Paper Blossoms - 1st North Yorkshire meet Card

On November 1st I'm taking a craft class in North Yorkshire in the morning we will be doing a Christmas card with some interesting stamping techniques and in the afternoon I will be teaching some paper flowers from punches showing how to build them up and shape the petals and leaves. I thought this would be the perfect flower to start with making 4 to add to a card would help to develope their own technique of shaping.

Quick Card

You know how it is... sometimes you just need that quick card well thats just what this one is, I needed a card for someone who hates pink but loves flowers "eeek" no pressure there then.

So the saying goes "blue and green should never be seen unless there's something in between" does white and glitter count? lets hope so.

A simple background paper with a couple of matching die cut flowers a blue base card a piece of green cardstock to layer cuttlebug embossed down one side, a pretty ribbon tied at the top stickles glitter glue to outline parts and a heat gun to drie the glitter glue quick and there we have it.

A new topper sheet.

A new stacking sheet for you all.

The original photograph was took by a friend Jules and I was given permission to use it, I changed it into a Watercolour and made it into a sheet for you to download, by stacking up the images you will get 2 toppers to start your Christmas card off.

Floral Punch Craft - Sweetpea

Started with an A6 finished size cardand using a smaller cream card stock I stamped the background stamp (By Inkadinkado) and coloured the little flowers with a Sakura pink stardust pen and fastened the green ribbon around the centre of the card.

I cut out some rectangles using the nestabilities and stamped the words sweet pea (by PTI)on the smaller set.

I made the Sweetpea flowers using the Punch Bunch sweetpea punch and added the vines by cutting slivers of the green paper used for the leaves and wrapping them around a pencil to get the spiral shape.

The White Poppy

With this card it was inspired by a 12 x 12 paper I found named white poppy so I thought time to get the floral punch craft out again and creat my favorite flower in white.

I love white and gold together so I used a gold paper for the leaves and layered gold under the oval and poppy paper too.

I tied it together finishing with a pretty white ribbon.
