Girly and I made her valentines today this weekend and I created a FREE download with a tutorial on how to make these!
You can download the file here:
Download Felt Flower Valentine
There's some different variations that you can try if you don't want to make it exactly as shown in the photo or if you don't own all the tools I used for mine.
* If you don't have the Flower Folds Big Shot die, you can also hand cut your flowers using a stencil or template. You don't have to do all the layers, either. If you want to do fewer, that's perfectly okay.
* I used a tag punch to do my tag, but you can hand cut those, too, or use a different style of punch for variety.
* If you don't own a heavy duty punch (ie: The Crop-a-dile), you can fold your flowers in half and snip a little slit in the center to slide the lollipop stick through.
* You can use blow pops, Dum-dums or any other type of ball shaped lollipops. Don't be afraid to get creative and use heart shaped pops, too!
I'm also adding a shameless plug here for my new scrapbooking community: Soul Scrappers
I'd love to have you join....challenges will start this coming week and there's already some great discussions going on. Scrapbookers from all over and all levels and methods are welcome!
Come see what it's all about!
Have a beautiful and creative weekend!
