Making Paper Flowers

Hi everyone,

Here's a nice and pretty tutorial from Conni... she's a paper crafter from Switzerland and does some amazing cards, among other things ;-) So make sure to visit her -->blog<-- for more inspiration!

Now, for her tutorial: Flowers Adorn...

First, I stamp a few flowers (eg Stampendous / Q131 Ruffled Blcom)

on thicker paper (it comes with already augestanzten flowers)

then treated with a stamped VersaMark

then sprinkle embossing powder

then heat emboss (I have no Hot Gun, so I used a toaster tuts)

It should look something like this:

Now, with a flower punch

Punch!

Then distress the edges

Using a mat and a stylus, turn the flower backside and press

Ready!

Making Scalloped Borders

Since scalloped borders are so "IN" right now, I decided to share this quick and easy technique to make scalloped borders. I learned this trick from Kwerner's blog, and what I like about it the most is the fact that, no matter how big or small your project can be, you will ALWAYS end up with gorgeous and perfect scallops. Nestabilities and scalloped punches are also great tools, BUT they can limit you to a specific size... with this technique you won't!



Now for the tutorial:


Materials list:

- Circle punch (depending on how big your project is, use the small, medium or jumbo size punch) (for this project I used the small punch)
- Cardstock
- Adhesive

Instructions:


1) Using your circle punch and cardstock, punch holes in your cardstock. While you punch the holes, align them one next to the other bordering your project so you can have an idea of how many holes you should punch.


2) Once you're finished punching, add glue to the back of your project, BUT just around the border.



3) Adhere your punched circles to your project, aligning them one next to the other.


4) And YOU'RE DONE! A perfect scalloped border...

Here's the finished project:
