Friend envelope treat holder

I made another one whilst I had all the things out in my room....but used a different tag for the top....see further down posts for the other tag I used.

I am trying this year to make 2 of each card I make whilst I have all the items on my desk, either 2 the same or slight variations...

Center piece

This is the center piece on the front of the envelope treat holder.

I used 2 1/2 marvy scallop punch and I added dots with choc chip marker from SU.

Then I used the SU scallop punch and punched 1 in choc chip and 1 in cameo coral...this one I then cut little slits inbetween each scallop so that the petals stood out a little, I layered these together.

Then I used the little folded flower that I had made and placed that on top.

I had already folded and mounted my flower before deciding what to do in the center....I tried a gem and a button but decided on a brad so I had to cut the wings off the back to lay it flat LOL....note to self try to decide next time BEFORE folding and sticking brad....hee hee

Stamped flowers

Stamp out your chosen flowers, this flower is from the Doodle This stamp set from SU but magenta and hero arts do similar ones as do Hobby Art in the UK

I have used SU Cameo coral and Choc chip.

They would look great stamped on dark cs with white ink, you could then add some dots or colour in...

Cut them out !

Once you have stamped the flowers in your chosen colours then cut them out......Jenny makes a much better job of this than I do, I dont know how she does it SO neatly !!

Spiders !!

Once you have cut out your flower, then curl the edges over...either use the flat edge of scissors or a pencil or your fingers or the curved edge of your bone folder...choices choices....

They should look like this....oooh reminds me of spiders !!

I think we have all used flowers like this on our cards havent we...??

The next picture just takes that one step further...

Turn over and add a pop dot

Turn the flower over after you have curled the petals and add a pop-dot, ( remember if you want to add a brad do it NOW ) LOL...then gently fold over each petal and stick down to the pop dot....

Little flower folded ready for use.

These are the little flowers finished ready to be mounted.

They will add dimension to your projects.

They would also look great on darker carstock and you could add detail like Jenny does with a white gel pen.
