Hello everyone .. Time for me to give you another tutorial. You never can get enough Flower How too's and with that said I have a Sunflower to share with you...With fall here It just made me in the mood.If you do not have these punches you can used what you have at home maybe a daisy punch or your cricut.

Here is what you will need...

Yellow,brown and green cardstock (shade of your choice)
Tim Holtz distress ink-Vintage Photo
Blending Tool
Fabic Tack(or any fast drying Glue)
Moulding mat or mouse pad
Large stylus 8mm with ball

Now you are to punch out the following....
Star Lilly -12 of each petal (yellow)
Highland snow flake -One (yellow)
Sun- 3 in brown
Birch leaf-4 in green
Ink all your petals in vintage Photo...

Then using the Stylus and mat, You will press down on the punch piece using the stylus in a circular motion to loosen the paper.

Do this to all the pieces...

Now using the highlander snowflake as the base,you will then glue the large petals all around then layer the second to largest over that offsetting between the petals...

Continue with the rest of the petals and then add the sun by layering them in each other and glueing in the center.. now add the leaves to your liking..

How did I do that ..Fall Wreath by Zoe

Making a Fall Wreath

Gather up your scraps from your kit...believe me there is plenty I created 4 layouts 2 cards a canvas AND a wreath!!! and I still had a little left over. Great value for money
You will also need a score board I use a martha stewart one
Strong glue like Fabri-tac or a Hot glue gun
Buttons left over from your kit
some cardstock
circle punch or you can hand cut them
and a little bit of patience!!



For the big flowers I cut 2 12 inch strips I needed about an extra 3 inches to make the full flower but mostly I used 1 inch strips anything 8 inches and longer will work.

Score the strip every 1/4"



Fold back and forth all the way to end, then add some glue to hold it all in place.



This picture gives a good idea, I glued an overlap so that it will have a stronger hold over time.



Now here's the fun part, I hadn't actually ever made these before I made this wreath... so lots of trial and error. I found as I would flatten them down they would just pop right back up again... so I decided to cut some reinforcement! I punched out some circle and glued one to the back AND to the front of each flower.



if you have a few bottles of "anything" sitting around just place them on top while waiting for the glue to dry!!



next I punched out some circles from the patterned paper and used some natural twine to thread the buttons with.



Once everything is dry you can layer the 1inch flowers on top of the 2inch flowers and then add the patterned paper circles and buttons.



Adhering to the wreath would be easier with a hot glue gun... however if your like me and would burn yourself if you owned one fabri-tac or a similar strong glue will have to do instead! lol I found adding the glue to the backs of the flowers placing them where I wanted on the wreath and then setting the wreath backside up worked best, as otherwise your liquid glue would just slide through the holes! so place them where you want them then lay face down on the table and let dry. it was really sturdy when I picked it up an hour later!!

Last just add a sentiment and a few last flowers and you are done!! I actually had an extra left over so I made an extra card!!


Enjoy making this fall wreath

How did I do that...Misting thru die cut by Hilde

take your sheet of paper and the chickenwire together with glimmermist:



spray the glimmermist on top of the chickenwire:



then you have your great misting!







Another thing I did with the chickenwire is using white paint on a tissue and simply stamp on your chickenwire.
It doesn't give this detailed look, but it still looks fun!



Enjoy this misting technique !!!

Making an Awesome Stamp with Tomoko....

***Making a stamp***
I used a clear stamp from Bo Bunny to make this, but if you don't have something like it, you can make your own stamp out of bubble sheets.



**Supplies**
Bubble sheet, stamp ink, liquid pearl (paint is okay if you don't have any)


Cut the bubble sheet into your desired size.

Press in onto paper.


Add liquid pearls or paint in the center of the dots.
