Have you noticed the trend of flowers on projects lately? I have, and I’m loving it. When it comes to embellishments I’m always looking for something different, cute, and easy to make. Take a look at this layout made with handmade tissue paper flowers I made. It was so quick and easy!

This is what you’ll need:

- 3 to 4 sheets of white or color tissue paper
- pencil
- scissors

Step 1:

With all sheets together in a stack, free hand the shape and size you would like (photo below). I made 3 different sizes for more dimension.

Step 2: Holding all sheets in hand, cut out your flowers  (photo below).

Step 4: Now layer your flowers. Add button, brad, or any other embellishment to the center of your flower.

** To give your tissue flowers a different look you can ink, glimmer mist or even paint your tissue paper before starting***

 

 

As I play catch up, I want to share some wonderful examples of all the things you can do with our November kits. First up is Grace Tolman and our brand new “Add-On Kit with a Kick.”

“This page was inspired by all the earth tones on the paper and  embellishment plus the jillibean soup paper with fun trees on it. I added ribbons and date ticket here too. I cut out the trees and used them as embellishments on the page. I cut out strips from the JBS notepads and handwrote my journaling.”

“I loved all the papers in the kit that I decided to show them off here. I picked two that I cut out in pieces and then punched out circles for the rest and created the design on the left with them. I also punched out more notepads into circles and then handwrote my journaling. To make my green title stand out from a bold designed paper, I painted brown on the paper and then adhered my title. I connected the blocks of paper with the circles with a strip of ric rac ribbon and added flowers and two owls.”

Grace also created a card set with some of the contents of the November Add-on Kit with a Kick.

I used a lot of the embellishments here and created a visual triangle with the yellow stars.

I used a journaling sticker as an element to lead the eye to the card title. I also added flowers for the feminine touch.

I adhered a big journaling sticker onto cardstock, trimmed it and cut in into two pieces. Making the edges point to the butterfly.
