Butterfly

So you know i am a bit obsessed with butterflies...you missed that??? lol!!!!

I have had a lot of people asking in the comments section and via email the last few weeks where all the butterfly templates come from... so i thought i would do a post showing you and hopefully linking you to them...i am only linking to the UK as i know the shop that i am linking to.If you know and have bought the following in another country let me know and i will link them.

the big one that i use is this one...

It is from Jenni Bowling...it actually comes with these...

and a house hape as well ( couldnt find that one) you can find it here UK

Next i have some chipboard ones...

First up the ones on the left are from Scenic ROute and you can find them here and the ones on the right are from Crafty Bitz are here.I know the ones at Papermaze are currently out of stock but i know Vanessa is putting in an order for some more soon, so i will let you know when they are back in stock.

I dont use any of these chipboard butterflies...i use them as templates to draw around on so that way i always have them...

Next are my punches...
The top three are from Martha Stewart...you can find them here the others i bought from different places...

These two...
the one on the left i traced round off the screen from the internet..type in butterfly outline in google images and you will find loads to trace...

the one on the righthand side is a Jenni Bowlin butterfly...you can find them here

I then have a little bag of punched out ones that i am saving and using sparingly...i really want this punch
but they are very hard to find and Vanessa at Papermaze is having trouble stocking them...so for now i borrowed someones and i have this...

to keep me going!!!

So there are not that many really are there??? anyway if you would like a template of all of these to use to draw round...leave a comment here and i will pick someone or a few people to send them too...depending on how many comments there are!!!

that is a very generous offer Wendy thanks. The templates would be useful as I have discovered that I can't draw butterflies! If it helps, I have the 3 butterfly punch so if you want to swap some punchies at some time let me know!

Thats great - thankyou for the information.
I also love butterflies, so peaceful and tranquil.
I believe the punch you are after is in Hobby Craft at the moment, if you can't get it or you don't live local, the next time i am there i am more than happy to pick one up for you should they have any left. Drop me message if you like.

But i am a copier so i needed to know where you got the butterflies from - thanks for sharing - i'll do my best would LOVE some templates too that would be so helpful! vschnorr at zoomtown dot com. What a great idea to use chipboard as templates- i will have to remember that as i come across fun shapes!
