Coffee Filter Flowers and Butterflies by Jani

Yes, I know that winter is still hanging on,

but maybe if we think of Spring it will get here faster. LOL

Let's think of flowers and butterflies

and maybe they will come.

Let's ask our kids to join in too.

Here is a fun craft that any young child would love to do with you.

Coffee Filter Flowers and Butterflies

Here is Part 1 of the videos

Here is part 2

As you can see they are very easy.
Kids love it too. I have literally helped hundreds of kids make them when I was a teacher and they never got tired of them.

As an added bonus,

hop over to my blog to see how to make the coffee filter butterflies

a great educational activity.

Bo Bunny Primrose Cards by Jani

I am sure several of you ladies still have some papers left over from the

Bo Bunny Primrose collection.

If not, you may want to get some while supplies still last.

There are so many things you can do with this line.

Here are a few card examples.

 Yeah, I know, I got a little carried away with these cards but all the papers are so pretty. They were just begging to be played with. LOL

Let's take a closer look at how they came together.

Easy, right?

The next one is very similar.

I just added some handmade flowers made from 2 of the papers in the collection.

Great use for the labels.

I still had panels from the cut apart sheets and butterflies that I

"precision cut" as Carol would say. ;)

So, naturally I made more cards.

 

See how easily these papers lend themselves to cards?

So get out your papers or purchase the

12 by 12 Primrose paper pad

and get started.

Psst...if you are not a fan of "precision cutting",

no worries,

just snag a bag of the Noteworthy cut outs.

They did all the work for you.
