BUTTERFLY KISSES SHAKER TAGS | with Conny

Hello crafty friends! It’s Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity sharing these sweet shaker tags using the Butterfly Kisses collection. These tags came together fairly quickly and are one of my favorite little projects to create because they can be added to mini albums, pockets, scrapbook pages, or even gifted to someone special.

To start, I cut patterned paper from the 6x8 paper pad to 2” x 8” and trimmed heavy clear acetate to the same size. Using my sewing machine, I stitched around both long sides and the bottom edge, leaving the top open to create the shaker pocket.

For the shaker mix, I combined shakers from Garden Party and Butterfly Kisses blends, along with mint, cupcake and lily white shaker balls.  I also added bright pink sequins to create a fun, colorful mix. Once filled, I stitched the top closed by sewing forward, backward, and forward again for extra security.

I added teal eyelets from my stash at the top center of each tag underneath the stitching so the tags would stay secure without pulling the stitching apart. Then I finished them with bright yellow ribbon bows for an extra pop of color.

To embellish the tags, I layered pieces from the Odds & Ends, Chit Chat, Bits & Pieces, and Doodle Pops. I especially love the adorable frogs and butterflies because they add so much dimension and personality to the tags. I also stapled word strips like “Choose Happy,” “Love These Memories,” and “Always Smiling” to add little sentiments throughout the project.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope these tags inspire you to create something colorful and fun with your Butterfly Kisses supplies. XO

BUTTERFLY KISSES WALLET STYLE MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Hello everyone! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a beautiful wallet shaped mini album for spring photos. It's filled with fun little flaps, fold-outs, pockets, and the super cute Butterfly Kisses Collection. It would be perfect for pictures of spring, family, and friends, AND ... it would make a wonderful gift idea!

The wallet design is one of Lori Whitlock's cutting files called Wallet Mini Album (link below). I used lily white card stock for the base and covered the different sections in pretty pattern papers from the 6x8 paper pad.

On the cover, I used the stripe print called Rainbow's End and a pretty floral paper called Garden Party. I punched the 3" scalloped circle out of lily white and the 2.5" circle out of the Color-fetti polka dot. Then, I added the adorable Ladybug Garden Doodle-pops on top. That little pink ladybug is precious! Next, I added the title (also from the Color-fetti print), then glued tiny flat magnets underneath to secure the flap.

Here's what the wallet looks like opened up. It's unfolds into 3 sections. On the top section, I added the "Love You" die cut from the Chit Chat and 2 beautiful butterflies from the Odds & Ends. Then, a few enamel hearts from the Hearts A-Flutter shape sprinkles! 💕

The center section has two tri-folds that open to the left and the right. I covered both in the bubblegum floral paper called Butterfly Kisses, then added a white mat on top. I decorated with lots of cute die cuts from the Odds & Ends and a few enamel Butterfly Kisses shaped sprinkles. 

When you open those, each one has 6 little sections (3 on the front and 3 on the back). I covered them in pretty patterns and added some sweet 3x4 cards. Isn't that flower cart adorable?!

In the center, there's a 4x6 inch section where I added the "Love this" journaling card. It's a perfect spot to document notes, a cute story, dates, an event, etc.

On the right, the "bugs and kisses" card is from the 6x8 paper pad. Love it, the pretty flowers, and this cute collection so much! 

The bottom section has 2 little pockets that I tucked some adorable Odds & Ends die cut pieces into. You could add journaling notes to the back side of these, or ... use the pockets for small photos or memorabilia. 

I love the way this wallet shaped mini album looks with the cute Butterfly Kisses Collection! I also made one with the Berry Sweet Collection and the Hey Pumpkin Collection. Be sure to check those out for more ideas.

I hope this project inspires you to make something beautiful with the Butterfly Kisses Collection. Its pretty flowers, rainbow of colors, butterflies, and cute embellishments are ahh-mazing! 😊
