After working with Paula from Frog Prince Paperie, on the Queen of Heart Valentine's shoot, I had several printed papers left over from the collection. I decided I'd create something fun with them using 2 different patterns and a few other crafty embelishments.
The printable papers make a great gift wrap for small (sparkly?) gifts so I chose to use one pattern for wrapping and another pattern for a heart-shaped flower rosette.
- What you'll need: 2 patterned papers; paper or fabric flower pieces from scrapbook isle of craft store; decorative brads; scissors, and hole punch.
- Make a fold down the side of the paper and cut out half of a heart shape, so that when you open it, it looks like a full heart. You'll need 5 of these for 1 flower.
- Layer the hearts on top of one another and punch a small hole at the bottom.
- Layer a flower piece on top of the heart shapes and push a brad through everything and secure it. Now fan out the hearts to form a flower and attach it to your package using double sided tape.
I also added one of the straw flags from the collection, as a little "stem" to the flower for extra detail. What other ways could you use these heart flowers?

Cute, cute!
So clever and creative! Imagine all that from "left overs"!
very sweet idea :)
How gorgeous! LOVE the idea!
I'm thinking serving jar labels...
The flower alone would be a cute decoration, maybe on a picture frame or door. I liked it so much, I shared your link on my Favorite Feeds Friday.
