3D Bird and Rolled Rose Scallop Punch

Here are my two favourite embellishments at the moment...We all change ideas regularly...

Here is my little scrap book page I attached to some recycled card for it to stand. And then I thought I should show you how to do the rolled roses...I know there are lots of tutorials out there, but have you seen my 3D bird?? I love it too...







Three dimensional bird easy. Punch 3 birds trim tail and head to beak on 1. Staple 3 together in line of tail to beak. Fold up two birds along staple. Glue wing on with tacky glue (two way glue works awesomely) edges to edges. Attach gem/pearl for eye. Too cute.
Instead of stapling you could also sew with the sewing machine, but it takes longer and looks lovely too...


The rolled rose. Punch circle or scallop. Cut in a spiral to the centre leaving a bit of round for the base. Roll tip in towards the centre with the right side inside your roll. Let it uncurl and glue base again with two way glue and push down in centre. Done. Lovely.
You could also daub the edges of the rose with the same ink colour to make it more red. Cover up the cut white edge...

Email me here if you would like more information to place an order or you can shop online.
