Button Hole Tutorial

Stampin' Up Heart Framelit Flower

I'm often asked where my ideas come from and, of course, I'm inspired by lots of different things and different people.

As a crafter (and I'm sure I'm not alone) sometimes I see something I like and I "dissect" it, I think to myself...

"how was that made?"
"I could make something like that if I just ...and I could use..".

This project began a little like that.

I saw someone making paper flowers, they had printed the basic shape from a CD, which is not really my thing,  the basic shape was a heart which started me thinking maybe I could make something similar with the heart framelits.

Convention was coming up soon (it was last November, it's taken me a while to get round to writing this) and I wanted to make some wow swaps for my Stampin' Up team members. I took the idea about the hearts and some inspiration from the button hole my little boy wore at my sisters wedding. 

He was such a cute ring bearer!!

So my idea worked out (they don't always) and I am was pleased with the end result, as was the team, at least I think so.

The video tutorial is not one of my best as I haven't made one of these buttonholes since the convention but you should be able to follow it ok.

Paper Flower Arrangement

Just love these paper floweres in the in colours

I'm not much of a florist but I made this little arrangement using the in colours.

The little vase I picked up at Dunelm mill for £2.99 and I already had the glass pepples.

I used the flower daisies die and layered them up, then just stuck them to the stems, which I picked up at the craft shop. Easy.
