10 QUICK AND EASY FLOWERS FROM CIRCLE PUNCHES - MUST SEE!!

 

If you have a bunch of circle punches, grab them and follow along with me to create some stunning abstract flowers! 

In this video I make 10 different types of flowers and I'll have to make another video (or 2 !) with more of the ideas I have had, including some more natural looking flowers and foliage.

You only need basic tools and no dies at all. You'll be able to change these up to match your own craft projects and finish them with a variety of different embellishments. 

Some of them will look best with double sided paper but most of them look great in single sided patterns. I'd love you to watch along and let me know what you think!

I have used gems, pearls, drops and glitter glue in the centres of mine but you can use whatever you have to hand. I hope you enjoy watching and most of all creating :)

Thanks for looking :)

Happy crafting :)

Make a Spring Arrangement with Wooden Rabbit

 

Don't you just love Spring! Everywhere you turn, there's new life sprouting! A lovely friend gave me some moss and little violas from her garden last week and I just knew what I was going to make with them!

You can see how I made this in my vhdeo

I left some twigs loose in the centre of the arrangement so that i could change the little flower pot size and shape if I wanted later in the year.

I've been munching my way through a bag of pistachios over the the last week and couldn't bear to part with the shells....how sad is that!! I thought they looked like little tulips :) However, when I started to make this arrangement, somehow, they became ears for a little bunny lol.

Happy crafting until my next video - which will most likely be paper crafting again :)

DOUBLE Z FOLD CARD WITH DOUBLE POP UPS plus bonus punch craft feature

 

I have made another card which coordinates with a baby gift I bought recently. This time I have chosen red gingham and ivory luxury embossed cotton paper. You could make this in any colour and use embossing folders to match.

You can see how I made it in my video

If you enjoy watching, don't forget to subscribe, like and leave a comment as this all helps promote my channel for others to see. 

This card folds flat for postage but you could add 3D elements and make a box to fit it. 

I wanted to make a little bear to match the dress but didn't have the correct colour of paper/card so I punched out in ivory and added colour with alcohol markers. I used only simple circles and ovals with a little added bow. 

An alphabet punch set or die set is so handy. I customised the card with the name of the new baby girl.

Thanks so much for looking :)

10 FUN IDEAS WITH CIRCLE PUNCHES

 

I have delved back into my older stash in a quest to give some of my YouTube subscribers some fresh ideas with generic craft "tools" which they might already have in their craft rooms. Today I've grabbed a bunch of different sized circle punches and got to work. This was so much fun! I have a list the length of my arm but have narrowed it down to the first 10 for my video which you can see here..

If you thought you needed dies to create cards like these, think again! 

It's quite a long video but I hope you enjoy watching. I will have more videos showing specific fun things to make with Circle Punches but these will be shorter (I hope!)

Today's 10 ideas include a things which you may have thought required dies, one where you do not even see any circles but they are needed for the mechanism, and one where I have used different sizes of circles to create a template which can be used multiple times to create a beautiful sky background....and more!

I'd love you to watch the video and subscribe to my channel (that's free!). Please do leave me a little comment on my video to let me know which was your favourite :)

Many thanks for watching :)

MAKE A TREE BRANCH FAIRY HOUSE with twig ladder

 

I had been gathering some bits and pieces from nature walks and finally put them all together and made another fairy house from the branch of a tree. 

I used a wood slice for the base, added the branch on top and decorated with twigs, fir cones, beech nuts, pebbles, moss and sycamore wings. 

You can see how I made it in my video here

Z FOLD POP UP CARD

This is my latest video

I hope you can adapt this style of card to whatever papers and dies you have in your stash. If you do not have a die cutting machine, this would also work perfectly with rectangles instead of the ovals. As I mentioned in the video, fussy cutting is a great way to get the maximum from your paper pads.

Enjoy :)

HONEYCOMB HEART POP UP CARD with dog made from simple shapes

 

Today's card is another kind of Valentine card but you can easily adapt this by using any other symmetrical shape that you like.

You can see how I made this in my video here

The heart is on the inside of the card and I have used simple die and punch shapes to create a cute little dog on the front of the card.

Thanks so much for looking :)

VALENTINE APERTURE POP UP CARD

 

Another card from me today, which can be adapted to suit any occasion. I have seen similar cards with a pop up circle aperture but thought it would look beautiful with a heart. You can use any shape of aperture you like :)

You can see how I made these cards in my video here
