Easy Accent Video Tutorial

Would you like to learn how to make an easy accent that packs a big punch?  Well, look no further!  I have a video tutorial to show you how to create bold flowers that give your cards and gifts the WOW factor you are looking for.



Last week I shared this fun mini treat bag with you that included a flower made with the new COTTON PAPER.  I love how easy this flower is to make, it comes together in minutes!

Here's an alternate idea using different colors and framelits.  I love the bold stripes with these bright colors!



Let's get to the nitty gritty with some products that you'll need and measurements.  I have all of the products I used listed below, you can click on them to find more information.

Watermelon Wonder Flower:  Uses (1) sheet of cotton paper.                                             Cut (2) strips 3 1/2" x 12" and cut those two strips down into (6) 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" squares.  Die cut with third floral framelit from the center.

Cut (2) Strips 2 1/2" x 12" and cut down into a total of (8) 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" squares.  Die cut with the second floral framelit from the center.

Envelope Paper Mini Treat Bag

One thing I really love to do is find new ways to use a product.  We all want to get the most for our money and using an item for multiple purposes helps us do that.  My stamping friend Cindee Wilkinson used the new Envelope Paper with the Mini Treat Bag Thinlet and I just loved the idea!  She found another way to use the envelope paper and the treat bag, how cool!  I sat down and did a version of my own that I think you'll enjoy.



Isn't this fun and happy!  I went with the wood grain pattern in Tip Top Taupe and added a pop of color with a flower made with the new Cotton Paper.



Lisa Rhine, another great stamping friend, was my inspiration for the cotton flower.  It was super easy to make, maybe I should do a quick video to share....what do you think??



I also added in a sentiment with Hello You Thinlets, so there is NO stamping on this bag....just die cuts!  Sometimes it's fun to just sit and create with no stamps involved.  I really don't know how I ever lived without the Big Shot, I use it for just about everything I make!



Don't forget that the Mini Treat Bag Thinlet is on sale through Monday, be sure to take advantage of the great price!
