I've been feeling Patriotic lately and started some red,white and blue cards. This one was sweet and simple. I had picked up the paper a long time ago but the red had a metallic sheen and the white I used for the stars was glitter. The rest was plain old cardstock. I cut the stars out with my Cricut and the lacy border was a MS punch. You can't really tell but I used stickles on Tilda's shoes and flowers.

This one I am really proud of. Again I used my Cricut for the stars out of the white glitter paper as well as the white circle. The red circle is a holographic paper from Targets $1 scrapbook supplies. I made all the flowers except for the tiny buds.

Here's a better look of Tilda and the Flowers. I used one of my favorite hair combos, Copic E97, E99 and Y21. I really love the golden blond. The red and blue flowers were made from small and medium retro flower punches and the white flower was Spellbinders Rose Creations. All flowers were spritzed with glimmer mists and the centers of the blue flowers was Distressed Stickles in Walnut Stain. 

Hope you enjoy! 

I'm so excited. I just got the Spellbinders Rose Creations dies. I've been making my own paper roses using Retro Flower punches but my size was limited to1/2 and 3/4 inch and I have been dying to buy this set.

There was one problem, NO DIRECTIONS ON PUTTING THE FLOWERS TOGETHER!! YouTube to the rescue. There were two really great videos on making 3D flowers using this set. First by Donna Salazar herself (here). She had two ways on making the flowers. I tried both. First, her Easy Peazy.

Then the more complicated one.

Both were really quite easy though the second definitely took more time with glue.
The other video was by Carolynne1982. This one was a little like the second Donna Salazar one.

I need to glue the center of mine a little more but I am very happy with the results of all three flowers. No more buying bigger flowers for me with these new dies.  Definitely check out the videos.
