past postings where I linked you with other companies, and they said that it was fine, that they don't expect us to go back through the archives to fix them so that they will be in compliance.

Thank you for visiting my blog!
