I’m so tickled to share this morning! I’m sharing the flower tutorial you all have been requesting and there was no better way to show those flowers off than with a new Quietfire Design sentiment – a cuddly, lovely, romantic one at that!! As you know, I’ve been so smitten with scrunched paper flowers as of late. They are so easy to make and after seeing the inspiration on Pinterest, I set about to figure out how to ease them into my workflow. To me the key is to have a nicely balanced die template that will allow you to work with the wet paper without tearing the petals off and for this I’m using Spellbinders Garden Blooms (by A Gilded Life).
My 6″ square card features another outstanding set of new stamps by my friend Suzanne Cannon with Quietfire Design, it’s called The Best Kiss. This is definitely for the heart throb in your life and I say its a promising candidate for new found romance, wedding and anniversary or just to show love. It’s my first time to try out a couple of new Spellbinders that have been sitting on the shelf – the background is Spellbinders Labels One Card Front. I embellished the Card Front with Spellbinders Labels One and the accent piece from Spellbinders Imperial Square (there are four pieces, they are all turned upside down and glued behind Labels One).
So here’s the video showing how I made the flowers:
| CRAFT SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: Quietfire Design – The Best Kiss Craft Paper: Neenah Classic Crest – Natural White – 80lb smooth, Bazzill, Papertrey Ink Ink: Versafine – Onyx Black Accessories: Spellbinders Labels One Card Front, Spellbinders Labels One, Spellbinders Imperial Square Spellbinders Garden Blooms (by A Gilded Life), Recollection Pearls, May Arts Silk Ribbon, clear embossing powder |
Thanks so much for stopping by! I actually made a card with the flowers and ribbon shown in the video and I’m hoping I can share it next week! So who’s putting flowers on their list of things to try next?
Question Parking Lot:
In case you wondered . . .
I used Papertrey Ink paper for the blooms on the card above. For the video I used Coredinations – you should do fine with almost any paper you choose :-)
I prefer to dry petals over night but they can be dried with a heat gun if you’re impatient. The heat gun makes the petals more brittle in my opinion.
No snipping needed on top petal if you want an open hollow in the center of your flower. Snip the center, roll and glue to fill in that hollow with top petal.
The extra petal I made in the video looks much like the spritzed petals I made except the coloring is more subtle and the overall color is the color of the original paper.
Hi Becca. Oh what a beauty! I love the NEW Spellbinders Labels Card Front and your gorgeous Scrunched Flowers! A Great tutorial too! Thank you! :)
Nice tutorial. I’ve been trying to figure out how the flowers turned out to have that crepe paper look, now I know they are not that hard to make. Thanks so much, Becca

Thanks for this tutorial. Lovely card.
great video. I realized I haven’t seen on of your videos in awhile. you make everything look so easy. thanks for sharing with us. what a great way to add dimension to all of our flowers.
Gorgeous card Becca. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Morning Becca, Thank you, thank you, thank you, for this tutorial. I adore these flowers, I would never have known how to do this without your tutorial, the outcome is stunning, as is your card showcased here too.
My new Great Granddaughter, Sophia Grace, was born yesterday (Sunday) at 6.23 pm weighing 7 lb 1 oz. I can hardly wait for them to come home so that I can have a ‘hold’, but will have to wait as don’t think they will be home today. My Daughter sent me a piccie by text the minute that she had been born, adorable.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Becca

Take care

Thank you so much for sharing the tutorial, I have seen something similar done with specialty papers and it is good to know it can be done with regular paper. Beautiful background and framing of the sentiment on your card too!
Stunning work Becca, I will have to watch the video later though. Fabulous sentiment, so original.
Love & Hugs

Becca,
Your card is awesome. Your flowers are beautiful. They look so professional, I hope I can make them as well. Thank you so much for the tutorial. I can’t wait to try them out.
Thank you so much for the great tutorial, will you please make the other flower as well I want to purchase both dies
Beautiful! You make it look so simple. I don’t think I will buy another pre-made flower again when I can custom make them like this. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. Very much appreciated.
Looks like a lot of work, but the out come is well worth it. I’m going to true this. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome. So happy to have this great video to start my week showing these lovely flowers. I’m flower challenged, so this one was most helpful. Would also love to see you do a video showing how to make an envelope that would work to mail these dimensional cards. I think that’s one reason I don’t try harder with flowers like this, because I never have an envelope that works well to mail a card with this kind of dimensional embellishment. Have a great week Becca. Hugs & Blessings.
Love ALL of your stuff! Just amazing. Thanks so much from those of us who don’t have the imagination but can copy!!!!
Fantastic flowers! Thank you so much for the great video!
Great video, Becca, and gorgeous! card. Love the soft colors in your beautiful style. I have made similar flowers before, but never turn down a new video……might learn something new! Lol. Thank you so much for sharing your technique.
Your card is stunning!
Fabulous tutorial!! Thanks so much for sharing, I can’t wait to make some of These!!!
Great technique, thanks!
Thanks so much Becca, these are gorgeous. I shall try this with one of the flower dies I already have to see if it will work in a similar fashion. Hugs Christine xx
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial, Becca. I really appreciate your generous sharing with the paper crafting community. You are such an inspiration.
Great tutorial, Becca. I love the look of the scrunched flowers. I’ve made a type of scrunched flowers before, but never with the petals scrunched like you did and I like them!! Using a foil pie plate is smart, too.
Thank you for the fantastic video! It was very helpful. I will definitely be trying that technique on my flowers.
GREAT video! THANK YOU for sharing your amazing work!! The flowers are so totally cool! Just wish they didn’t ‘scrunched’ in the mail!! The receiver has no idea the true value of the beauty..
Thanks for the wonderful video for making those gorgeous flowers. Going to try that this afternoon!
Thanks so much Becca for this video …I am going to try this ASAP!
Another beautiful card ,

Thank you for posting this lovely video. Your flowers have been driving me wild trying to figure out if it was a specialty paper or what. They looked like they would be hard to make, but looks pretty easy now. Maybe I have a die that would work. I don’t have that one. Or I may just have to buy that one with some others you have shown us lately. Thanks again and God Bless.
Hello Becca,
Thank you so much for this tutorial I shall definitely be trying these, as your card is beautiful.

I always hate to request a video Becca, cause you do so much for us already. But, I was thrilled that alot of your viewers did and that you did make a video tutorial on these. Thanks so much.

Hi Becca, Beautiful card, and a great video on how to make the flowers, Thank you so much for sharing, all the best, Cheers Anna.
Beautiful and imaginative as ever Becca. Thanks for the tutorial
Hi Becca,
Your cards are so beautiful and your tutorials are terrific! Is that purple background layer raised? If so, is it only raised behind the layered sentiment? It looks so beautiful, but so delicate! Thanks.
Thanks so much for the video tutorial, Becca! I loved how you used the excess ink and water to colour your ribbons. The flowers are beautiful as is the card.
Hugs

Thanks so much for the tutorial. Your work is so beautiful. I have several flower punches, a machine I can cut some flowers, and plenty of the pie tins(never throw anything away lol). Thanks also for the idea of color matching the ribbon.
Hi Becca. Thank you so much for your video tutorial. I am always at a loss when making flowers and you have now opened up a new flowery world to me. Thank you so much. xx
