Saramae has been gone for just a few days and I am so flippin bored out of my mind. I cant scrap without her!! So, I have kinda been a video recording fool.
So I was looking at these clear epoxy stickers for a month wondering what the heck to do with them. And I decided to mash em together to make a charm. I love love LOVE the antique music sheets I found, so I used them to sammich between the stickers. This paper is so delicate, its really hard to work with. Regular or double sided paper would work just as well. I just like to choose what I want to show on each side of the charm. I love the way it turned out!!

No Motivation No Inspiration
I did a few tutorials on some flower techniques I used recently and posted them on YouTube.
This one is using paper cut into flower shapes in three nested sizes. You can use your dies, cricut, etc... or cut the flowers using the folding techniques I show in the video.
Once you have your three sizes of flowers, spritz it down with water, hairspray, spray starch, or Glimmer Mist. You just want to have the paper saturated and wet.
Roll up each of the petals onto a skewer or paintbrush end, and smoosh the paper together. Adjust the petals to how you want them and squirt with some hairspray or starch and dry with a heat gun.
Glue the layers together to create the flower. Use any embellishments for the centers of the flowers, or fold a long piece of paper in half and make slits cutting as close to the fold as possible without cutting over the fold. Roll the paper into a cone and glue into the center of the flower. Use your fingers to fluff out the paper 'fringe'.
This second video may look a lot more complicated than it really is. But it is so super easy and FUN! There is so much you can do to play and customize this technique. Love love LOVE it!
