Making Flowers from Metal

 A couple of weekends ago I went to an Art and Music Festival.  A girl was selling metal flowers.  I have made them before but not like this.  I bought hers and decided I could do this with my Big Shot.  I collect costume jewelry, especially clip on earrings.  Decided to use some of them as the centers of the flowers!  This is the Fun Flowers Die.

Yes it cuts Metal!  This is Roof flashing.  I sanded it with Stampin' Up's  Sanding Blocks

These sanding blocks are the best out there.  Then I used our sponges and Ink and laid in some color.  I used Midnight Muse!

I'm hoping to do a video on this.  As you have seen I am testing the waters with videos,  I'm really new and raw at this.  Let me know if you've watched them and if you think I should keep keepin on.

Lattice Thank YOU!

Wanted to share this card with you that we did at our card class this month.  Very simple and and easy.  The Lattice die used with the big shot.

This image is sometimes hard to adhear so use the multi purpose adhesive sheets

Do for your paper projects what the Big Shot Fabric Adhesive Roll does for our new fabric—turn your Big Shot die cuts into stickers! Simply apply an adhesive sheet to your card stock, Designer Series paper, or other base material, crank through the Big Shot machine, and peel the backing paper off. Apply your die cut to any kind of project for quick and super easy accents.

■ 12 adhesive sheets, 12" x 12"
■ Add adhesive to die cuts. Simply apply card stock or DSP to the adhesive sheet, run through the Big Shot, peel off backing paper and adhere.
■ Not washable
■ Adheres in an instant with no lifting edges

This will be retiring from SU's catalog at the end of this month so if you want some order NOW

Have fun Stamping today!

Creped Filter Paper Flowers

This was so much fun I had to share it with YOU

 Have you noticed the Creped Filter Paper that is in the Spring catalog?  You get a total of 12 sheets 4 rectangles (each 6:x12) and 8 circles 6" in diam.  The look of tissue paper with the strength of card stock!  It's a bargain!  $2.95!  Last night I decided to try a flower made like you'd make a pom pom.

 This is the paper, I felt I needed to tell you that, cause It looks like "Nothing"

 I according folded the rectangles (all 4 sheets)  and used our white baker's twine to tie in the center  another bargain! 25 yards for $2.95

 This one I did not round the corners, but in the bottom pic I did round the edges and it looks better and more scalloped.  I started gently separating the 4 layers 

 then did the other side.

 Really fun!!

 then I sort of shaped it with my hands, even though it didnt' seem to need it but I couldn't help touching it!

The one on your right is the one that I rounded the edges before I "fluffed" it up, the one on the left is just as it was.  Both pretty, but in making more in the future, I will round the edges.  I just used scissors to do that.  NOW to step them up, You can stamp color and images on the sheets before you fold it and get Pretty colored flowers.  Order your supplies and get to making some fun flowers. 

Thanks for Crafting with me today!
