SUPERSIZED FLOWER GIFT TAGS

Yesterday's rain was the perfect time to get a little crafting done. When I think of a new craft, my mind always goes to creating a cute gift tag because my obsession with gift wrapping and tags is where my passion for paper crafting got started! So up I came with these supersized flower tags, and my favourite part of all - their glittery centres!

Here is an easy Spring/Mother's Day project that's bright, cheerful, and fun: a paper flower bouquet!

UPCYCLED CHRISTMAS BALL FLOWER BOUQUET

Even though all the Christmas decorations have been boxed and put away, I always like to keep a small stash of balls for props for those early Fall photo shoots. I also have an ornament buying problem, for which there is no cure! So when I bought these glittery gold ornaments last season, that came in a mesh bag with a few pinks and maroons, I realized that I have more than enough small baubles, and I can spare a few! Which led to this project. It's actually a cute project f

A BRIGHT & COLOURFUL PAPER "SUMMER" GARLAND

We are officially in summer friends, and I am getting into the spirit with this pretty and vibrant summer garland! Being a paper lover, I always say that the right paper makes the project. This garland wouldn't be so fun and summery if the colours weren't so vivid and bright IMO. Once you've got that down, here's what else you'll need to complete this garland to decorate your home, back deck, office, etc.! TOOLS & MATERIALS: Bright card stock (such as Craft Smith's 12" x 12

DIY SUMMER FLOWER WREATH

When I started making the little flowers you see in today's post, I didn't know it yet that they would collectively come together to make a pretty and colourful summer wreath. Sometimes one small project can lead to something bigger and better, like this one here! To create this beauty wall hanging, you'll need to make sure you have one small tool handy: a 1" heart punch! It does a lot of the work for you. But you'll also need: TOOLS & MATERIALS: Card stock in at least five

PUNCH IT OUT: FLOWER CUPCAKE TOPPERS FOR SPRING

This post is made possible yet again with craft punches (remember those tools that we all used before the Cricut or Silhouette became more popular?) Well as it turns out, I still use mine with every opportunity possible. Today's project uses two craft punches, one being the scalloped heart punch by Fiskars. Who knew it would make such a pretty flower? Me! In fact, heart punches of all shapes and sizes can do just that! Take a look at two previous flower projects using a hear

SIMPLE PAPER FLOWERS WITH TROPICAL VIBES

Long before this craft blog existed, before I was even into crafts full time, I had very little scrapbooking tools to my name. My very first purchase was a large heart craft punch to help me achieve a Valentine's project. Punches have since then become a collector's item in this household, and I especially love a good deal! So when this flower punch that you see before you was discounted at a Michaels store, I snatched it up! I like nothing more than a quick project, but I

ROUND PAPER FLOWERS

Long before I even started this blog, I liked collecting craft punches. They are just so awesome to use and give your projects clean cuts. For this craft, I utilized three circle punches, but if you don't own any, no sweat. Perhaps your cutting skills are far better than mine. I used circles sized at 1", 1 1/2", and 2". See this template. You can also use your Silhouette to make them if you have one, or buy one today at this amazing price! TOOLS & MATERIALS: Card stock:
