Perfect Paper Flowers Video

Learn the easiest way to make a perfect paper flower. Paper flowers are beautiful but cutting them by hand is tedious, especially if you’re making a bunch. Now you can cut a flower in seconds with the Spiral Flower Originals Die and Big Shot. And you can cut multiple sheets at one time or use different materials. After the flowers are cut, just roll and adhere. Make one, make a ton—either way, you’ll be done in no time!



Thanks for watching today, as you can see the Spiral Flower dies is a fun addition to your Big Shot collection.

Quilting with paper

I Think You're Lovely

Sale-a-Bration









This was my first creation with my new toys from Celebrate the Everyday Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration! I just took the color combo from the DSP. Very easy card with pretty colors. I love the new Baker's Twine. It is almost like a yarn. Much easier to work with and shows up better. I have a few more creations that I need to take photos of. I put away my photo lightbox in preparation for my Sale-a-bration Open House and all of my other cards were created somewhere in between! The weather here has been very Winter. Too Winter. I feel like Shackleton every time I leave the house! But, it is great weather to hole up in your stamping room and just have fun! I had a great time creating about a dozen cards or so for my Open House and I can't wait to share them with you!
