Paper Flowers!

I had a workshop this weekend and showed three different ideas for paper flowers. The first two came straight out of the demo magazine! If you want a FREE magazine sent to your house every month, full of ideas, during Sale-A-Bration is the best time to start your own Stampin' Up! business!

So, I demo'd these first two cards...

On the Celery one, I printed off some of the Define Your Life images off the My Digital Studio and then punched them out with the scallop circle punch! The bottom layer lays flat, and the top layer was snipped around the edges and folded upward a little. Then, you can have a button in so many more colors (black!) just by printing it off the MDS!

The second card was done by using three sizes of circle punches, snipping around the sides of all three, layering, and adding an actual button in the middle. I free-handed the leaves for this one. And the colors come from needing a shot of yellow and pink in the middle of this blaaah winter air we've been having! I thought it was nice!

And this was the Make & Take. The idea came (to me) from Becky's blog. And now you know three new ways to make a paper flower!
