Tutu Tuesday Tutorial revisited, 16th Feb, 2021!

 Welcome everyone

I'm taking a walk down memory lane again today. But first lets enjoy a lovely, pretty Tutu!  Like dancing flower petals!

 

So, I received some gifts over the weekend and have some tissue paper saved from the packaging.  What a good way to use tissue paper -make handmade flowers!!   I made this video back in mid 2018 and it's still relevant today.  Stampin' Up! have more dies these days that you could use too to cut out the petal layers.

Why not try this with Stitched Stars, In the Tropics or even Celebrate Sunflowers!  I'll  share photos at the bottom of this video of several made using a retired petal punch and a 2" circle punch. The bottom photos shows a flower made using a Stitched Star die AND I've repurposed the mango melody coloured tissue paper from a Paper Pumpkin kit as well!

In this video I've used a retired floral punch (which I will never part with). So if you have it too, why not give this a go.  Anyone still got some of the brown packaging paper our Stampin' Up! orders use to come packed in?  I've tons of it and it also makes fabulous handmade flowers!

I've made use of brads, re-inkers, rubbing alcohol, punches, paper piercer, spritzers amongst other things to create my handmade flowers!

Here are some created today using cream coloured tissue paper packaging.  One was made using a 2" circle punch and the other the retired petal flower punch I'd used in the video!

The flower on the right I have spritzed with Mango Melody reinker mixed with rubbing alcohol. Gave it a quick blast with my heat gun to dry it.  The one on the left I used a circle punch. There are 1.5". 2" & 2.5" available in the current annual catalogue. I have used the 2" punch.

This little decorated mint tin I made a few years ago uses brown paper and black tissue paper. I think the punch used was called Pansy Punch for the brown paper one.  I no longer own it but you get the picture on what can be created with floral punches & dies.  The black tissue little one is using a retired scalloped punch.  FYI that little tin is an Eclipse mint tin which I collected a few of. My hubby drilled holes in the lids so I could put ribbon through so they could be hung on Christmas Trees. I made a lot of this back in 2014!

 

And here is the flower made using one of the dies from the Stitched Stars die set.

Thanks for stopping by, and remember, til next time,

happy stamping, crafting, colouring & creating!

 

Tutu Tuesday, 23rdJuly2019!

Hi there, isn't this the most gorgeous Tutu styled gown!  Check it out on my Facebook page, I've given it the 'animation' treatment  ☺

It's been a little while but I've got a tutorial for you today.  Many of you may have seen some large Magnolia flowers made using the new Hot Air Balloon punch (page 188 in the current annual catalogue). Well I don't have that punch and to be honest I may not be getting it for a while.  So I thought, hmmm, I recon I could use the Balloon Bouquet  punch that's carried over. It's on page 186!

For my lovely Magnolia flower I punched out 5 times using whisper white cardstock. You need 5 of the large balloon for the base layer and 4 of the smaller balloon for the top layer.  M centres I die cut out using the Magnolia Memory die set (page 194) along with some of the leaves from that die set too.

I sponged my flower petals with Petal Pink ink, the centres were cut out using a scrap of So Saffron, I sponged them with the matching ink too.  Using my bone folder I curled all of them ever so slightly.  I snipped off the little tab bits off the balloons then glued 5 of the large ones together. Once dried, I glued on the four smaller petals, off setting them.



Some leaves have been die cut out of Mossy Meadow card stock then glued to the back of the flower.I used dimensionals to attached my flower to the front of my layered base card.  That's some of the gorgeous Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper (page 165) and some Petal Pink card stock layered on to a Basic Black folded card base,. All sponged with Petal Pink ink too.  I've used a strip of the patterned paper on the inside of my finished card to tie it all in together.





I'm really happy how this flower came out as it's not as big as it could have been using the Hot Air Balloon punch.  My sentiment was cut out using the Stitched Rectangle dies.  It's stamped with Mossy Meadow and the sentiment also comes from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set!

Why don't you give it a go!  All products are listed and are linked directly to my online store too!

Til next time, remember

happy stamping, colouring & creating!
