Hello crafty reader! During my last Joann's visit, this new tool caught my eye:
It's a Dimensional Flower Punch by EK Success, meant to create dimensional flowers.
I have seen a lot of crafters making flowers out of punched edges, but I haven't seen an acutal edge punch for that particular reason. I thought that was pretty cool. And aside from its original purpose, you can still use this punch as a typical border or edger as well.
The instructions tell you to punch a 12 inch strip of designer paper. And to create your 3D flower, you need two 12 inch long petal strips. It took me several tries to make a decent flower, and this was the best one:
After playing some more, I was able to make this ornament, composed of 6 flowers:
I can't wait to play some more! This sure is a fun tool to have. Its MSRP is $17.99, but Joann's had all their scrapbooking tools at 30% off, so I got a better deal.
'Til next blog!
