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

supplies:
12×12 Wisteria: Pond, Fountain, Finch, Greenhouse, Jardin, Stone Wall, Sundial, Cornflower
Wisteria Bitsy Pom stamp
Wisteria buttons
Opaline Platinum half pearls
BasicGrey Magnetic Tacks (refill)
BasicGrey Rub-On Roller
light blue and yellow cardstock
bulldog clips
florist wire (12″ lengths)
florist tape
metal lid
self-adhesive pearls
Nestabilities:

• petitie scallop circles (large)
Cuttlebug dies:
• combo friends forever
• butterfly combo
• tag alongs

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.

lid/
1 Cover the metal lid using Jardin paper.

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.

In Scrapbooking, most of us are always many months behind. So should have been scrapped a week after February 14^th, we are just getting to now! But whether your just getting to your valentines pictures, or just want to display your loved ones, this mini-album from Bo Bunny, is the perfect kit.  The Kit uses Bo Bunny’s My Darling paper line. You know how much I love a versatile project. And this mini-album definitely falls under that category. Another thing I love about this album is how many embellishments you can add. Ribbon, buttons, and chipboard galore!  So many cute little flowers really make the pages pop, and add that much needed 3D effect.  Choose 6-9 photos about ones you love, or the day of love!
