It's true that we usually associate butterflies, dragonflies, ladybugs, and fairies with brilliant colours, but that hasn't stood in the way of creative brides and crafters!
When it comes to creating a distinctive look, black and white never goes out of style. Alone, or in combination with silver, gold, translucent, or accent colours, a black and white theme can be anything from avant garde to traditional.
And what about an all-black theme? Perhaps butterflies instead of bats, for all those fans looking forward to the next "Twilight" film?

This weekend I visited an elderly relative, a lady of 87 years who has always found joy in family, nature, and crafts. So it was an obvious choice to take along some of my collection of 3D butterflies for her. She always has a decorative or seasonal wreath on the door of her suite, and I thought she might like to make one with a butterfly theme for Spring!
Of course we're used to brides and scrapbookers being delighted with their butterflies, and it was such a pleasure to see how thrilled this lady from another generation was with hers too. She had folded a few while we chatted, and I wouldn't be surprised if she'll be ordering more in her favourite Springtime colours very soon.

I have a mental picture of the post office arriving with a big, square, white box that's moving a little as all the butterflies inside shift around trying to get out and into your hands. Of course that's a Disneyish image, and nothing like the reality of how CCC 3D butterflies, dragonflies, fairies and ladybugs really arrive at your door.
In fact, your order arrives flat, for some very good reasons:
- To keep shipping charges down - butterflies are light, and keeping their physical size down too helps you save on postage.
- For 3D flexibility - brides, for example, sometimes like to vary how much dimension they see in the butterflies on their cakes and decorations, ranging from flat to having their wings raised high. You choose, based on how you fold them!
- Different uses need different looks - scrapbookers and cardmakers usually want their butterflies to be flat, while customers for home-decor critters often like a little more dimension. You fold them, so it's totally your choice!
Whether you select one of the standard range, or yours is a custom order, it will be designed, made, selected, packaged and shipped to deliver the best we can, right to your door.

We are working so hard to get our new Vinyl Butterfly range read to launch. Here is a sneak prevriew of our sexy little 3D Filagree style Butterflies and an inspirational idea to use them for.
We will have different styles and sizes in these and they are absolutely stunning for wall art and decoration, as well as wedding accessories.
I am trying to embed a video here so you can see the making of this artwork. I will work on that so look back here soon.
