NEW 1 MINUTE TO "WOW!" VIDEO TUTORIAL!  No, no!  The Poppy Parade flower isn't a new punch . . . it's simply the "Fancy Flower Punch With a Twist!"  Watch my video and it's a snap!

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:

  • Stampin up fancy flower punch video tutorial NEW PRODUCT ALERT!  Today's card includes three peeks from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog (available Jan. 4).  They include Sweet Stitches Designer Series Paper, "You're A Gem" stamp set and a Sweet Stitches Fabric Designer Series Brad.  
  • I used the Pinking Hearts Border and Corner Punches to create the square and right edge of my background layer.  Here's a download with the details on how to "make it work!"  I started with a 3 1/4" square of Poppy Parade.
  • A Bone Folder helps to curl the edges of the largest flower up for a 3-D effect.
