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!!!  My glue gun went a little wild!!  The end result is what counts…right??   So here goes….

Bouquet Bigz L Die

Price: $39.95

   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

(a little rough looking)

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 here we come!!!

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.

More Sale-a-bration Choices! Weekly Deals! New Stamp Set!!

Since Blendabilities are no longer available as a Sale-A-Bration redemption item, Stampin' Up! anticipates that the demand on other Sale-A-Bration items will be higher than originally predicted. For that reason, all Sale-A-Bration items (with the exception of stamps) will be available "while supplies last." To help alleviate any inconvenience this may cause, Stampin' Up! has made more items available to redeem for free during these last few weeks of Sale-A-Bration!

While you're shopping, be sure to check out these new Weekly Deals!

Check out this brand new stamp set hot off the presses!!!  JUST KIDDING!

 

Loaded with a lot of SASS…this is a fun one!

Painted Blooms

The Painted Blooms Designer Paper Pack has to be one of my FAVORITE of all time paper packs!!  There is not a sheet I haven't used yet!!  I love this piece the most…perhaps this is what my garden should look like!!!  A girl can wish right???



Anyway…..look what you can make with just one sheet of DSP!!!  Six lovely, quick and easy cards…perfect for any occasion!
To make these cards, just cut 3/4 inch from the top and from the bottom of the sheet of Designer Paper.  Then cut the paper into six even pieces…4 x 51/4 inches.  Layer onto Blackberry Bliss cardstock….add a few Butterflies and you have 6 beautiful cards!



So very pretty!!!
