Bouquet Bigz Die Orchid Tutorial


As promised, here is my “tutorial” for making orchids from the Bouquet Bigz Die found in the Occasions catalog.  I was in a bit of a hurry when I was making these …so please forgive the the “neatness” factor of my photos!!! Smile My glue gun went a little wild!!  The end result is what counts…right??   So here goes….

   Using the Bouquet Bigz Die, you will need to cut 5 of  the smooth edge petals in Whisper  White    2 large and 3 small.

Add a drop of hot glue

and connect split end to give dimension

Do this to all five petals and cut a Melon Mambo flower center

Then starting with the 3 small petals, connect them together..(wild glue gun!!)

This is why I used hot glue....other adhesives pulled apart

Add the 2 larger petals as shown

Sponge some crushed curry in the center....because it is not smooth, it doesn't look to "pretty" yet!

Fold the center into fourths

Add to orchid center and when it is done they look lovely!

Hawaii Grand Vacation Blog Hop



Whether you are just coming from Tami White's Blog or just arriving...Welcome !!  I am so excited to be participating in the Grand Vacation Achiever's Blog Hop!
                                                         


Now here is my creation…..one of my favorite items from the Occasions Catalog is the Hello Life Project Kit.  I just got done with Stamp Camp this past weekend and all my ladies got to make this kit …but we all got a little creative and made it our own!!  I thought the perfect thing would be to make mine about my upcoming Hawaiian Grand Vacation.  So I used the Project Life Card Collection and Accessory Pack  Let’s Get Away…which is just perfect for this theme.  I  made  a few Orchids  from my Bouquet Bigz Die...all while  using the appropriate Hawaiian inspired colors, Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo throughout the project.  Now I am all set, when I come home, to pop my pictures and mementos in from my wonderful Stampin’ Up! vacation to Waikiki Beach!





Check Back on Sunday and I will have a quick photo tutorial on how to create these orchids.
