Have you noticed all the beautiful art and craft around that features pretty paper butterflies? You don't need to be a brilliant artist to create your own - there are many free butterfly templates available on the internet. If you have a pair of scissors or a craft knife, some card and paper then you can begin to make your beautiful paper butterflies. Even quicker would be to use a large butterfly punch - you'll have a swarm of paper butterflies before you know it! We found this extra large butterfly punch on Amazon, but if you google there are loads to choose from - 'Butterfly Punch Search'
Take a look at these beautiful creations featuring paper butterflies for inspiration!

This is a great idea for party decorations via 'Real parties', simply attach a little coloured ribbon and hang your butterflies!
Vintage Page designs has used butterflies, cut from pretty patterned paper to decorate simple handmade cards - she's added beautiful details with pearls and gems - they look fantastic. This would work equally well for a bright card using colourful cardstock.
Nancy at Goshery created these beautiful handmade cards, adding a butterfly as a little 3 dimensional detail.
