I was surfing the internet and ran across a beautiful handmade Dahlia. It was created by Megan Reardon out of felt and shared as a Mother's Day corsage. You can find the original instructions at holidash.com, click here. I thought this flower was so pretty that it might make a lovely addition to a scrapbook page if I could come up with the right paper. After experimenting a bit I decided to try coffee filters. This gave me the best result. Coffee filter paper is light weight, very flexible and takes color well. Here is a layout using my coffee filter version of the Dahlia. This is one of my favorite pictures of my mother. To make this flower you will need the following supplies. Two flat white coffee filters, quick drying glue and Glimmer Mist. For my flower I chose the color Pink Bubblegum. To get started I got out my craft sheet and sprayed both side of each coffee filter with glimmer mist. Since I wanted the color to be as rich as possible, I saturated my two coffee filters turning them over a couple of times while I worked. Once I was satisfied with the color I let them dry completely. I then traced petal shapes onto the coffee filters and cut them out with scissors. I left my coffee filters as they came out of the package, so I was cutting through two thicknesses, giving me two petals for each traced shape. The original instructions at holidash.com did not include a template, but I created one to share with you so that you could see the exact shape I used for my petals. The largest petal at it's widest spot is 1 1/8 inches across. The medium petal is 1 inch wide and the small petal is just over 3/4 of an inch wide. The number of petals you will need to complete a flower can vary as the petal sizes are influenced by how much you fold them. I recommend you cut out 18 large petals, 16 medium petals and 14 small petals. You will also need to cut out the 2 inch circle in the template from cardstock. It will be your base to hold the petals. To form the petals I placed a line of glue at the base of the petal and gently folded/rolled the edges toward the center. I held the folded petal just for a few seconds so that my quick dry glue would take hold. As you are working with the petals, try not to create a hard fold in the paper. The final flower will look more realistic if the petals have a rounded look. Once I had all of my petals glued I attached them to the cardstock circle base starting with the largest petals on the outside. I then placed the second row of petals just inside the large petals. Then I did the same thing for the final row of small petals. The finished flower will need some embellishment in the center. I chose some cardstock stamens and a button for my pink flower. I also make a while flower. This one I didn't color with Glimmer Mist, instead I left it natural and colored the edges of each petal with distress ink. To complete the while flower I bunched some smalled punched out flowers in the center. Here is my final layout with the white flower. I hope you will enjoy giving this a try!

hello scrappy friends! if you have some spare time this month, i've got the perfect challenge for you - the MAY challenge from MERLY IMPRESSIONS "spring is in the air". this month i have the pleasure to create with the amazing HONEY CHAI collection from KAISERCRAFT. creating a SPRING themed layout was very easy with this paper line - just look at the soft green colours and all the flourishes. i used one of ELISE’s most recent pictures, taken this spring in WREST PARK. i used KAISERCARD coconut weave cardstock as a base for my layout. i added a layer of soft green pattern, using PRIMA marketing masking template and PANPASTELS. after the fixative has dried, i did a bit of stamping, using the wonderful clear stamps from KAISERCRAFT - i used the "hummingbird" set, "film edges" stamp and "lattice" clear stamp. i fussy cut the swirly frame from the CLOVE gloss paper and adhered it with mounting foam tape to the cardstock to create the frame around my design. i added KAISERCRAFT rhinestones lilac to decorate the edges. i layered my picture on different colours pattern paper from the 6.5" paper pad. i used MARTHA STEWART punches to create the edges on the different layers. when i was ready, i embossed them slightly and decorated the top one with KAISERCRAFT self adhesive pearls, colour lush. i used die cuts from the COLLECTABLES pack to embellish my page. to cut the foliage and the ferns, i used various dies from MARIANNE design. i also used two different types of KAISERCRAFT flowers – mini paper blooms “amethyst” and paper blooms “sage”. here is the complete list with all the products, you can find at the MERLY IMPRESSIONS online store: Honey Chai Collection "Clove" gloss paper Honey Chai Collection "Paper pad" Honey Chai Collection "Collectables" Kaisercard Coconut Weave cardstock Kaisercraft Clear Stamp - Lattice Kaisercraft Clear Stamp - Film Edges Kaisercraft Paper Blooms Sage Kaisercraft Mini Paper Blooms Amethyst Kaisercraft Rhinestones - Lilac Kaisercraft Pearl Embellishments - Lush Kaisercraft Mini Ink Pad "Brown" Mounting Foam Tape Mounting Foam Dots Kaisercraft Glue Stick i hope i managed to inspire you today! and don’t forget you’ve got until June 2nd, 2014 to add your creation to the gallery under the may challenge post. we will then choose our favourite layout to win a fantastic prize – a £25.00 voucher to spend on anything you want from the MERLY IMPRESSIONS online store. have a wonderful day! hugs 'n smiles,
