Stampin up flower punch tutorial

supplies

punch 5-6 flowers



I used a pencil to show how far to cut into the flowers, cut 3 to medium length, 1 flower cut close to the center, cut one flower just a tiny bit, and the last one (I used 6 petals) don't cut. 

I use a paint brush to curl the petals

curl the 3 medium cut petal just a little bit in,  curl another petal a little bit tighter, the one you cut the closest to the center curl the tightest, and the one you didn't cut just curl the petals under.

using a foam base take your petal and stylist and use a circular motion in the center of the flower. 

the flower will start to cup up.


I start with the bottom petal first and build up.

attach the lowest curled petal and off set the petals so they alternate and you go up.

the third layer

on the forth layer I close up the petals a little bit.

I use the stylist to get the glue to really stick.

the fifth layer is closed up tighter.

I glue the bottoms then stick down.


the sixth and final layer is the closed up the tightest and glued down.


this is the aster punch from Martha Stewart.

I cut the petals into fringe.

to get the center into the flower I cup it around the end of the paint brush.

pop it inside.

ta-da

you are done
