Paper Punch Flowers

My new technique that I am working on is Paper Punch Flowers.

Supplies needed:

1. Paper (pattern or solid - I am using Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby)
2. Retro Flower Punch - Medium by EK Success
3. Embossing Stylus - Fiskers
4. Paper Piercing Pad - (I use In Stitch'z Jr. by Bazzill)
5. Stickles (I am using Pink and Silver)

Step 1 - Punch your flowers out of the paper (Ink or chalk edges now if desired)
Step 2 - Place flower upside-down on your Piercing Pad

Step 3 - Using the Embossing Stylus carefully shap each petal by rubbing around the edges of the petal and in the center of the petal until desired petal is acheived (careful not to tear the paper). Repeat for each petal.



Step 4 - Flip flower over to the right side and use the stylus to indent the center which will cause your petals to pop up.



Step 5 - Using your Stickles add a center to each flower.

That's it. It is pretty easy and a lot cheaper than buying paper flowers. Below is a flower I made with my Cricut and a file I found online for Make the Cut. I cut multiple size flowers and inked the edges and joined them with a brad and covered the brad with pink Stickles .
