Butterfly Catch-All

Happy Monday everyone!  Looks like our beautiful sunny weather here in Central Ohio decided to hide behind the rain and tornado watches.  That’s OK, hopefully my beautiful butterfly catch-all will bring little rays of sunshine!  ^__^

Now I know I didn’t use very Spring-y colors but just think of it as the warm, brown Earth waiting for the first shoots of color to bless us with.  The original opening was a heart but I loved this butterfly silhouette from Boss Kut Designs so much I decided to change it.  I just welded it over the heart.

The catch-all was cut in chipboard and another set of panels were cut for the top layer with patterned paper.  I used my deep cut blade to cut the chipboard twice.  To be honest, I probably didn’t need to cut it twice.  It looked cut through the first time.  And it cut like buttah!  Nice and smooth.  Now that I know my Gazzy will cut chipboard so easy, you will probably be seeing a lot more 3D projects.  ^__^

I wanted to dress it up a bit but adding a lot of bling would have been bad as it will be used a lot.  I was afraid jewels or pearls around the handle would come off with papers and such going in and out of it.  I did manage to get a few blue pearls on the florette.   I just love how it came out!  It just sets the butterfly off perfectly!  Of course, the brown butterfly is the left over chipboard.  Did you think I would waste that little beauty?!?

Well, that’s all I have for today!  Hope you enjoyed my project for today.  Please come back and see what else I have for you this week.  I appreciate your visit here today.  Have a great day and happy crafting!
