Here's a Stampin' Up video tutorial showing you how to make this pretty Crepe Filter Paper flower using Fringe Scissors. Email subscribers: don't forget that you'll need to click on this email post title to get to my blog to watch the video.
Also, I forgot to mention last week that Stampin' Up put out an update saying that the items on the 2013 Holiday Carryover list HERE are only available until August 28, 2014 (the new holiday mini catalog starts right after that). So be sure to check out the list before then and thanks for visiting!
REPOST FROM AUGUST 2012 - It seems that this prior post is having some viewing problems, so I'm reposting it. Be sure to check out the "Tutorials" Tab on my right sidebar under the "Labels" title for more great summer ideas. Have a great week!

The inspiration for this card came from a fellow demonstrator, but now I can't remember who it was (I'll find the name this weekend and update then). I saw it on our Demonstrator website; Stampin' Connection. Thank goodness for the website because you just always need inspiration!
This card was made using the Secret Garden Stamp Set and Framelits. The colors are Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, Lucky Limeade, and Whisper White. After I die cut the flowers, I curled them with my bone folder then sponged around them with Tangerine Tango ink to give them more appeal. The Designer paper I used is now retired, but any colors would look great on this note card! I made the card to fit into a regular sized envelop, so it's about 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".
Here's a great video from Stampin' Up showcasing the NEW Bloomin' Bouquet flower kit; it's awesome! It's available starting today and only while supplies last. Email subscribers will need to click over to my blog to view the video.
This easy-to-assemble kit comes complete with the petals, stems, and buttons to create the flowers, as well as four different tags to make this the perfect gift for any occasion. All you need is some paper, ribbon or a vase to add the finishing touches to the bouquet.
As if that weren't enough, the kit contains a "baker's dozen"! This means you can create and give (or keep) a dozen flowers, and have a bonus flower left over to pass along to someone new!

Spring is in the air—and to me that means bright happy colors and flowers! I love to make paper flowers. Depending on the type of flower I want to make and the tools I use, it can be an involved process and take a lot of time. Creating paper flowers with the Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit is easy, though, because the flowers come pre-cut and ready to go.
The first step is to take six flowers and curl the end of each petal with a Bone Folder.
Next, with the petals curling down, pinch the flower between your fingers so that it’s puckered in the center.
Expand the flower and add a small dab of hot glue to the center.
Then pinch it together again until the glue has dried.
Repeat the process for all six flowers. Once you have them all pinched and glued in the center, take a length of floral wire and glue one flower to the end.
I wrapped a bit of Calypso Coral Baker’s Twine around my vase to dress it up a little and then decided I needed a bunny to really make it feel like springtime and Easter. The Ears To You stamp (in Single Stamps: Assortment 3) is adorable! And by adding one of the fabric brads from the Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit for his little cottontail and dressing him up in a bowtie, I just love him even more.
