Ultimate Twinchies - Surprise!!! 500 Butterflies

Before you even get to see my post, I want you to know that I hand-cut each one of these 500 butterflies. THEN Stampin' Up comes out with a butterfly punch!!!! UGH! LOL

I have witnessess that I hand-cut all of these butterflies! :)


Follow this LINK to join our swap!!! Our moderator needs people to fill slots for our swap!








This is my second set of Twinchies... the surprise set... so as you can see, I posted this on July 2nd, but you are not able to see it until the surprise has been sprung!!!


The butterflies are stamped with Brilliance Ink - so they shimmer: Pearlescent Orchid, Pearlescent Purple, Pearlescent Lavender, and Pearlescent Sky Blue. They are then stamped with Close to Cocoa Stampin' Up ink.


I cut the white cardstock at 1 1/2 inches, and used the corresponding ink to color the edges.


For this swap, we were to make 500 twinchies - so I made 125 of each of the 4 colors. Each member of the swap will get a baggie of the four colors in variations of 3 of one color, 3 of the second color, 2 of the third color, and 2 of the fourth color.


I hope you enjoy them! Now I miss having something to cut in the evenings while I'm watching TV!
