Flower Tutorial with Angel Girl by Jeannie DeGruccio
"Hello everyone. I am here with a tutorial that I offered last week and some of you wanted to see how I made the flower from this card:
This is the same type flower, just on a smaller scale.
Firs you will need to cut out circles. About 9 - 10 of them.
4 different sizes, with the largest being a scalloped edge circle.
I used the CIRCLE and Scalloped Circle Large dies.
Distress all the circles so the paper is nice an pliable.
Ink the edges of all circles and cut a small pie shaped wedge out of all the circles, but not the largest scalloped circle.
For the largest scalloped circle, you will spiral cut it, like the one below.
Using a quick drying glue, overlap edges of all circles where the wedge was cut out.
When turned over, they will look like little hats.
Starting with the smallest circles, start building the flower.
Here is what the back looks like for the first layer.
Put the glue on the flatter portion or each petal and start gluing them all together, staggering the petals as you add the different sizes.
Here is what the flower will look like when all the circles have been glued together.
Side view.
To make the center, take the spiral cut flower and start rolling the spiral, but start from the center, not the outer edge.
Here you can see what I mean but starting in the center.
Here is the center all rolled up loosely.
Be sure that you have a lot of glue in the flower base to drop the center into.
Here is the completed flower! Pretty easy, right??"

| You Mean I Can Cut... |

"Yes. Yes you can... and then some. Check out this video featuring our Education Director, Kim Hupke, as she shows us the variety of different materials that your Spellbinders™ dies will cut! What have you cut with your Spellbinders™ dies outside of the realm of paper? Share with us in the comments below! We'd love to see it!"
I have pics from John Petersen's box class earlier this month, and Marj's "Tulip Festival" card samples that are hanging on the bookshelf next to the store entrance. Something has happened to my photo card; it and the photo software are acting weird, being selective about what has downloaded and what has not. I'll be working on that because I don't want you to miss out.
I hope you enjoyed the sunshine yesterday and today as much as I have. It appears that the beautiful sunlight will continue into tomorrow. Perhaps I will become much more serious about putting away my winter drearies and taking out my spring and summer clothes.
