3D Paper Butterfly Punch Art

Update 3.7.13: DIY directions with free templates now available at http://www.mindileatham.com/diy-crafts-paper-butterfly-punch-art/!

I have so many sweet nieces and girly little friends and they all have such pretty, colorful bedrooms! Over the last year I’ve made a lot of 3D paper butterfly punch art pieces in different rainbow combinations for their birthday gifts. These are so fun and easy to do! I’ll be adding directions to the DIY section of my site soon but in the meantime here are some of the wonderful photos Brittney Williams was kind enough to take for me of this 21″ x 27″ piece…

My Cut Paper Chocolate Frog at Gallery Nucleus

So I’m sure it comes as no surprise to anyone that I’m huge Harry Potter fan! Really excited that my submission of my 3D cut paper Chocolate Frog was posted on the Gallery Nucleus HP blog yesterday. The Harry Potter Tribute Exhibition is in Alhambra, CA from July 9, 2011 – August 1, 2011…should be lots of fun! I am loving all the creative work on the blog, check it out here and leave a comment!

Meet Me At The Craft Fair!

Come see me at The Grove Craft Fair this Saturday, April 25 from 9 am to 12 noon. (Address:

20105 S Gilbert Road Chandler, AZ 85286) There will be approximately 50 vendors selling everything from clothing to baked goods and free activities for kids (including a bounce!) I’ve been promised a rare, shady spot in the courtyard so I should be easy to find.

Here’s a taste of some of the goodies you’ll find at my table: framed cut paper art works by yours truly, one of my sister’s beautifully sewn tote bags and my other sister Brooke’s adorable hair accessories.

Hope to see you there!
