Basicgrey Wisteria Line Card and Flower Kit With Instructions

Posted by scrapbook on November 6, 2009 under Card, Embellishments, Idea, Kits and Collections | Be the First to Comment

Today i thought it might be nice to have another card idea! Here we we have not only a card but also some cute embellishing flowers. These flowers could also be cute as a centerpiece as well. Something that is also not brand new products, but you can easily transfer with any line from any company. The best thing about these instructions is that they don’t only have to go with the line its intended for. That’s one of the best things about scrapbooking. The Experimenting will all get to do. Try this idea with a new line and add your own little twist.

ENJOY! Kaitlyn

Instructions:

yellow flower/
1 Cut two same-sized scalloped circles out of Finch using the largest die of the Classic Scallop Nestabilities set.
2 Take one of them and cut every single scallop up to about an 1″ from the center (only one of those cuts goes to the very center).
3 Using scissors, shape the petals the same way as you would curl wrapping ribbon (curl some under and some over). Wrap the flower around the wire and secure it with glue (hot glue gun works well).
4 Take the second scallop circle and score every single scallop, and then cut every other scallop. Fold the scored lines to give it a bit more shape.
5 Make a hole in the center and put it through the florist wire. As you’re assembling, look at the flower’s overall shape.
6 Stretch and snip the florist’s tape first and then wrap it tightly around the flower base to secure. Wrap it all the way down the stem with the tape.

green flower/
1 Cut two scalloped circles out of Greenhouse using the different sized dies of the Classic Scallop Nestabilities set.
2 Cut every single scallop of both of those flowers up to about an half an inch from the center (only one of those cuts goes to the very center).
3 Take the smallest circle and cut the first four scallops into a very thin strips but keep the center uncut so it is easy to keep everything together.
4 Roll the center of the flower to give shape to it. Wrap the flower around the wire and secure it with glue (hot glue gun works well).
5 Take the larger circle and wrap it around twice the bottom of the first one and adjust it so it looks nice.
6 Follow the previous instructions to attach the florists tape.

blue flower/
1 To make the blue flower, follow the instructions for the green flower, but use two dies that are very different in size (for example the largest one and the second smallest one).

light blue flat flower/
1 Cut two same sized scalloped circles out of Fountain using a medium sized die of the Classic Scallop Nestabilities set.
2 Take both of them and score every single scallop, then cut every other scallop so the petals form a heart shape. Then fold on the scored lines to give it a bit more shape.
3 Attach both circles on top of each other, shifting one slightly so the petals do not match and the bottom ones are semi-visible from the top.
4 Stamp the Pom Bitsy image with brown ink on top of extra bit of the Fountain paper and cut a circle out of it (punch or use a circle die).
5 Shape the stamped circle into a dome by using a foam mat and running the Rub-on Roller round the edges. Attach to the center of the flower using foam pads.

light green flat flower/
1 Follow the same instructions as the light blue flower, but use smaller dies and Greenhouse paper. Attach a light green Wisteria button to the center of the flower when finished and attach to the front of a bulldog clip.

lid/
1 Cover the metal lid using Jardin paper.
2 Cover the bulldog clips using Stone Wall paper. Close the wires of the flowers in the clip to hold them upright in place as shown.
3 Use the magnetic tack refills to maintain the clips in place on top of the lid and add elevation to the pieces.

card/
1 Trim the yellow cardstock to 9″x5½” and fold in half to create a 4½”x5½” card.
2 Emboss a 4″x5″ piece of light blue cardstock using a die cutting machine and the flowers from the Cuttlebug Friends set. Sand the top of the embossing to reveal the core color underneath.
3 Cut two butterflies out of Cornflower paper and glue them together by applying glue only in the body center. Add white Opaline half pearls to the body of the butterfly.
4 Cut the oval tag using Sundial paper and stamp a message on top. Attach to the front, right side of the card. Attach the assembled butterfly above and to the right of the tag.
5 Slide card in between the bulldog clips as shown.
6 Assemble all pieces onto the covered lid as shown.
