I have seen tons of pre-made paper butterflies at Michaels (way overpriced). I have punches , stamps and brads and will definitely be making some cool 3d stuff when I do my “Happy Spring” cards for friends and family! Thanks for the idea 🙂
These crafts are absolutely beautiful, especially the quilled bird. It would be easy to transfer onto a card or decoration as well!
