I'm a slightly obsessed...

It's true, they are on everything that I have been making lately. Lucky for you all, I'm going to share my obsession with you. Warning though, they are addicting. I'm not really sure what a good name for these would be. I think I'll call them 3 dimensional pinwheel flowers. Why? Just because that is what they remind me of. With the little flap of each petal being folded up that is what they kind of look like to me.

Here is a card that I made earlier today featuring one of these flowers (made entirely with Kitchen Spice)...

Want to know how to make your own? Check out the following video...



I'd love to see what you all do with your flowers! Thanks for taking a peek!

Create an accordion medallion

Hello! Kristen here with a little tutorial for you on making an accordion fold so that you can make an accordion medallion. I used Bobunny's Kitchen Spice collection to make my card.

You will need:

A card blank

a scoring blade and ruler or Scor It board

glue

glue dots

various papers/etc for your card.

First you will cut a 12x2 inch strip of paper.

Then you will score at 1/8 inch increments down the entire 12 inch strip.

Every other score, you will flip the paper, so that you will score the front, then the back and so on with your scoring.

 

When the entire strip is scored, gently fold the paper along the scores back and forth, in accordion style.

 

When the paper has been folded, take each end, apply a thin strip of glue and glue them together. Let dry a few minutes, then gently force the paper to fan out by pushing gently down at the same time on the bottom, while gathering the folds together at the top. This takes some practice, but will eventually come together.

Then add glue dots to a small scrap of paper, and place over the center point of the accordion.

 

You can now place your accordion on your card, as I have done here. I usually place something in the middle of the accordion to cover over the middle, so that the glue dots do not show.

On the eighth day of Christmas....

I don't know about the rest of you, but it's that time of year when we have a ton of holiday parties to attend. Which means...the inevitable question...what to give the hostess as a little gift, a thank you for the invite and for opening up her home?

Well, what I have started doing is making up card sets. Usually generic in their theme or often a theme that gets used frequently like thank you and happy birthday.

These card sets always seem to be so appreciated. Cards are expensive and what's better than to have some homemade ones on hand when needed? I made this set of cards using the Kitchen Spice line and some stamps in my stash.

Products Used:

Kitchen Spice

Kitchen Spice Cloves

Kitchen Spice Sesame

Kitchen Spice buttons
Double dot ribbon-tutu
