Flower making Tutorial x3

Hi all... I'm on a flower making fettish at the moment and decided to share it with you. ;)
Also a good way to use up your bits of scrap paper.
Some of these have been adapted from other Tutorials from the internet.

The First flower we will be making is....
Scallop punch flower.

1. Punch 3 Scallop Circles with the Fiskars XL Sealed with aproval Squeese punch

2. Cut at every second dip in the scallops (there will be a one bump left- but never mind that)

3. one spray of water onto each scallop circle

4. Squew up the flower carefully and then make it flat again

5. Quick dry the scallops with a heat gun.

*******See "Footnote" here for variations before going further******

6. Glue the layers ontop of each other

7. Put your chosen flower center in the flower

Top to bottom.... Flowersoft Heather, Kaisercraft rhinestones, Cloud9 raindot --- the centers are endless in what you can put there.

****foonote***
Before gluing the layers together try:
a. inking edges in darker ink pad such as Early Espresso ink pad by Stampin Up!

b. Gold or silver heat emboss the flower petals

Second Tutorial: Boarder Punch Flower Tutorial

The aboved flower is made with the Fiskars Grass boarder punch. Cool aye.
1. Punch the grass boarder punch

2. Cut the strip at 2cm mark on the fiskars SureCuts Trimmer

3. Punch out a circle with Fiskars L circle squeeze punch

4. Spritz the punched boarder with water

5. Squew up the boarder and then make it flatish again

6. Get out a good strong tape glue or a hot glue gun and use the circle as a base.
Start out in them middle working around till you finish the boarder strip.

I made sure the petals wher pointing up and not flat at first when I was working it.

7.  Trim the circle to the base of the flower, flatten out the flower with your fingers and add some Flowersoft or your choice of center and that flower is done!

Flower Tutorial number 3: Ultra Shape Express flower

1. This flower is done with the Ultrashape Express cutter and Cupcake template.

Cut three of the flowers out from the template

2. With a foam pad and a Fiskars embossing stylus mark out lines from the petals on the font side

3. With the larger ball of the embossing stylus on the back side of the flowers lightly shape between the embossed lines... then flip it back over to the front side and emboss the middle of the flowers...

4. Glue all the layers together as shown...

5. now add your choice of center and you are done!

 

.

Now no lot of new embellishments is any good without some packaging to help display your new goodies!
Get a cereal box and cut a piece from it to fit into a ziplock sandwich bag...

Now blue tack the flowers to the cardboard and put into the bag.

Now your new embellishments await your very command!
(I find pre-making and putting my embellishments in bags helps keep their shape and are easy to use straight away without having to make some extra thing when doing a layout/project or card etc)

Happy creating!

If you do a layout using this sketch we would love to see it.
