Happy Saturday. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I made a pretty flower and foliage card today for the Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge. Many people have asked if I would do a tutorial on how I make my little punched flowers so I decided while I had all the supplies out that I may as well go ahead and do one. First, here is the card I made for the challenge.
Here’s a closer look.
Punched Flower Tutorial
Supply List
Flower Punches, 1/2” circle punch, 1/4” circle punch, Stylus, adhesive, paper piercer, paper piercing mat or mouse pad, embossed and crimped cardstock
Punch out pink and green flowers and circles. I embossed the pink and crimped the green to add texture.
Lay flower out on the mat and shape the flower using a stylus in a circular motion.
Lay circles on the mat and shape using a stylus in a circular motion. Press the head of the stylus down into the mat to crinkle the circle into a flower shape.
Assembly
Apply adhesive in the center of three of the four flowers.
Attach the first flower by picking up with piercer and laying it in the second flower. Turn the flower slightly so the petals are offset from the bottom layer. Continue layering until you have all four flowers and the two circle flower centers assembled.
Apply adhesive to the green flower and attach a little off set from the bottom pink layer so a tiny bit of the green shows when looking at it from the top.
Apply adhesive to the different shaped flower and attach to the bottom of the flower allowing two of the petals show out of one side of the flower and so the remaining petals are hidden.
The flower is finished.
Here are flowers made with and without embossing. They are both pretty. Here is a card that I made with the three flowers. I added a little punched pine.
Card Supplies: Sizzix Embossing Folder, Martha Stewart Pine Punch, Adhesive, Satin Ribbon, Stickles

These are so pretty! Thanks for the tutorial. I don’t have that SU punch so I hope it’s not retired. I have a bunch of flower punches, but don’t think I have one with six petals like that one. I do have the MS punches already so I’m almost there. LOL!
Kittie, thanks so much for sharing this! The flowers are beautiful and I just love the leaves, still searching for the MS punch; may break down now and go on line for it! Local stores do not have it, even local big box stores! It’s unfortunate living in such an un-crafty area.
Beautiful flowers and the card too! Thanks for the tutorial.
Great directions and the pictures help out alot,too. I love making my own flowers. I am going to give this one a try. Thanks for sharing. The card is gorgeous.
Thanks, your cards are beautiful. Love the embossing.
The cards are so precious! Love the colors, and your tutorial is fabulous!
