Tiny Five Petal Filler Flower

I hope everyone's new year is starting off good! My family and I have been battling the Flu for the last couple of weeks. I'm just now starting to get my voice back. In between the kids being sick I manage to do a fun flower tutorial that "everyone" can do! These are great flowers to add  to any project that you are working on. 

What you will need:

-Small five petal punch

(I used my daughter's American Girl punch) 

-Cardstock (at least 65lb. weight) 

-Chalk 

-Stamens

-Needle

-5mm stylus 

-Mold mat 

-Glue

Punch out several little flowers

Take your chalk and shade a small area in the center.

After you finish shading the centers of the flowers, you will need to cup them up a bit. 

Place them on the mat, make sure you have the side that you shaded facing up.

Then apply a small amount of pressure while embossing the center. 

You will need to make a hole in the center to run your stamen through. I used a small needle. Please keep in mind not to make your hole too big, your stamen will fall out if it's too large.

Apply a small bead of glue to the back of the stamen head to hold it in place. 

These are my favorite to make! These flowers are great for small and large projects! 

I used these below to dress up one of my small 2" x 2" envelopes. 

I hope you enjoyed this quick tutorial.

Enjoy,

Paper Flower Tutorial & Giveaway!

Thought I would share with you all a cute little project I made yesterday. Using my left overs from the layout I created the other day I quickly assembled this project. However I did have to cut a few petals out from the SVG file "Elegant Florals" from Scraptastical Kreations to create the lovely flower.

She has a couple of different collections of cut files that she has created for flowers. Be sure to check her out on facebook too!

Here is how I assembled my flower:

First you will need to cut out 3 large petals measuring 3" and one small petal that measures 2.5"

Then you will need to spray them with glimmer mist ( I used Tattered Angels "Rouge")

After you spray the petals, use your heat gun to dry them. When you are drying the petals, right before they get stiff take your fingers and create an accordion fold on each petal.

Once they are dry you will want to slightly pull on the edges of each petal to open the fold up a bit. Then take a skewer and curl your petals under on each set of flowers.

They should look like this after you are finished.

I use the Tulip Puffy Paint to create a snow like texture no each petal. A small line goes a long way. Please don't put too much on the petals or you will have a mountain of snow..LOL

After you are finished putting the puffy paint on, you will want to heat up the paint with a heat gun. This will cause the paint to "puff" up. 

After every thing is dried you will assemble the petals by laying each one inside of the other. Start with your larger petals and don't forget to alternate them so they will not lay on top of one another.

Then embellish the middle with stamens, buttons, bling or a button.

Hope you enjoyed this super easy flower tutorial!
