Faux Prima Flowers



I am using my Cricut machine to make Prima style flowers using cone shaped coffee filters and coloring them w/ various inks. They cut very flat, and then I add dimension by scoring and embossing them by hand. A good way to get just the right color flower for a project.

What a resourceful idea! I have tons of Prima's, but, I swear, I *never* have the right color, so I am always coloring a white/off-white one. Thank you!!!

Thanks for the cut file! I made some befor with punches, then I scord them on a foam mat and I punched my scoring stylus through the senter to add more dimention. I never thought about the coffee filters though and I have many since I make books with them. PS welcome to the SCAL user group!

The view from our room!

Enjoying a relaxing vacation in South Lake Tahoe.  Our room looks out over the town of Minden.   :)  Love the patchwork landscape, like a distant land-quilt.

Fun with Memory Glass and Frames

Here is a quick fun little project using Memory Glass and Memory Frames!  I trapped a peacock feather between two pieces of Memory Glass, temporarily secured with tape. (just a couple small pieces of tape to keep the glass and feather in place).  I trimmed the feather so that no part of it  extended past the glass.  I then carefully inserted the glass sandwich into the memory frame while removing the temporary tape.  Tah-Dah!  Quick and easy pendant gift!  This project took less than 10 minutes to complete, and looks pretty fabulous!
