Precious Petals and a Video
I was daydreaming about what summer fun crafts my granddaughters would like to do when they get here and decided paper flowers would be just the ticket! It all started with a lone black and white paper flower that was given to me on Mother’s Day from a crafty salesperson in San Francisco. It sits proudly next to my computer and I stare at it everyday. So I decided to translate that into something using some of the many papers and stamps in this month’s Featured Stamps collection. Here’s what I came up with!
Project by Sally Traidman. Click HERE for complete supplies and instructions.
Aren’t those just too much fun? You can stamp and cut individual petals, or punch and stamp HUGE flowers to make it go faster. Adhere with glue dots and twist together with wire and floral tape and you’ve got flowers! And I guarantee this bouquet will not wilt on you, and no water is required!
For today’s video, I asked Lisa to dazzle you with her brilliance. She loves making videos and I am too busy going gaga over all the GORGEOUS hydrangeas out east on my vacation! Thanks, Lisa!!
Hi everyone - Lisa here! I was so inspired by Sally’s paper flowers that I had to try and make some too — only this time out of tissue paper! I think these would make great table decorations for an afternoon tea with friends, don’t you?

I love using stamps like the Variety and Quality (CG190) to create a background and an embellishment all on the same card — it really ties everything together. And how fun would it be to receive a card with the Girlfriend (G5416) stamp?
Thanks Lisa, and thanks for stopping by today! Come back tomorrow, we’ll be announcing our monthly theme for July!

So pretty! You just showed me something I new how to do but haven’t even thought about for many decades. Peonies are my favorite flowers and I must go and try this soon. Thank you so very much for the beautiful memory and for sharing your beautiful work. I hope you have a beautiful weekend.

Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial. I can’t wait to try making these flowers. I actually loved the large one you showed that had a lot of layers, it was stunning. Who am I kidding they were all beautiful, large and small. I love that card you made Lisa.
I was also blown away by the awesome arrangement of flowers that Sally made. Wow is all I can say about those! You girls sure know how to make some beautiful projects.

Thankyou so much Lisa for taking the time to make a video for us to learn how to make the gorgeous tissue paper flowers with a stamped center. Great idea.
