Spellbinders 'Create-A-Flower' Camellia Tutorial

Hello Blog Friends - the weeks seem to fly by so quickly and the weekends even quicker - do you find it that way - or its it just me! LOL!  It is Sunday evening and I can't think of all I have done this week - or maybe it is a sign of getting older - but we won't go there! LOL!

I thought I would share a quick tutorial using one of the Create-a-Flower Dies Camellia Spellbinders® Shapeabilities® Die D-Lites.  Don't you just love how realistic they can look - and believe me, they are not as complicated as you might think to create.

1. Cut the row of three petals nine (9) times using Captivating Coral cardstock and the Grand Calibur Die Cutting and Embossing Machine.

2. Using the Tool'n One and Stylus tip shape each petal.

 Note: it is best to use the Stylus on a foam mat.

3. Starting with the largest petal, glue five to the points on the Disc Floret Base,  Create a second layer with the next four.

4. Repeat using the medium petals followed by the small.

5. Cut/emboss two leaves using Pixie Play cardstock, along with one Disc Floret in green.

6. Adhere the leaves to the underneath of the flower using liquid glue

7. Adhere the Disc Floret over the base of the flower and leaves; using liquid glue.

8. Adhere to project as desired

Designer Tip: The leaves can be curved inwards to form a bud or partially open flower or curved outwards, leaving a few petals on the inside forward to create a more realistic flower.

Noble Things

It is good to be back blogging after a few days away - we have been busy but not with posts - my DH is a photographer and we have been doing the Santa photos at the local Marketplace - today was 

pets day - how cute all of the dogs were - and one rabbit -awww!

 

 For my care today I have used Want2scrap bling - the lovely Swirls Finesses in LeCreme.

 

  

The Flower has been created using the Standard Circles SM Spellbinders® Nestabilities.  The leaves are from an artificial rose - the perfect size - I love to recycle.

 

The sentiment is by Penny Black Inc. - Lifes Messages cling stamp set, which has been stamped using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® VersaFine™ Archival Pigment Ink in Spanish Moss, cut out using Labels Thirty Nestabilities® and layered onto some material cut using Labels Seventeen Nestabilities®. The base layer has been embossed using the Lovely Lattice Spellbinders® M-Bossabilities™ folder.

I have also used Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™ - E-Z Adhesive Runner
