May Flowers Are Blooming

Papercrafting May flowers is definitely a thing! That is our theme here on the blog this month and the Inspiration Team has been sharing some delightfully springy and flowery projects so far. We have more for you to check out today! Also, Eileen would like to share a fun opportunity with you – a virtual beach house art retreat coming right up on Saturday, May 23rd! You can sign up in Eileen’s Etsy store. It’s going to be loads of fun!

Now onto this week’s Team May flowers inspiration!

Susie Bentz used the Display Stand Die to create a wonderful Mother’s Day gift (with flowers of course!) I love the photo of her mom that Susie used. What a great momento! See her blog post for the details.

Julia Aston created a delightful gift box with one of Eileen’s retired dies, the Cookie Box. She covered it with flowers and ribbons and filled it with yummy cookies! Who wouldn’t want one as a gift? It’s so pretty! (and tasty!) Julia gives full instructions in her blog post and also shows us how to use the new Sizzix Sculpting Foam for the flowers.

Using various dies from Eileen, Lisa Hoel cut flowers out of wool felt and used them to upcycle some thrift store teacups into pincushions. The dies (both steel rule and thinlits) cut felt beautifully and are a great way to get more use out of your collection. More photos and details can be found on Lisa’s blog post.

Next week, more papercrafting May Flowers projects will be shared! Come back to see the inspiration…
