Pool Party Pop-Up Posies

Today I have a few last things to show you that I made using the Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit..specifically the pool party flowers.  I hope you enjoy each way I made the flowers.  I wasn't so sure about this set since I like to come up with my own 3-D flowers, but after playing with it and quickly and easily making flowers it won me over. :)  There are so many other samples online line that you can check out too.

With this flower I snipped each of the petals in half, put in the brad, then folded each of the petals forward to give it some depth.

On this flower I sponged around the edges of the petals with Island Indigo ink, put the brad in, then crumpled the petals.  The darker ink really adds some character to the flower.  I actually forgot I had made a little note card that I had slipped inside of this little envelope until I grabbed it to take some pics. lol

These were actually my favorite flowers and of course the hardest to make!  When I was messing around with the flowers I found I could make the crocuses by folding them a certain way.  I know...crocuses aren't blue.  I even checked online and they are pretty much all white, purple or yellow.  I decided to make them anyway because they were unique and they made me look forward to the first flowers that pop up in my yard every spring. :)

  

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

These two cards are definitely not the norm for me, but I made them to feature the Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit.  I think they turned out pretty cute, but I know beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. ;)  The card on the left took a little bit of work to fold up the flowers to make them look like daffodil buds, and cutting the strips of grass.  The flower itself was pretty easy to make though.  The yellow flower was super easy to make.  Just sponge the edges, clip the outside cup, layer the pieces and attach with the brad in the middle.  Making the stem and leaves were easy too. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
