Tutorial Thursday - Spring Wreath

Hello there!

Arlene here with Tutorial Thursday. Today I'm going to show you how I created the Spring Wreath that I shared on a card for yesterday's Inspiration Wednesday project. These wreaths are super fun to make and quite easy! 

My wreath features La La Land Crafts Two Leaves die, Cherry Blossoms Flower die, Winter Branches die and Stitched Nested Circles die. 

Here is a quick photo of the spring wreath card, in case you missed yesterday's post:

Here is the video tutorial to show you how to create the wreath!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Hope you give one of these wreaths a try!

hugs & butterflykisses xoxo,

Tutorial Thursday - Little roses

Hello, here Anna

Today I’d like to show you how to make little roses using 

a Cherry Blossom Flowers Die.

These flowers are really easy to make.

Maybe some of you would like to make them and show us your finished roses.

To make the roses, you will need paper (I used a yellow, hand made paper),

a burnishing tool, mat, spray bottle filled with water,

glue and a Cherry Blossom Flowers Die.

First, cut out all of the parts for the flowers, using a die. For each flower,

you will need two of each size of petals.

Spray the cut out components with water.

Next, twist each part of the petals with your fingers.

When the parts are dry, unfold them and shape them using burnishing tool.

1. Glue together the first set of smallest petals.

2.Add the second set of smaller petals around the first ones

3. Next, add first set of medium petals.

4.Now, add the second set of medium petals.

5.Next, glue/add the largest set of petals. First.

6. And second.

You can also make flowers using only two largest sized petals..

  Fold and shape the petals with pliers and your roses are ready.

I hope that you like my roses and that you will feel inspired to make your own.

Hugs, Anna
