*~*Flowers, Flowers Everywhere~*~ Blog Hop

Thanks for joining us on the Flowers, Flowers Everywhere Blog Hop! 

You should have arrived from Monica's blog.  The hop begins on Kathryn's blog if you'd like to start at the top.  



We have 22 fabulous designers all ready to showcase some of their favorite FLOWER creations with you today!  This is a two-day hop. so most of us will have a second project posted tomorrow, so be sure to stop by again!

Today I'm featuring a Birthday card with a large folded flower.  A few months ago I learned how to make this super easy flower through Close to My Heart.
First I punched 8 circles (1 1/4") from my patterned paper, Mayberry.  I made sure that the reverse side of my paper was all the same shade (of honey).
Next I folded up one side, about 1/3.  Then I folded the second side up, forming a point at the bottom, like a cone shape.

I did this for all 8 "flower petals".  I took a 9th punched circle and put lots of adhesive on it.  I then added my "petals" on until it formed a full circle, forming my flower.  I added two buttons to the center to complete it.

Finally, I stamped my stem (Dreams come true) and my sentiment (Card Chatter- Happy Birthday).  I could have even put Happy Mother's Day on this card (but I already made those cards).

Supplies
CTMH- Mayberry Level 2 papers
CTMH- Card Chatter- Happy Birthday
CTMH- Dreams come True
CTMH- 1 1/4" Circle Punch
CTMH- Green Button Assortment
CTMH- Pink Button Assortment

CTMH- Everything ABC's Blog Hop- E is for Easter

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter E. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their E element will be featured in their post. If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start at the beginning at Amber's blog ~ Scrapper's Therapy  If you came from Shelly ~ Just One Piece then you're on the right track! E is for EASTER You may recall a few months ago, I posted a couple layouts from the baby album I am making for my niece.... well she's now 3 months old and I only finished through 4 months!  I have some work to do..... Today I created an Easter Layout using THIS layout as my inspiration.  The Chantilly paper pack is perfectly girly and springy!  I cut two strips of the green pattern, then sliced it up to make it look like grass.  Using Art Philosophy, I cut out a bunch of different eggs in 1 1/2", 1 3/4" and ...

CTMH- Washi Tape Card

Do you WASHI???   Washi Tape is one of the new and super trendy products being used.  I'm not afraid to jump on the bandwagon :)  CTMH now has a Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape (and I HOPE there are lots more to come!!!)  I also have picked up a couple others at Michaels recently. This weeks Color My Heart Color Dare is JUNIPER.  I decided to use Juniper as the accent color for my card today. I used the black banner stamp set from Artiste Kudos , CTMH's Slate Washi Tape , CTMH's Silver Shimmer Trim and a black arrow washi tape.  The sentiment is from Artiste Birthday , stamped in Juniper, then popped on foam tape. A simple card like this, called for some dressing up of the inside too.  I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfect Fit Birthday and added some Slate Washi Tape to the bottom. Head over to Color My Heart to check out the other color dare entries :)
