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!

Petit Doll project pt. 2

2nd phase of my Suzi petite doll project. The background and girl have changed quite a bit. Gonna let it sit overnight and attempt some 3-D embellishments and the "shabify-ing" process tomorrow.

vampire book

vampire book Originally uploaded by saunjune This is a vampire themed chipboard mini book I taught at Scrappers Edge last night. We used the bind-it-all to assemble the book and Tim Holtz On the Edge dies to create the shaped edges. The drippy blood is drips of Glimmer Glam paint. I printed vampire quotes onto red vellum and embellished with velvet paper swirl punches, velvet photo corners, lace and lots of bling! It was a fiendishly good time! (The scary little kids are mine, dressed up for halloween 2 years ago).
