PURPLE BUBBLE WRAP FUN!!!

This is a fun story, this week, my husband got a bookcase in the mail that he ordered and he had to put it together. In normal husband fashion he put the empty boxes on the porch when he was finished (to go outside later). When I went out the back door to go to my day job I glanced at the packaging and noticed that it had beautiful purple bubble wrap, so I went back inside and told him if he was getting rid of the boxes today save the bubble wrap for me. (grin) you know how we save everything, (he is used to me saving "stuff") I didn't know what I was going to do with it but knew something was going to work. When I got home I went right to my Big Shot #113439 and pulled out the Beautiful Butterflies die #114507 and started cutting out butterflies. I also added some Old Olive Striped Ribbon #115618to a white candle and used a mini glue dot #103683 to attach the butterfly to the ribbon and also on the curly willow twigs in the vase. So what do you think. Send me a message below the post and the first three post to comment on these beautiful butterflies will get some in the mail. Thanks for looking. #1 #2 #3 #4

  3. Wow! Who would've ever thought? Purple bubble wrap! I love it! These "bubbly butterflies" are great! Cool idea! This could become a new past-time! I'd have thought the bubbles would've popped as they went through the Big Shot! I love your creativity!

  4. Oh Frances...thank you for saving "stuff" too. I am the same way and my husband just gave up trying to get me to throw it away. :0) I have never seen beautiful purple bubble wrap before and I think you are so clever to use it in your big shot!! You projects are adorable. The butterflies are so pretty and 3-D!!! Thanks for sharing your talent with us all!

  9. The butterflies are lovely "bubbled" and you are very clever to think about using the wrap in your BS. I have never seen purple bubble wrap, either, but I'm sure I would have saved it, too! Stampers and teachers save everything and I am both!

  11. Sandy, I did not even think of them popping till it went through the big shot and you could hear popping but not all of them and they still turned out pretty cute. Thanks for looking.
