Paper flowers were all the rage at CHA Winter 2010, especially layered ones made from patterned papers.
If you are wondering how to create that look, you might want to check out this video I stumbled across by Dawn McVey, who designs the Raspberry Suite signature collection for Papertrey Ink. She demonstrates beautifully the technique behind creating a basic paper flower for some cards she designed. (To see the blog entry that contains the gorgeous cards the flowers were for, and get the supply list for them, click here to visit Dawn McVey’s blog.)
The punch Dawn is using in the video is by EK Success for Stampin’ Up!, but EK also sells scallop circle punches in their regular product line, in sizes such as 3 inch, 2 inch, 1.5 inch, 1.25 inch, and 1 inch.




















Incredible! And plays right into the recycling advocacy I am on for 20 years now. Thanks Nancy!
Loved the video and the super simple flowers. Thanks Nancy for sharing this piece.
This are simply adorable. Thank you for the instructions.
Very very cute and very inexpensive. Love it. Thank you for sharing. Also, you present such a clear and concise video. Nice!
I have tried your technique and love it on my layouts. Thanks so much.
