Today feels like a Thursday, not a Wednesday....
I was playing with the upgrade in ilife 11'. It has a few more features, but not too much that I would use in my videos. Great stuff for home videos though :) The iphoto update is amazing and I can do so much more...
Today's video is a tutorial on how to make your own paper rosettes. Tim Holtz has a die for making rosettes but this one just uses a score board and border punch. Enjoy....
I'm working on the list of all your video suggestions. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to contact me (above link). I think Gypsy will need to be high on the list :) Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. Have a great Wednesday :)

Oh wow I had wondered how you made it and it is a great way to embellish. Thanks for sharing.

Great idea! I am anxious to try this. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christina its so much easier when you can actually see someone making it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Christina. I bought the Tim Holtz die, it is awesome!

I love these medallions. They are great elements for all cards even masculine ones.

That was so cool. Embellishments cost so much and to be able to make something as nice as this for a fraction of the cost is a great idea. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAnother great tutorial! Nice (and cheap) way to embellish!
ReplyDeleteYour tutorials are always so easy to follow-great teacher. thanks so much
ReplyDeleteWhat a great start to your new tutorials. I loved it. Now there's no reason for any seasonal punch to lay dormant in your drawer. Thanks.

THanks for the great tutorial. I bought the spider web border last week and wondered if I would use it that much. This video gives me one more use for the punch which is great. Ant=y videos with some type of container to make or use to hold goodies to give would be great.
ReplyDeleteThey look like so much fun and easy...will be making a one later today. Thanks for all your great ideas!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this tutorial....I needed to make one and really didn't get the full jest of it, until now....can't believe how easy it really is.....
ReplyDeleteLove this! It's so easy! Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I am going to try it this weekend!!! Thanks for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteChristina, you are so talented! Your paper rosette idea is wonderful. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing us this technique. I will definatly have to try making some of these.
ReplyDeleteOh WOW! I am going to start making rosettes. This is such a GREAT idea. Thank you so much for your video.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great rosette. I love it. Thanks for the tutorial. I really love it when you show how to make embellishments.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christina. For some reason when I watch your videos now, the audio goes out and I have to go over to Youtube to watch. Curious isn't it? Anyhoo, I tried this once and mine ripped at the outside edges. I'm going to try again though. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial Christina. I just bought the spiderweb punch and I think I'll give this one a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christina, I used this same Idea and made some big Christmas ornaments for our tree last year. I can't wait to see if they lasted the year round:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, Christina. I really like the rosette flowers and using the punch really makes them special. Thanks for sharing. Smiles Carolyn
ReplyDeleteGreat video! You can also do this with a ribbon...just take a length and sew a running stitch in the shape of a U coming down at one end and along the length then going up at the other end...pull your strong thread and it gathers and presto you have a ribbon flower. On the wired ones, you can just pull one wire out and then pull the other to gather. It works the same way! Am off to try your paper one though. =)

Great idea! Nice job and thanks for sharing.

Love it! I saw Martha do plain huge rosettes using her scoreboard, but punching the edge makes them awesome, I never thought of that. I got my MS scoreboard and LOVE it. I like it better than my Score-It. Like you said though, be careful not to tear your paper, the little white tool is sort of sharp!
ReplyDeletePretty neat. That's a great idea. Thanks.

Thank you, Thank you! I am going to try one of these tonight. So great of you share. I actually have what is needed to make one of these flowers and cannot wait. You are a gem!
ReplyDeleteChristina!
ReplyDeleteGreat and I will actually do this!
Keep the flowers coming - love them.
What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have the punch wahoo.
Thanks Christina your tips are so great. Thanks for sharing
Chistina....that is so neat. Thank you for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christina! Great tutorial! Love the look of the rosettes! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Christina,
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought of punching the borders, great touch!
Hugs,
Carmen
Love this Chris, I can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteYou made that look so easy... I guarantee the first one I try will end up being recycled...lol Thanks for sharing this neat project with us!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea wow the possibilites with all those punches. Great tutorial. thanks so much
ReplyDeleteI love the way you made this. I have most of the M Steward border punches and never could figure out an easy uniform way of doing the rossette. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeletegr8mom
Thanks for a great video. This is a wonderful rosette and you made it so easy to make. Such a wonderful idea to use tools we already have to make something different than the original purpose.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the video because I have made these but points you made in the video, made it much easier! Using the hot glue was faster as well as the MS score board due to the 1/4 inch marks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great video tutorial, I can't wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteI had a blast making these and appreciate your sharing this video with us. Check out my flowers here
