YNS Fun Friday | Fun With Dies…

TGIF Friends! Is everyone ready for a good weekend? I am! Lots of Easter Egg Hunts going on this weekend! Are you going to one?

We are definitely in the mood for spring and Easter around here. I made some cute Easter projects that I will share next week and I think the flowers that I made on the card below might have to find their way onto a few more projects, too!

I used the WINGS from the Dress Up Fhiona Die Set from YOUR NEXT STAMP to create this flower on the card…

To create this flower you will:

12-14 die cut wings {cardstock or felt work great!}
1 one inch cardstock circle
Adhesive {hot glue is what I used}
Your choice of flower center {Button and twine matted with a cardstock circle is what I used}

Directions:
1. Cut the die cut wings in half
2. Adhere 6-7 of the halves around the edge one side of the 1″ circle
3. Adhere 4-7 of the halves around the center of the other side of the circle
NOTE: Adhering part of the around the edge and part of them around the center creates more of a layered look.
4. Create and adhere your flower center
5. Attach to card. OR, put a pin-back on it and use it as a fun accessory!

I “fluffed up” my petal by curling/bending each of the petals until I got the look that I wanted. I always get asked, so I can’t forget to mention the embossing folder…it’s a Christmas set from Sizzix! My fave…at the moment!

Have fun with this creating your own flowers and have a great weekend! I’ll be back tomorrow with one more SFYTT post for March…don’t miss it!

    What is the name of this embossing folder? I’ve seen you use it a lot and I love it. I searched the Sizzix site for it, but can’t find it.
