Card Plus!

This 8x6 accordion card was my Wednesday project but turned into my Thursday project. Late, still way cute. What do you think?

I got the instructions from Scrapbook and Cards Today under their Bonus Project Sheet tab>BoBunny. I am in love with their site because not only do they have doable projects but you can view their magazines online for free! Awesome!

All you need are two sheets of 12x12 cardstock, coordinating patterned papers and embellishments and about an hour. Click here to view the printable instructions.

Paper Flowers! So cute! So easy!

I found a tutorial for these cute paper flowers on Yahoo Shine. I thought they were so cute I wanted to try it myself. Their flowers only had five petals but I used six on mine to even out the alternating petals. If you know me, you know I like symmetry.

1. Fold a square piece of paper to form a triangle.
2. Fold the bottom two corners up to the top corner to create a square again.
3. Flatten the two corners you just folded upward.
4. Fold back the tips of the two parts you just flattened.
5. Fold the two corners you flattened in half.
6. Apply double sided tape to one of the corners you just folded in half.
7. Bring sides together without completely flattening.
8. Use a stick or dowel for the stem and embellish the center.

You give it a try!
