Cards By Circle of Crafters

Foldy Flowers PT 3: Pom Pom Dahlia by LILY STUBBS

Here is another way to use the foldy flowers. Lily Stubbs made this card for me :) It's a bookatrix with her Pom Pom Dahlia on it. The tiles used are anywhere from 1.5 to 2 inches depending on how big you want the flower to be... 1.5 " is the safest bet if you want to fit it on a standard 1/4 fold card. Lily says she used 18 tiles to make the dahlia.

Lily had me baffled and amazed for the longest time with this dahlia! Thanks to her great instructions, I think I can do these now ;) She also included a placement diagram ( to do steps 5 & 6)

EDIT: Lily wanted to add that you glue the individual petals onto the flower from the back ( back facing you)... in case you haven't figured that out. Thnx. :)





Please check Lily's SITE out, she is a very talented lady and, and, I believe, a pioneer in circle and multi-shaped tile folding! A true inspiration. I also drool everytime I see any of her punched and quilled creations!

Foldy Flower Instructions Part 2

ALTERNATIVE ASSEMBLY:

Make 8 1.5" Tiles and 8 2" Tiles. Fold as per instructions in PT 1 using 8 Tile Basic Flower for each size tile. Put the smaller medallion on top of larger medallion. How simple is that ?! And looks so pretty. Thank you to Carolivy of CoC for the use of this card and the clever gal made the sheets too and has let me share them with you. Just print them out and "go to it" ;)

Foldy Flower Card from Cathy Noble

Oh thank you, Cathy for giving me something to blog! Isn't this pretty? I love paper embroidery. She used the Foldy Flower tile and she also made the neat background paper from it. I have sent Cathy some more foldy flowers to play with, check your email, Cathy ;).

More Cards by others :)

Boy I am getting carried away NOW! But I haven't posted for awhile so I am making up! Here are some awesome cards made by a teabag folding group I help moderate that has nurtured my papercrafting and designing obsession.

First Card is from Leo Thompson, my list mum, a wonderful bronze stamped confection! She used the medallion stamp from the Inked Impressions Paisley sheet set from Stamp Attack Art Stamps. Leo is a very special person in my life and I love her to bits, I am dedicating this stamp to her :)




Here is another gorgeous one from Carla van der Mei-Stolk, she told me she coloured the mulberry paper, love it.




Here is a beauty from Lynda Jorgensen that she made for her Mum. Wow!



How, did you say, or where did they get all these different colours of these medallions? They are my guinea pigs from a small, talented, intimate cardmaking group I help moderate LOL! I hope to offer these and many other designs soon as printables for purchase, info will made available soon ( hopefully LOL).
