Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration ~ Spiral Flower Die Tutorial


Today at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration, I'm bragging about the new Stampin' Up! Spiral Flower die for the Big Shot. I just love it. I love making flowers, but they're always so time consuming. Stampin' Up! Has come up with a simple way to create gorgeous flowers, without spending hours to do them. 

One of the things that I really love about it, is that each flower is so unique and different. No two are alike! Another thing I love is that it really doesn't take THAT much paper. Just a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece. It makes it pretty easy when you're using 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock. 

I am always at a loss when it comes to making wedding cards or gifts. I prefer a classy look, especially for a wedding, so while playing around with the Spiral Flower die it came to me. Lots and lots of flowers, all different sizes, in a few coordinating colors, on top of a box. Perfect! A few weeks ago I created a cute little candy box. The box was simple and quick to put together and I thought it would be the perfect size for this project. It worked out great!

Thankful for Wisteria Wonder

I used the same idea from the last card. I just changed up the color and the size. I'm really not a fan of square cards. Honestly, because I don't have envelopes for them and I absolutely HATE making them. I know, kind of ridiculous. Here is what I created while I was doing "laundry." he he

Paper ~ Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White
Ink ~ Wisteria Wonder, Perfect Plum, Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Stayz on Black
Stamp Sets ~ Stippled Blossoms, From My Heart
