MC Jan/12 - Flower Pots - The Butterfly

I have gotten a whole bunch of new toys this past week or so, and you know me - gotta play with them BIG GRIN.

So in this batch of toys I have the Spellbinders Flower Pot dies - I've wanted them since they came out, but kept saying "why do I need them, they are such a basic shape, I could cut them out with my electronic cutter.." - But then a deal came along and now their in my arsenal... I also got the Blossom Three set which I used for the quote on shrink plastic. I also got Cheery Lynn's "a Pair of Ferns" gorgeous dies - love that I can cut 2 at the same time (the reverse of each other). Then I got the Hero Arts "Blossom Art" clear stamp set (there are 3 flowers in it that are gorgeous...) And finally the Butterfly quote and flourish from Quietfire Design - stay tuned for a BLOG HOP, using these new butterfly stamps, that's coming next weekend I think.

And I'm using the origami type butterfly that I found instructions for HERE (http://www.papercraftcentral.com/paper-butterfly.html) 

Anyway, to see more details and descriptions, just click on card image and enjoy.
