Stampin' Up Scallop Punch Art Roses - Tutorial

I have been in the craft room again this afternoon... Creating something that isn't so clean and simple!
Are you surprised?

I created this for the CR84FN Colour Challenge, which was to use Pale Pink, Medium Violet and Gray. 

I have also put together a tutorial for you, on how to make the very cute little roses....These are easy to make, but are a little fiddly...

1. Supplies- Scrap Card stock 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch, Scissors, pencil, strong tape or glue, and a bone folder.
2. Punch out a scallop circle, drag it across the bone folder a few times to make it easier to roll.
3. Draw a swirl on the scallop circle.
4. Cut on the line of your swirl.
5. Starting in the middle, start rolling the cut piece in on itself. 
6. Once you have gotten to the end, let it spring open a little. You can leave it fairly tight, or loose, which ever look you prefer
7. Put a small amount of tape or glue on the loose tail, hold in place.
8. I have pushed the outer petals out a little to give a little more definition, then you're done!

I hope this tutorial has helped, and was easy to follow, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to post a comment, or email me

Happy Stamping!

Congratulations Card

This evening, my little sister found out that she will be heading into university this year, to study a bachelor of arts, so, to help celebrate, I made this card for her

It is pretty much a direct case of a card that I found here. I love my owl punch, but it I find I don't have the patience some people have for piecing together 101 small punched shapes... I loved the penguin as soon as I saw it, as Bec "Hi Bec" loves penguins... she has a whole room full of the things... 

I am also entering this into 2 challenges tonight, the first being the Simon Says Stamp Bingo challenge, which was to pick 3 techniques/items on the list... I used Punches/Diecuts, Wet and Dry Embossing and Ribbon. 

The other challenge I'm entering this into is the Stampin' Royalty Anything with Wings Challenge. 

I'm going to pop this in the mail tomorrow, so hopefully she receives it before the weekend!

Congratulations again lil one :-)
