As we head into the weekend, My Creative Scrapbook design team member Nicole Doiron has some Main kit inspiration to share in the form of flower-making instructions!
Here's Nicole:
Hello! I will be sharing with you a few tips on how I created 3
different flowers for my 'One Perfect Day' layout featuring the
September Main kit.
My first flower was made out of 3 strips of patterned paper.
I first punched a circle out of black cardstock to use as the base of my flower.
I first punched a circle out of black cardstock to use as the base of my flower.
I then created 3 strips of paper with a border punch (you can use any kind you have). One strip is a bit longer and larger than the others, at about 8". The shorter strips are 6".
I covered the black circle with glue.
Using the longer paper strip first, I pleated it around the flower base.
I then added a large glue dot and pleated one of the shorter strips in the middle of the flower.
I did the same for the last paper strip.

I then finished my flower by adding a small black circle and a large pearl in the center.
My 2nd flower was made using a 6" strip of the sheer ribbon included in the Main kit. I created 2 so I cut 2 ribbon strips.
I punched a small circle out of white cardstock and covered it with a large glue dot to make the flower base.
I then proceeded to twist the strip of ribbon and curl it around the white circle.
Adding
a glue dot on the back of the base too, I curled the last bit of my
ribbon outward and under the base to make the flower a bit larger.
Finally, I used a 8" piece of the large polkadot ribbon to create my 3rd flower.
Following the same principle as the previous flowers, I punched a flower base out of cardstock and covered it with glue.
I then stuck the ribbon around the edge of the base going inward.

I added a large pearl as the flower center.
Here are close-ups of the flowers as they appear on my layout.
I hope you will try making handmade flowers with your MCS kit as well!
