We have a treat for you today, as we debut one of our newest products at American Crafts: Flutterbys!
Garlands are everywhere these days, from wedding receptions to scrapbooking layouts. We love their versatility, so here at American Crafts we’ve created a new product to make adding that festive touch oh-so-easy. Introducing Flutterbys — pre-made, paper mini-garlands in six fantastic designs!
From birthday parties to baby showers to the simple, everyday events, these little beauties are perfect for cards, scrapbooking, parties and home décor. They come in flat 12x12-inch sheets, and all you have to do is pull the loose string and listen as each piece releases from the page. Pop. Pop. Pop. (Ah, the satisfaction of paper crafting!)
What do you think? How would you use Flutterbys in your crafting, celebrating and decorating? Let us know by commenting on this post by Friday at midnight (MST) and we'll pick a winner to win one of each of the new Flutterbys!
Awesome idea!!! Can't wait to get some!!

Seeing them in a spiral like that makes me think of flowers, but I think they could be really versatile! Lined up on cardstock instead of patterned paper, as borders, etc.
