Paper Flowers Made Easy, a Craftsy Tutorial

Posted on November 8, 2014 | 3 comments

Hi everyone! If you’re looking for today’s MFT release sample, you can find that HERE. (It’s my favorite of the whole release. Just sayin…)

I recently began a new adventure – writing tutorials for Craftsy, an online community featuring hundreds of classes from gardening to drawing, knit/crochet, photography, jewelry making, cake decorating, paper crafts and more. There are also blogs based on various interests with posts highlighting tips, tricks, techniques, etc. You can check out the list of blogs HERE. (Choose a topic on the right.) I think you should choose paper crafts. 😉

Paper Flowers Made Eas y

I’ve written an easy step-by-step tutorial with lots of pictures explaining how to make a pretty dimensional paper flower. I hope you’ll check it out. If you have a moment, please feel free to leave a comment there to let me know what you think. 🙂

I used one of my favorite flower dies from MFT, Plentiful Petals, with Leaf Filled Flourish.

Thanks for stopping by today! 🙂

MFT November Previews — Warmest Wishes

Posted on November 8, 2014 | 25 comments

Hi everyone! We’re moving right along with only four more days until MFT‘s November 11 release! 🙂 My card today features Birdie Brown’s Warmest Wishes stamp set with Blueprints 20.

This might be my favorite of this month’s releases. I just adore her. 🙂

She was stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers. The quilt patches and stitches were cut using Blueprints 20 and Natural card stock with the light blue pieces colored with a Copic marker.

Inside, I used the opposite pieces cut to create the front pieces (no waste here) and added a second sentiment.
