Great class!! It is great to learn how to create many different looks with one flower and die stamp collection. it makes each collection more versatile. Each look was beautiful in itself. Then each one that you made built on the previous look. The colors are so bright and vibrant as well. Learning to add the stamens was a great added bonus. I always feel that every class that I have taken, whether online or in person, is designed to help all levels of paper crafters! ~Dawn Kuhn
It is amazing how many different ways to make flowers with the same sets. I also learned why some of my flowers flatten out and how to make them stay closed up for the bud look. Thank you~Kathy Wachter
I have been making flowers for awhile. In the class I discovered that I need to make things simpler. It really only take a small amount of pressure and no need to crush them up so much. Your flowers are flatter and my are have more pointed at the bottom. The simple techniques to make beautiful flowers. I didn’t know how to do the Stamens. I will be doing more of them. Thanks for getting me to the next level.~Jeanette Bradshaw
Have a wonderful and creative day! Much Love, Emma Lou

Cut 2 pieces of blue snowflake sky paper 2 7/8” x 6” and one 5 7/8” x 6” blue snowflake sky paper for the inside of card. Cover the 6 x 5 7/8” white cardstock with the blue paper then die cut a tag in the center but not all the way cut, stop about 1/2” from the bottom of tag (place top cutting plate at the point where you want it to stop cutting). Punch 1/16” holes at the top of tag “door” and above the opening about 5/8”. Insert 2 brads, one in each hole. Place small rubber band under top brad and add a bit of glue to keep it in place, this will act as a closure when pulled over the bottom brad. In the center of the card base glue a decorative penguin pond scene that will show when the “door” is open. Cut 2 Starry Night Decorative die borders, glue 1 to the card base center and cut the other 1 in half then glue 1 half to each side (glue these borders on before gluing paper on so that bottom edges of border are sandwiched in-between).

Cut 2 Fleur Border Basic “hills” out of white cardstock make a small slit in each hill to insert large candy cane then glue 1 to each side of the inside of card. Cut a piece of white cardstock 12 X 1 1/2" then tear the top edge and glue it to the bottom of card (when gluing hills and ground snow, cut where the score lines are so that they don’t interfere with the fold).

Instructions: Score and fold a 12” x 6” piece of white card at 6”. Place the plain semi-circle die so that it over laps the fold by approximately .5” and die cut through the 2 layers of card. Turn the die over and cut again to give a circular card base with a flat top.
Die cut a plain circle using white card and a plain circle of paper from the collection. Adhere these to the card base, the circle will overhang the fold at the top of the card.
Die cut another white circle and, using the decorative die, die cut into the centre of the white circle. Turn the die over and repeat to complete the decorative circle.
Edge the white circle with terracotta tile ink. Sponge glue over the circle and sprinkle with frosting powder. Allow to dry and then add to the card using dries clear glue.
Stamp 2 candy canes on to white paper using real red ink and adhere to the card at a slight angle. Diecut the tag and tie with thin twine then adhere to the card using hot glue.
Stamp the penguin using stazon black ink, colour using kuretake pens (peacock blue, wine red, pale green). Diecut and shape using the flower shaping kit and adhere to the card using hot glue.
