Feeling Sentimental

March Stamp Club Card

In January I was looking for some card ideas for my Dad's birthday.  I came across THIS on Splitcoaststampers card and absolutely loved it.  Plus I pretty much all the supplies which is a bonus.  Michelle Zindorf has a great blog with very detailed tutorials.  I basically followed her tutorial on making the main image of the the card.  So rather then rewriting the instructions, you can check it out for yourself. The card I made for my dad was about 6" x 4-1/2" whereas the card shown above is a regular A2 size:  4-1/4 x 5-1/2.

Rolled Paper Flowers on Sycamore Street

The Second February Stamp Club Card

To make the Rolled Paper Flowers I think I followed THIS TUTORIAL on youtube.  There are so many out there!  There are some other neat tutorials  that would be kind of fun to try.  Just slight versions of the same thing:  HERE and HERE.

The one thing I found when making these flowers is that the bigger the circle and wider your spiral cut, the bigger your flower will be.  Just experiment.  It's fun!!

The flowers shown in the photo use the 2-1/2" and 1-3/4" circle punches.  Don't forget to add a few glue dots at the bottom of the flower and then stick the flap over it to keep the flower together.

By the way, this will not fit in a regular envelope.
