How to fold Origami Butterflies

May 6, 2015 by Francine Clouden

Follow this pictorial tutorial to make a whole swath of paper butterflies for decor or as page embellishments. The blog post is in German, but the photos are very clear. You can also try using Google Translate. Imagine how lovely these would be as a Mother’s Day corsage!

Did you know Butterflies are deep and powerful representations of life. Many cultures associate the butterfly with our souls. In China, it is used as a symbol of bliss and joy. White Butterflies are symbols of spiritual change and personal transformation.

Travel Tag Mini Scrapbook Album

Andrea used the Fun Times collection from Simple Stories to create this fabulous mini Travel Tag album. She even found a cute tiny plastic suitcase to fit it inside of, decorating the outside with a few chipboard elements and a scalloped border.

The album itself has different siezd and shaped pages, some rectangle, some tag shaped, some with scalloped edges but all stitched around the edges. It’s held together at the top with a metal “O” ring.

The pages have 3″ x 2 1/2″ photos that are accented with metal buttons, vintage cameras, floral and map papers, chipboard embellishments, tabs, labels and travel related designs in fun retro color combinations.

She’s even included some fun interactive pages too for a really cool tiny but mighty album design.

Learn more and check out the entire project over at the Simple Stories blog.
