i started by preparing my background. i used tattered angles "TATTERED TRAVELLER" glimmer screens, tim holtz "tea die" distress ink and faber-castell brown brush pen. for a step-by step tutorial on how to create a tailor-made background, click HERE.

after i finished my background, i cut a 13,5 x 18,5 cm rectangle from a blue pattern paper and i glued it under the picture. i cut a 14 x 23 cm pattern paper stripe and punch the long edges with martha stewart "iron gate" edge punch. the two stripes from blue paper are punched with martha stewart “stars” edge punch.

i used the HC decorative lace border die and brown cardstock to create some decorative elements on my layout. for my embellishments i used different pattern papers - BOBUNNY "time piece" for the clocks; K & COMPANY for the tickets and the dictionary stripes. i cut two fancy corners with HC decorative butterfly / border die and added them to my layout.

the flowers - i stamped various sizes blossoms on pattern papers with brown ink. then, i punched few starburst flakes and shaped the different layers. i added 3d foam tape under some of the petals to create dimension on my page. for a complete tutorial with close ups, please click HERE.

i stamped few flourishes with leaves and small leaves from HC leaf medley stamp set on a pattern paper, cut them out and shaped them with embossing pen. 

the title is made with brown cardstock alphabet.

i stamped a sentiment from HC classic message precut set on a blue pattern paper; distressed the edges and glued it above the picture.

to finish off my page, i added word brads and pearls.

i hope you enjoyed today's post!

flower tutorial using the hc flora grande precut sets - part II

good evening crafty friends!

few weeks ago i published a tutorial on how to create a paper flower with heartfelt creations flora grande precut sets. today, i'm adding a little twist to it - just keep reading:-)

here is a list of what you will need to make such flowers:

HCPC 3375 flora grande 1 precut set

HCPC 3374 flora grande 2 precut set

"starburst" punch

brown ink pad

brads

3d foam tape

double sided adhesive tape

step 1: stamp 3 different sized floral designs; cut the images by hand or you can use the blossom 3 nestabilities die from spellbinders.

step 2: separate the individual petals;

step 3: punch 3 or more starburst shapes; curl the petals down {i used my pencil for the large flowers and a barbecue stick for the smaller ones - i'm sure that there are better tools, but just didn't have anything at home}; curl the rays of the starburst shape up:

step 4: turn your flowers and add 3d foam squares under the petals;

step 5: make a hole in the middle and put the brad through all of the different layers; the end result should be something like this:

i hope this tutorial was useful to you!

the coming wednesday i'll be sharing the layout i used these beauties on, so stay tuned:-)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

have a magical CHRISTMAS {away from paper and scissors:-)} and wonderful NEW YEAR!
