New How To Make Paper Roses Video

I love flowers. I am always looking for new ways to make paper flowers.  I love trying out new flower making tools. So when I saw the Spellbinder Donna Salazar Rose Creations Die Set I had to get it.

This set makes beautiful roses.  Check out the video for a look at some of the roses I have made using this set.  The video also shows you how to assemble the roses.

The roses in this video are going to be used for the exploding box class I will be doing.  I'm hoping to have this class ready to go by next week. I have made a great deal of these boxes and everyone just loves them. They are a unique and decorative way to display your precious photos.

Butterflies, Butterflies, Butterflies, and Fairy Wings

I love butterflies.  I use them in almost every scrapbook layout and album I do.  I was very excited when I saw the new die release by Spellbinders and Donna Salazar.  Its called Wonderful Wings and wonderful it is!  I was quite happy with this system.  And no, I am not affiliated with the makers of this system.  I just really like it and thought I would share. 

It comes with 4 butterflies and one fairy wing set.  There is one solid piece for each item and one "Lacy piece".  You can put them together to make a wonderful 3 dimensional butterfly. 

The two wings on the bottom of this picture are the fairy wings...can you just imagine all the possibilities with these?  Other than the 2 green based butterflies, the rest are all from white card stock.  Yes one of my favorite things to do is to see all the different possibilities I can come up with using white card stock.  I used the same techniques for the butterflies as I did for my roses.  So check out that video if you need instructions.

If you would like some of these butterflies and don't have the Spellbinder system, I have posted some white cardstock butterflies in my etsy store.
