I love the classic look of black and white, and I love the new JustRite Clings with the co-ordinating Spellbinder Dies. They have such a classic and elegant look that not much else is required to make a stunning project.
This quick and easy off the page project uses the minimal of additional elements.
The note card holder is a template that I designed. You can get the download link to the pdf file over on my blog. Simply print the template onto some Bazzill, cut out and assemble.

Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday. Today we have a tutorial on making beautiful layered flowers using Rose Creations.
Products Used:
Bazzill Basics Paper:
Bazzill Red
Spellbinders:
S5-050 Rose Creations
Other Materials Used:
Large brad
Hot glue gun
Water
Iridescent medium (optional)
Glitter and spray glue (optional)
Ornate button (optional)
Bamboo skewer
Instructions:
Step One:
Cut four flowers of at least four different sizes of Rose Creations, sixteen in total. I like the large, medium and two small flowers, but not the smallest as it is a little fiddly.
Step Two:
Take a large brad (any colour) and thread one small flower, use glue gun to adhere petals over the top of brad to form a bud. Then thread on all flowers from smallest to
large and splay brad at back.
Step Three:
Mist or dunk the flower in water, scrunching up the petals from the inside small ones to the large ones at the back into a kind of bud.
Step Four:
Unfurl the petals, carefully arranging them with a skewer as you go. Dry off with a heat gun.
There are a few options once petals are arranged nicely, and flower is dry:
You can roughly brush over Iridescent medium, or gold paint
Or you can squirt middle with a little darker Glimmer mist,
Or spray a little spray glue and sprinkle just a tiny bit of fine glitter to match the flower.
Or glue an ornate button in the centre instead.
Edge some petals with Stickles or glitter glue
You can edge flowers with stamp pad ink before you thread them on brad.
the water makes the ink soften and smudge, for a nice natural look.
Tips
Don’t let the flowers all line up, try to offset them so petals splay out nicely.
If they still are lined up too much wait until you have dried them off then twist them around from the back.
The more you scrunch the crinklier the flower.
Pinch the petals across the top with thumb and forefinger
Dry off with heat gun if too wet and continue to arrange petals
Use a skewer to help arrange petals as you are drying.
Play with it and have fun.
Use two shades of cardstock, darker one for the centre
You can use Blossoms 2 or Carnation Creations Spellbinders instead.
Vary the sizes and amounts of cut flowers used to create different types of finished flowers.

Welcome to Tutotial Tuesday. Every second Tuesday one of our Design Team members will be sharing one of their projects with photos and step by step instructions.
Our first tutorial has been created by Teresa.
This lovely project is a wonderful way to give your special mum flowers that will last a lot longer than a bunch you’d buy from a florist. While it’s a fabulous Mother’s Day gift, it could easily be altered for any occasion.

Products Used:
Bazzill Basics Paper:
8-820E Rope Swing
7-7138D Seaglass
2-214E Red Devil
Spellbinders:
S4-114 Circles Large
S4-072 Flower Creations
S5-030 Fancy Tags 2
Other Materials Used:
Plastic cup
Plasticine
Skewers
Woodwool (or other packing material such as shredded paper)
2 Co-ordinating pieces of designer paper
Adhesive (I prefer to use PVA for paper construction work)
Alphabet stickers (I have used some Thickers here)
Instructions:
Step 1
Place the plasticine into the bottom of the cup to weigh it down, and add some woodwool to the cup. Put the skewers aside for the moment.
Step 2
Measure the height of your cup, and cut a strip of Rope Swing cardstock that is that wide. Wrap it around the cup, and use some adhesive to hold it in place. Don’t worry too much if it doesn’t hold, we will secure it in place in a minute
Step 3
Punch holes through the cup and cardstock.
Step 4
Tie a bow through these holes. This will stop the cup from slipping out of the sleeve.
Step 5
Create a cuff for the cup with strips of cardstock and patterned paper of varying widths. Wrap some twine around the whole thing. This will stop all the cardstock from unravelling.
Step 6
Cut the flowers using the Flower Creations die in each of the cardstock colours and patterned papers.
Step 7
Assemble the flowers, bending up some of their petals to give dimension.
Step 8
Cut some circles using the Circles Large dies, and adhere these to the backs of the flowers with the skewers in the middle
Step 9
Cut a tag using the Fancy Tag dies, and adhere the alphabet stickers to write ‘Mum.’ Attach this to a skewer with a small rectangle of cardstock on the back.
To finish arrange all the pieces as in the top photo.
