The Aviary: Tutorial Tuesday: Stamped Flower

Hello everyone! It's Amber here to share this quick and fun flower tutorial. See the pink flower with the stamping on the smaller card below, that's the flower I will be showing you how to make today.

Below you will find the seven steps I used to create the pink stamped flower. I know seven steps seems like a lot but it really is easy.

Step1. Die cut or punch five circles out of colored pattered paper or cardstock

Step 2. Stamp all five layers with a background stamp. I used a background stamp from the Text Cling Stamp Set.

Step 3. Fold and wrinkle each layer and then carefully unfold all five layers.

Step 4. Take a large paper piercer or anything else that is sharp and make a hole in the middle of all five layers for a brad.

Step 6. Add a colored brad to the center then layer by layer fold and wrinkle the paper around the brad. This is what will give the flower a fuller look when finished.

Step 7. Unfold the five layers as desired until you are happy with the finished flower.

Its really as easy as that. There are many things you can do with this flower technique like adding more layers for a fuller flower, you could just use patterned paper instead of stamping, you could distress the edges, emboss the layers, or you could make a smaller or larger flower. I hope you enjoyed my tutorial today and Thanks for visiting!.
