Butterfly Pansies!
I learned how to make these beautiful pansies from Gretchen Barron. I used the butterfly punch from Stampin Up! I used the daubers to add yellow to the middle and then sponged the edges with Concord crush. Used the piercing tool to attached the brad easily and correctly in the middle. Each butterfly required two butterfly punch outs.
Enjoy!!

Paper Easter Baskets
My friend Erlinda taught me how to make these beautiful little flowers using the scallop circle punch and crimper. First you punch out 3 scallop circles. Then run them through the crimper about 10 times, in any direction. This softens the fibers so you can pull the scallops apart. When your done you should have 6 scallop circles. You'll want to put a brad in the middle then crumble each scallop circle towards the middle. Gently pull them back to form your flower. It's pretty easy, probably easier than I explained it :)
If using two different colors, you can layer any way you like. I used the 2 3/8 scallop circle #118874, but you can use any size you wish.

I love the way this flower looks on this little Easter basket!
I used the Fancy Favor Box #115965

I wanted my crinkle paper to match, so I made my own, using my husbands paper shredder!
I'm going to change the color scheme to something brighter, add a ribbon handle
and make them for my granddaughter's to give out at school.
Wish me luck, I have to make atleast 30 of these cute little baskets.
Hope you enjoyed this project!
