Spring has Sprung?? LOL

Hi everyone! Things have still been hectic here, but I am finally getting some time to scrap. Today I started making some flowers again (it is that time of the year after all, right?)

I was playing around with some primas, stacked them and added a paper flower that I rolled. I actually like the way this one came out. Definitely goes well on the layout I am working on too! That’s always a plus!

Then I did these flowers. I did heart flower like this not too long ago, and figured, heck.. I’d try it with circles (since I am to lazy to pull my cricut out and cut the hearts).. The difference is instead of 17 hearts, I used 6 circles AND I am posting a tutorial here for this one as well. I am actually pretty happy with these ones as well.. and the pink one will go great with a card I am making.

You will need

• 1 strip of double sided paper ( I used 12 inches long by 3 inches wide to cut 6 circles 2 inches in diameter.)
• 1 pen or marker
• Brads
• Scissors
• A circle template
• Ink

1. Using your template, trace 6 circles on the paper strip & then cut the circles out.

2. Ink the edges ( I do both sides because they both show)

3. Roll/ fold each piece of paper. I find it’s best to fold the circle in half, then in half and then to fold the edges inward or outward.

4. After you are done rolling/folding, open each one and then place a brad through the center of one of the circles. Continue to do so with each circle until you have them all stacked on top of eachother.

5. Now that you have that done.. the next thing to do is to fold the paper the same way you did when you folded/rolled it before. Fold the top layer first, then the second one over that and so on..

Keep going until all the circles are folded, overlapping each other.Once you are done, you can pull the petals apart a little, and this is what you have.. . A pretty little flower

Have fun!
