Spiral Flower for Easter

Here’s another project we made at this weeks Spiral Flower Die Big Shot Class.
This time we used card stock in Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant and spiral rolled them together.  After assembling the flower with a hot glue gun, we layered it on 2 punched pieces of the Fancy Flower Punch, then spritzed water on the whole flower and started bending each petal back.  I love the two toned effect.  We used the flower to embellish the Tag a Bag Gift Boxes filled with thin strips of Wild Wasabi card stock crumpled up for grass.  I plan on filling these boxes with Cadbury Eggs for a fun Easter treat.

Kisses to Enjoy

 
My Spiral Flower Die Class was a big hit last night.  Here’s the second project we made using the die they each got to take home with them.  By not rolling the flower quite as tight, we were able to attach a Hershey’s Kiss into the center.  Wouldn’t these make great spring party favors?
 
 
Here are the pieces we used.  I sponged around each piece and rolled the spiral on a bamboo skewer.
 
 
Next, I attached a kiss to the end circle of the spiral piece with a dimensional.
A little hot glue hold the whole thing together, then it’s finished off with 2 punched Blossom Flowers under the spiral flower and leaves from the Bird Builder Punch.
There is a slight learning curve to making the flowers with the die, (last nights ladies found that out)  But by the time we finished all of our projects they were pros at it and you will be too.  Stay tuned for a few more Spiral Flower projects the next few days.

Spiral Flower Die Surprise!

 
Over the weekend I was designing my Spiral Flower Die class which is tonight.  Of course you can make beautiful blooming flowers with the die, but I wanted to see what else I could create, so after a little playing in my studio, this is what I came up with.  A cute but simple card.. that is…until you open it up…and then…
 
Surprise! 
It’s a pop up card just by using the negative (leftover scrap) from the Spiral Flower Die.  I attached the scrap to the inside bottom of the card and if you look close you’ll see that I attached the spiral part (just the very tip) to the top inside of the card, so now you’ve got a spiral “pop” that you can attach party hats, butterflies, flowers or what ever else your little heart desires.
How fun and unexpected is that?  I love to find unexpected uses for our product!
 
Be sure to stop by the next few days and I’ll show you more things to make with the Spiral Flower Die.
