Butterflies are everywhere

Posted by Jen Cramer

As part of the new Creative Cafe dies to coordinate with the Creative Cafe line from Creative Imaginations, Danelle Johnson designed three butterfly dies that have a total of SIX butterflies on them. The best part is that they all layer perfectly on top of each other.

Here you can see two of the dies -- Butterfly #8 and Butterfly #9 -- using the Creative Cafe Spirit line.

Here are two more Creative Cafe projects using the three butterfly dies:

We also made some projects with other lines. You can see at least 10 butterfly projects here, including these. This one was a very popular Convertibles album at CHA. Love that scalloped insert that makes the hole in the middle of the album.

And Butterfly #8, which has three layering butterflies, is such a versatile die for making embellishments for anything... pages, cards and a mini butterfly bag like this one.

I hope you love the butterflies as much as we do! I saw lots of new papers at CHA that used butterflies on them so I think they are definitely going to be a must have going into spring and summer.

Check out this video from CHA that Kristi Sikora-Blankenship shot at the Hampton Art and AccuCut booths. She cracks me up! Plus you get to see lots of projects using Creative Cafe dies.

We're headed to CHA!

Packing for a show is a TON of work and our team does a great job pulling it all together. Here's Tammy, our trade show manager, trying to find a spot for one more box. 

California, here we come!

And I thought I would share the Creative Cafe make and take we're having at CHA. Stop by our booth Sunday, Feb. 10, from 1-3 p.m. to make your own butterfly pin out of Spirit chipboard, paper and ric rac. It's so quick and easy and you can replicate it in your store. It uses two butterly dies: Butterfly #8 and Butterfly #9, which are part of our new Creative Cafe dies. Make sure you stop by!

New Creative Cafe dies

At the CHA Summer show last July, AccuCut rolled out new dies as part of the Creative Cafe launch. It's been a lot of fun working with Danelle Johnson and Creative Imaginations to see how retailers could use our products together as part of an entire program. I love seeing the amazing projects that Danelle's team creates -- their creativity is through the roof plus I just love the Spirit and Lucky lines!

Head over to Danelle's blog to hear how much she loves the new Creative Cafe dies (and her AccuCut system of course). For our latest release, Danelle has created nine new dies plus an Apricot alphabet! I know the butterflies are my favorites too.
