How to Make Diane's Spring Blossom
Materials:
Bright white cardstock
(2) colors cardstock from matchmakers
(Blue and mauve colors were used in this case)
Purple print cardstock
Lavender and blue thread
Sewing machine
Stampin’ Up stamp: Tidy Numbers
½” circle paper punch by Marvy
(1) Silly Milly millefiore cane
Spray adhesive by Loctite
Zots by Therm O Web
Glue gun and sticks
Instructions:
Trim bright white cardstock to 4.25 x 5.5”. Also, trim a regular piece of white typing paper to same size. Trim blue cardstock to 2” x 4.25”. Cut mauve-colored cardstock down to 3.5” x 4.25”. Spray back of each piece of cardstock with spray adhesive and lining up with the left edge of white typing paper, adhere blue piece. Then, line up the mauve-colored cardstock with the right side of white paper, slightly overlapping the blue. Cut out ½” circles with the circle punch and adhere them to the page using one medium Zot on each circle. Cut out (7) lopsided rectangles out of orange-colored cardstock and sew the edge of each piece (¼” allowance) with lavender-colored thread. Glue rectangles with Zots to paper so they intersect in the middle. Heat up the glue gun and once it’s nice and hot, add some glue to the backside of your Silly Milly, placing in the middle of your flower. Cut a strip of purple print cardstock to 5.5” x 7/8” and glue to overlap both blue and mauve pieces, lining up with bottom of white cardstock. Using a zig-zag stitch, sew this piece. Using spray adhesive, glue the entire piece to your white cardstock. Then, using the stamp pad (Turquoise), stamp your image from the Tiny Numbers stamp onto the back of the bright white cardstock and add your signature, if desired.
