snow flowers
Posted on | December 9, 2009 | 12 Comments
We had our first snow this past Saturday, and the snow on the tree gave me the idea for this snow flowers. I thought Danielle Young‘s newest holiday digital kit, Oh, Joy! (Collaboration with Cinzia) would make the beautiful flowers and pot with Kelleigh Ratzlaff‘s Cupcake Box Template.
I saw this gorgeous felt rose bud bouquet last week, and I immediately thought about having another baby girl (urmmm… like I could easily pick the gender, hehe). I would have loved to make the bouquet for her first birthday party. This felt bouquet put my pom-pom topiary tree that I made for Bailey’s 1st b-day party to shame. But, nah… I can’t even handle two kids that I already have. Hehe.
Printed Oh, Joy! digital papers on Epson Double-Sided Matte Inkjet Paper. Punched it out with Stampin’ Up! Scallop Circle punch.
Spiral cut.
Condition the flowers with a round pen or stylus pen so it can roll/bend easily. This way you won’t get the creases in the paper. The pen I’m using on the photo came with American Crafts rub ons.
Curl the edge using the pen. Roll from the outside of the circle to form the flower.
Form the bud, and glue the bottom. I used hot glue gun.
Glue the center. I used the tweezer to hold the center while the glue dried.
I put 3″ styrofoam inside the cupcake and attached the flowers with the hot glue gun. White flowers in the center are from a crafting store (dry/silk flower section).
I used the wrapper from Cupcake Box template to put the windows with ornaments. Window frames, ornaments, and the green brads (Added Glossy Accents on top) are from the Oh, Joy! kit.
I cut out the circles with a knife, and the edge was not smooth even after I filed it. So I put Glossy Accents and sprinkled some Snow Glitter
Added some sparkling glitter.
This Christmas flowers in the cupcake pot will look beautiful in my living room. =)
Thank you!

Love those!! So lovely! I’m still not sure if I’ll put a tree in my living room this year because of my 18 months old. You give me great ideas to decorate, I wish I had enough time!!!!!
I like to look at what you do anyway. And enjoy the tutorials very much.

This is AMAZING! I’m so glad Kelleigh shared it on her blog. I will have to go get that punch, I’ve seen it used for lots of projects I love and it’s scallops are nicer than the one I have. Thanks for the great tutorial, it really is so creative, unique, and lovely.

I’m trying to make those flowers and they aren’t working right for me! Argh! Of course, I’m not using a hot glue gun–that could be it.
It’s out in the garage with the sleeping dog, though, so I don’t want to go get it. I’m still playing around, though. I love how your finished project looks!
