Technique Tuesday - quick paper flowers

Happy Tuesday

Today I have a great way of making a quick and easy rolled paper flower! 

On the weekend it was my friend Tamara's daughter (Ella) first Birthday!!  I always like to try and add a homemade element to all gifts weither it is homemade card or the gift:)  This is what I made!

It was alot of fun!  To see what I used for products please check out the Paradise Pondering blog!

This is how I made the rolled paper flowers.

The first thing I did was cut a circle.  I didn't worry about the shape so much:)

I then cut the circle into a spiral.



To roll the flower I used a Paper tool made by Imaginese.  Start at the outer edge and work your way to the center.





Then using glossy accents I glued it together



Thank you for stopping by and I hope this little tutorial was helpfull

Feature Product at Scrapbookers Paradise for April 16 - 30

Hello!!  The feature product at Scrapbookers Paradise from April 16 - 30 is the 1" Score tape!!  If you are ordering on-line please quote 'FIST'

I love score tape in general!  It is an amazing adhesive and I love that it comes in a HUGE variety of sizes!  For my project I love using this tape for the burnished velvet technique.

The first thing I did was to cover a piece of cardstock with the score tape

I then ran it through my big shot with the Tim Holtz Butterflight edge die.



 The next thing I did was burnished it with Rose Copper and Celadon and cinnamon Glitter Ritz Micro Fine Glitter!

Happy Friday!!

Hello!  It just dawned on me that I have not posted anything for a couple of weeks!  So here is a box I made for the paradise Ponderings Blog!

It is amazing what you can do with a $2.00 wooden box from Dollarama and some acrylic paint and patterned paper!!!

The next item I have to show is a mini album that I made for a class (I am teaching it tomorrow at the south store!).  I needed a place to keep some of my baby photos so this is what I came up with!!  There is also NO pattern paper in this,  it is all stamped!

On this last page,  there is actually 4 separate books in a little mini, mini album!

Thank you for stopping by!!

Scrapbookers Paradise Feature Product - Tattered Angles

Hello blogland!!  Just to let you know,  Scrapbookers Paradise has Tattered Angels on special from March 16 - 31!!  They are regular $8.99 on sale for $7.50.  If you are ordering on-line, please quote "FIGM" to take advantage of this sale!! (new colors are excluded)

Tattered Angels is a acid-free, non-toxic, water-based glimmer mist!!  It comes in a variety of colors!!  I would have to say my personal favourites are Creme de Chocolat and Dazzling Diamonds.

This is a very good example of a clean and simple layout!  Don't get me wrong,  I love layers but sometimes simple just works!!!

The first thing I did was Cricut some random letters and numbers using the cartridge Platinum Schoolbook.

I then spritzed over them with Creme de Chocolat Tattered Angels Glimmer mist!

The result I was left with was maskerific!!  I love the color with the little bit of shimmer!

I then matted the picture of my son and add some gears (I cut them from the Tim Holtz Gaget Gears die, which I then covered in Aged Black embossing enamel by Stampendous) and done!! 

Make sure to take a look at Selena C blog to see what she came up with as well as make sure to leave a comment on the Paradise Pondering blog for a chance to win a free Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist!
