Flower Shoppe Day!

Happy New Year!  Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe entrance into the New Year!  We spent time with friends and had a great evening!

This is my first post of 2012!  I am sharing a small creation with you for Flower Shoppe Thursday from Erica's Cricut Craft Room.  I made a scrapbook for a friend and used LOTS of cartridges in the process but I'll show you only a few at a time!  I gotta keep ya coming back right!?  LOL!

First up is just a basic flower with four layers overlapping and a crystal accent in the center.  I ran all the layers through the Cuttlebug for some texture.  See how my flower mirrors the pattern on the paper?  Pretty clever huh?!

Next up is some more basic, flat flowers and leaves.  For the stems, I cut thin strips of green paper.  Each part of the flower is outlined in Stickles while the center is covered in clear Stickles.

Would You Ever Guess Wednesday?! With Flowers!

Good Morning Everyone!  Hope you are all enjoying this crazy time of year!  Even though we are all losing our sanity right now, crafting must continue!  This week at Erica's Cricut Craft Room, it's Would You Ever Guess Wednesday/Flowers Day! 

I've created 2 little projects to share. the first was my very first attempt at using Flower Shoppe. The base is an empty ribbon spool, covered in paper and ribbon. The flowers on top were cut in various sizes and just glued on! Cute huh?!

Next is a tree that I made using Flower Shoppe.  This took ALOT of time and ALOT of flowers!  I think it's best if you use double sided paper so you get color all around the flower.  These were all cut at around 5 inches, so a bit bigger, some smaller.  I painted the cone form in cream first, let that dry, then adhered the flowers using Aleene's Tacky Glue in the Gold bottle, GREAT STUFF!  Once the flowers were set and the glue had dried, I went back and used DecoArt Dimensional Writer Glistening Snow to fill in each center of the flower for some sparkle!  I really liked how these came out!  Once I play with this cartridge a bit more, I think I'll really enjoy using it!
