Last week I was playing around with crepe paper and managed to make some of my own flowers. I liked them enough that I went out a bought a couple more colors of crepe paper and swooned over the pink. So here is a pink card from me (surprise!). I used one of the new Flourishes sets called Lace Edges that features this exquisite lace! For the sentiment I used Flourishes I Love Roses set. I layered Spellbinders™ Labels Five on the top of the card, Spellbinders™ Grand 12″ Lace Border in the middle and Spellbinders™ Labels Four on the bottom. I finished by attaching two leaves from the Spellbinders™ Sunflower Set Two Set.

Here is the video tutorial in case you’d like to make your own flowers:
Thanks for stopping in to see me, I’m still gathering blog candy and hope to have it posted by tomorrow.
Absolutely stunning Becca, the crepe flowers are so soft and delicate, just beautiful!
Oh so lovely. Becca!
These are lovely. Thanks for your tutorials. They are
great for those of us who prefer visual instruction.
Thanks, Becca! Love the crepe paper flowers and your tutorial. This brings back many memories of childhood crafts using crepe paper. Do they still sell crepe paper in the long folded sheets? If so, you could cut your “ribbons” of paper to any width.
This is so pretty. It would be nice for a birthday or wedding even! Thank you for sharing!!! :o)
Amazing! I have many memories of making crepe paper flowers and also streamers for the children’s birthday parties! I think I will have to find some crepe paper and get out my sewing machine (if it ever stops snowing)! Thanks so much for the video.
Thanks for another wonderful card and tutorial… I love the crepe paper flower but never tried to make one. Now I will!! You really, truly are just a wondrous artist in all you do!
Awesome tutorial and what a gorgeous finished product!!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!! God Bless!!
BREATH TAKING! I love pink, I love your card, I love your talent! thank you for sharing!!
What a great idea. I can think of many uses for these beautiful flowers. Thanks.
Absolutely lovely and so simple once you know how to do it! Off to the dollar store to pick up some crepe paper!
Aren’t you clever!! What a wonderful way to use up partial rolls of crepe paper I have from my kids’ birthday parties of year gone by! The flower is fabulous!! If you need to find some you can always get some at the dollar stores.
Becca, Your card (as always) is stunning! The crepe paper flowers are just fantastic………………….now I’d better go buy some crepe paper! TFS!
So lovely! Now I have to go and buy crepe paper AND a sewing machine!!!
BEAUTIFUL! I love the pink! Thank you for the tutorial.
Dear Becca
Your card with the pink papers is stunning — going to watch the video and also try to make them — Thank you so much for your tutorial.
Best Wishes Joyce SA
Fabulous!! I love it. Now there will be a run on crepe paper and the stores won’t understand why the sudden interest . LOL
Love your video on the crepe paper flowers. Looks so easy and what a great 3D effect on one’s card. Your video was very easy to follow, and now I will have to make a trip to the store. Glad to hear that the dollar store sells it, too, which means I will get more colors. Thanks again for sharing your great idea!

Fabulous idea using an old product. Hmmmmm now I wish I hadn’t thrown away all that crepe paper when I retired from teaching. Oh well, I’ll just add something else to my crafting material stash.
This is just so lovely!! Thank you for the tutorial, too. I’ve made these flowers so many years ago, I wouldn’t have remembered how without your tutorial. I plan to make one of these for my Mom. She went blind this past year but still enjoys getting my cards. I like to make her cards with lots of dimension so she can feel and still enjoy.
Becca,
Beautiful card & Great tutorial. I will be using this idea
on my daughters wedding shower invites. Thanks
Many many blessings,
~~Diane~~
Wow girl!!!!!! These are just gorgeous and I can’t wait to try it. You are one so talented lady dear and I soooooooo enjoy visiting your blog
God Bless you Dear

Thanks for your great tutorial. Have made flowers in the past with crepe paper but don’t really remember the technique used, so thanks for the memory. Lovely on your cards with the hearts. tfs
Good evening, Becca – such a simple technique but what amazing results – a beautiful card. Thank you for the tutorial.
Thanks for the wonderfully clear tutorial! I love flowers of all kinds, and these are beautiful. Thanks for the idea!
Loved the video..if you cut off the excess paper with a Fiskars paperedgers your flower will look like a carnation. Just another cool way to use your video.
A beautiful tutorial, Becca…thank you

This brings back memories of going to my Grandma’s and everyone getting together to make crepe paper flowers for Memorial Day.
Couldn’t wait until I was old enough to help.

Hi Becca –
Wonderful tutorial! We must be on the same wavelength. I was out at the store on Saturday and picked up a roll of pink crepe paper. I had no idea what I was going to do with it, but it just looked so pretty. Subconsciously I must and been channeling you – LOL!
Elaine Allen
pretty flower and love your card design!
Such a beauty!!! TFS your tutorial!!!
Such a cute idea. Thanks for sharing!!
Your crepe paper flower is so cute. I have some black and gold crepe paper yet in the cupboard from our girls’ high school graduation. I’m going to have to give this a try. Oh wouldn’t black crepe paper flowers be great on an “over the hill” type card? Like you said, the possibilities are endless! Thanks for sharing this fun little flower.
What a beautiful card! I love the flower, thanks for the video instructions.
Another wonderful tutorial. I love how delicate your crepe paper flowers look.
What a beautiful card! Thank you for the tutorial on flowers I want to do this with my daughter.
Thanks for sharing
God Bless,
Pam

Hi Becca,
*LOVE* this tutorial! I’ve done this technique with ribbon but not with crepe paper – what a fantastic idea. Thanks for sharing it with us.
This is a stunning card, I just love pinks. And thanks for the video, I am a visual person and this was excellent. You should do more :) :)
Thanks for including the tutorial! I can’t wait to try this!
Wow! Thank you for sharing the crepe paper flower tutorial with me/us. Tomorrow, I am going to ask my mom how to stitch a long stitch by hand. If I keep finding awesome tutorials like this one, I am going to have to get a sewing machine!
Thanks so much!
