Spring Doodles - Anything Goes and a Lovely new release of beautiful stamp sets

Hi my dear friends

Hope all are well were you are!  We have decided to take a mini break and go to the North of Scotland. We decided to stop at Blair Caste which is a small village in Blair Atholl. We had such a nice time. So peaceful and relaxing. Gone for small walks and nice meals. I am still having such a hard time with my knee since I fell of the stairs in November last year.  I took my Parchment Craft with me and made some lovely projects. I love the fine lace and white work of Parchment!

True Blue - Tutorial - Making flowers with Dryer Sheets

Hi to all my dear friends,

Hope you are all very well.  In this day and age we all like recycling! So you would like to now that you can recycle your Dryer Sheets and make flowers and butterflies. 

You can scroll down and find my tutorial on how I made my Dryer sheet Flowers 

This  Months Technique Challenge across at 

SweetStamps.com!!! 

Dryer Sheet Flowers

The monthly challenge at SweetStamps Challenges is focused on techniques

You have a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate to spend on lovely nice goodies at the 
SweetStamps.com

You get an extra chance to win when you use a SweetStamps image on your creation.

**All of these techniques and more can be found on the TUTORIALS page of our website** 

Well here is my take on it with a tutorial!


I made a 8 X 8 Card front with a Teal Blue card stock
Layered with DP
Distressed the edges with Faded Jeans from


These flowers were made of used Dryer Sheets
There is 4 layers of used dryer sheets and then layered on DP die cut flower
Keeping together with a Pearl Brad
I used 3 different DP die cut flowers
I cut some leaves out of a SweetCuts die from SweetStamps.com 


Tutorial 

Used Dryer Sheet Flowers

Do not throw your used Dryer Sheets After Tumble Drying you cloths
Keep them and you can make Flowers

I used the plain circles die cut from Spellbinders
Cut 4 different size circles out of the Dryer Sheet

You could also just cut circles or shapes by hand
Just as long you have more than 3 layers to form your flower

I took 2 sheets and sandwich a bit of copy paper in the center,
I find this give you a more clear cut

Take the 3 larger circles and fold each one in the half and half again and again, 4 fold
now you should have a triangle
Cut the left and right side corners off
Fold open and you will have 8 Petals
Repeat until all your layers are done

Lay your small circle, this is the center of your flower,
and the other 3 layers on a bit of Kitchen Towel

Use a very fine water sprayer, you can at this point also add colour to your water,
and spray the layers with the water
When wet, just crunch the pieces and give some dimension to your petals
You can at this point use your Heat Gun,
but
be careful, you could scorch it and it can shrivel up
I just left mine to dry

I took Stickles and went round the edges of each layer

This will identify each layer

I left mine over night to dry properly

To put your flower together:
I used a Pearl brad
You can use your Poky Tool to make a small hole in the center of each layer,
so that you can put your brad tongs through
Start with the smallest and end with the biggest
After put all the layers on, just open the brad tongs at the back 
to keep your flower together.

Now you can shape your flower.

It is as easy at that!

I used a plain white card stock and made a semi circle easel card
I used Spellbinders plain large circles and cut only to the half of the circle and cut the
 rest according to my card so I could layer my card with this lovely 
Green Polka Dots DP from my stash


The Daisy border Stamp I used is from
SweetStamps.com
I stamped it with Versamark and embossed it
I used Promarkers to color it in:
Lime Green, Lemon and Summer Sun
Then cut it out by hand


I used white card stock that I embossed with with a dotty embossing folder 
and cut a heart out using Spellbinders Scalloped Hearts
I used Ranger Shabby Shutters and distressed
the dots on the white card
I made a posy with white daisies and
used a lovely die from SweetCuts
Fancy Leaf
Made a bow with Lemon Green String  
Last but not least I added 3 White Pearls on either side


My stopper I layered white card with Green Polka Dots 
and cut a strip of White card that i embossed it
with a Dotty Embossing folder
I cut another strip of Polka  Dots longer than the page
and used a ZIG ZAG scissors and cut top and bottom
and cut the ends like tales
I stuck it with tape in the middle and then in the middle again
I added these lovely Daisies from my stash in between
