Cherries plus Spring

 I made this card a while back but now I do have cherries in a jar!

Our tulips started growing in December (then stopped because of the snow) and now they are back at it.

Felt flowers

To make these flowers cut out 4 of the shaped flowers below (but do it in felt or cloth).

 Simply, fold the flower shape over twice and then glue gun to a 1 inch felt circle.  When you have glued all 4 petals, add some fun button embellishment to the center!

My DIY Paper Ribbon Flower

Take paper ribbon (above) or rolled crepe paper and cut out petals.  They can be different sizes and look different too (after all real petals do).  If you use paper ribbon: cut off a piece, unroll it and then fold it in half to cut.

I used dollar store glitter and glossy accents (see this post if your glossy accents is clogged).  Simply draw a line with your glossy accents (or any type of liquid glue!) and pour on glitter. 

I used the glue gun to stick the petals down (but any type of glue would work).  For the first 8 petals I glued them flat (as seen below).

For the rest of the petals scrunch them first and then glue them down (making sure they stayed scrunched). 

Finished product (to be used for gift wrap):

 

I also made smaller ones with 8 petals only (seen above and below).  For the pink and blue one I used rolled crepe paper and glitter glue.

Summer Flowers Still Blooming

Dahlia's 

This one (above) reminds me of tropical flowers.

Its no wonder the flowers are dressed better then we are!
