Pink Saturday with a Punch!
Happy Pink Saturday! Today I am sharing a very simple craft project with you I made using a Butterfly Paper Craft Punch. Thanks Martha {Martha Stewart} for always coming up with different ones, I think I have them all! This Butterfly Paper Craft Punch is really pretty and great to use in so many different projects. As you all probably know, I make my own paper from recycled pulp as I have explained it here. And of course I always have “fresh” sheets to make stationery for any occasion. It’s great to receive handmade cards!
But this time I needed to make a nice envelope to place “a little something”…I chose a delicate sheet from my handmade paper stash with delicate touches of pink. It looks more like a watercolour but textured paper. Love it! I cut a small heart and glued it to resemble a seal but also wanted to add something else to it, a bright colour accent. My Butterfly Paper Craft Punch came to my mind, punched a few butterflies and added one to the small heart.
This bright pink butterfly definitely added a nice contrast of colours to the envelope. I have saved some punched butterflies for another project and also kept the scrapbooking paper that I punched. I will then use it as a stencil! I hope you enjoyed this easy project.
It is now time to head over to Beverly’s blog for more PINKNESS at “How Sweet the Sound”. Did you know that Pink Saturday turned a year already? Congratulations Beverly!
Have a wonderful weekend and thanks so much for visiting!

Gabriella, I never know what to expect when I come to your post, but I always love your presentations. The homemade paper is lovely always. My niece always makes it. She uses it for stationary too. Very pretty in pink.

Lovely post! Happy Pink Saturday!
Gabriela, you are our official crafting queen. This is beautiful, and I know the recipient will be thrilled to receive such a special mailing.
I also love the negative and positive use of the butterflies. They look so elegant all in their rows.
Thank you for being such a wonderful friend and loyal participant of Pink Saturday.
Gabriela, that paper is just gorgeous. One of these days I am going to try my hand at making some. I saw it done on Martha S. the other night. HPS ~ Lynn

how pretty! I love the different textures and shapes! Happy Pink Saturday ~ I hope you have a great weekend ~ Susan
I love making paper.
Your little note turned out great.
Happy Pink Saturday!
Lovely and so simple. I love the way the two textures contrast – the rough of the paper and the smooth regularity of the butterfly shape.
Have a great Pink Saturday!
Happy Pink Saturday Gabriela. I always look forward to visiting your blog and seeing what you’ve posted. Your pink butterfly punches are so cute and they really dress up that envelope!
Happy Pink Saturday.
I have missed all you girls and your wonderful pink ideas.
Enjoy the pink bliss today.

~*Happy Pink Saturday*~
With our little PINK SATURDAY having a birthday this week, I am on “pink overload” and that is difficult to do to me! I’m lovin’ it like crazy!
What lovely pinks this week you have, my dear. The better to see your through my rose colored glasses!☺
Have a great weekend. Not all that warm up in my neck of the woods but the sun is out and that makes the day good. I hope you are surrounded by those you love and that you, too, are bathed in sunshine.
Recycled paper have a very nice feel to it. And I like the fact that it’s not smooth and I can see bits and pieces of different colors of papers combined. The butterfly is a nice added touch as a seal. The punched paper look pretty too to save for another project. No waste at all
Happy PS

… I still want glitter secrets of the mighty!
Gabriella, I’m not sure if my other comment registered or not, but I wanted to be one of the first to wish you a very Happy Pink Saturday!
Lots of Pink Love…
