I have been wanting a butterfly punch for awhile but the ones I have seen are too small. My MIL has a die cut of larger sizes I like but that would require buying the entire die cut machine. So since I cannot rationalize spending all that money for one little butterfly, she punched some for me and I traced them into cardstock stencils. Silly you think? Well, I actually do it quite a bit…that big triangle? Often my banner template. Takes a little time but for how little I use some of these shapes, way more economical and helpful when making 2, 3, 10 cutouts. And if I am making a cutout by hand, it is great to have a stencil for later. So that I can do little projects like this… How do you cut out paper shapes?
