Accordian Flower:
The flower I decided to make today is not a new one. In fact, accoridan flowers are everywhere these days. What I did a little differently this time was to use my border punch to make the edge a little fancier. Before I folded the paper, I punched it with my Fiskars's effervescence border punch. Once it is all folded and made into a flower, you get this really cute edging from the border punch.
Supplies: Paper & Glittered Cardstock (Best Creation Inc.), Leaf (Prima), Cardstock (Bazzill), Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug), Epoxy (Epiphany Crafts), Die (Spellbinders), Crocheted Flower (American Crafts), Rub-Ons (Jenni Bowlin), Border Punch (Fiskars)
The flower center is actually made from an Epiphany Crafts' epoxy shape and the Bella line from Best Creation.
I also made a coordinating goodie bag to match the card. I used another miniature accordian flower here as well. I tied some twine around the bag in such a way that the goodie bag could be hung as a surprise to the recipient. I can see it hanging off the corner of a computer monitor or maybe a door knob as a sweet surprise on Valentine's Day.
The final stop on our blog hop is Teresa Horner's blog. Be sure to take a moment and check out her beautiful flowers. I do hope you've been inspired today. Have fun and thanks for stopping by.
