by Brenda Quintana
Create a flower with a scalloped circle punch or die.
Supplies
- Cardstock or decorative paper (used here: Stampin’ Up! Cucumber Crush Card Stock, 2015-2017 In-Color Designer Series Paper Stack)
- Scoring board
- Bone folder
- Die cutting machine
- Scalloped circle punch or die (Circles Framelits Collection used here)
- Ribbon or other trim (Watermelon Wonder Dotted Lace Trim used here)
- Glue (Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue used here)
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
To create the stem, start with a 6" x 1/2" strip of green cardstock. On the short side, score at the 1/4" mark.
-
Step 2
Fold the strip along the score line and run a thin bead of glue along the inside.
-
Use a bone folder to press the strip together.
-
Step 3
Cut a 1" slit into one end of the strip.
-
Step 4
Put glue on one of the split ends.
-
Overlap the split ends to create a narrow end to the stem.
-
Step 5
To create the flower, cut a scallop circle out of designer paper using a die or punch. (Sample die cut is 5" across.)
-
Step 6
Fold the scallop circle in half, then fold it in half again, lining up the scallops.
-
Step 7
Make 1” cuts in between each scallop.
-
Step 8
On the opposite end, cut an arc 3/4" from the bottom.
-
Step 9
Unfold the scallop circle. Cut an opening into the scallop O-shape. Also if there are any double petals, cut them into single petals.
-
Step 10
Put glue along the inner edge of the O-shaped piece and start rolling the scallop circle piece around the narrow end of the stem.
-
Keep adding glue along the inner edge as you roll until the whole scallop piece is rolled up.
-
Step 11
Hold the seam down with your thumb for a few seconds to allow the glue to set.
-
Step 12
Gently pull back the petals to form the flower head.
-
Step 13
To create the leaves, cut two 3" x 1/4" strips of green cardstock.
-
Curl the strips by wrapping one end of each strip around a stylus tool.
-
Step 14
Glue the curled leaves onto the stem.
-
Step 15
Here is the finished flower.
-
Make a single flower or a bouquet.
