Good Sunday morning. Do you notice anything new about my blog? I love the change! How about you? I thought it would be fun to make a homemade paper flower project using die cut flowers and a decorative die cut background for my first post. I loved using my favorite red, green and white color combinations for my holiday cards but switching to my other favorite combination using purple, green and white is a welcome change. I love to use this color combination for making spring and summer handmade paper flowers with die cuts. My project was made using the Spellbinders Annabelle’s Trousseau Layering Frame, Succulent and Mum Flower and Foliage sets.
I started by cutting the flowers, foliage and decorative background pieces using my Big Shot. I attached the decorative background to the card base using thin strips of mounting tape. I used a few lightly placed dots of Crafter’s Pick Ultimate Glue to the back of the oval layer and attached to the white layer.
I used the larger and smaller stylus tips from my Garden Tool Kit and molding pad to form my flowers and attached the flower layers together using glossy accents. I gently formed the leaves with my fingers to add a natural appearance. I attached two of the full leaf sections to the base using glossy accents and then attached the larger flower and two smaller flowers in place with glossy accents. I cut a third leaf section apart and tucked it in behind the top of the larger flower to fill in to complete the arrangement. I created white flower centers for the flowers using Tonic Nuvo White Gloss Crystal Drops. To finish the project I applied several drops on a small piece of a Craft Sheet, allowed them to totally dry and then secured them in the flower centers with glossy accents.
Thank you for coming by today and for all the wonderful support you have given my blog posts this year. I am looking forward to making lots of fun projects in the coming new year. I hope each of you have a Happy and Health New Year.
