Hey there everyone, Stacy here. So I have been loving making flowers for my layouts lately. There are so many great, fun flowers you can make out of paper to spice up your cards and layouts.
One of my favorites right now is a flower you can make out of 8 hearts. You can use you punch, or your die cut machine. Here is a close up of the flowers I made for my layout.
~What you want to do is cut out 8 hearts for this flower. You will also need a circle punch for underneath to adhere your petals to.
~Next simply fold all 8 hearts in half so that you have a nice point at the bottom of the heart.
~Now you want to fold both edges of the heart back even with the crease from the first fold.(almost like you have folded the heart in thirds)
~Next unfold all of the hearts and place around the circle that you punched out. To give it demension stager the hearts and layer over one another. I used my Terrifically Tacky Tape so that my petals would not move around.
For this layout I used paper from Pink Paislee 365 line. I also used a boarder punch on the pattern paper for a different look on a couple of the strips of paper. Now for the center of the flower how about a little cork button also from Pink Paislee or simply place a button in the middle. For the word "hugs" I used letters from Jillibean Soup, and the little letters across the bottom are My Little Shoebox Mini Alphas.
Well ladies, hope you enjoy this layout and I would love to see your handmade paper flowers. Please share with us over in the gallery :)
Until next time....Happy Scrappin'
