I have a fun project to share with you today. Awhile back I made an order from Oriental Trading and saw this chipboard flower kit on clearance for like $2.50 and figured I'd go ahead and get it.
I had a lot of fun putting this together. The kit came with way more flowers than I ended up using. So, I got to pick and choose which ones to use and how to layer them. All I did was trace each flower onto the back of my paper, cut it out, and then attach the paper with Scotch Quick Dry adhesive. I layered 2 flowers on top of each other also using Quick Dry.

To attach the chipboard to the plastic stems that came in the kit I used some Scor Tape.
All the papers I used are from Stampin' Up. I also added some ribbon to the vase. For the front I stamped "You're never more than a thought away" from Stampin' Up's Whimsical Words set. I cut it out with a circle shaped Nestability, and layered it onto another Nestability shape.
Once I had all my supplies together this went pretty quickly and I'm really happy with the results.
Thanks for stopping by today :)
Stay crafty!
