We’re ready to inspire, share, and create – are you ready to hop?
Here’s a fun project by Amy Bowerman of Plucking Daisies. She used my Sizzix die, Trinity’s Flower, to create a fabulous gift idea for the holidays- a teacup paper flower arrangement. Seeing this on your desk or kitchen windowsill will make the recipient smile every time they look at it. Click here for a easy and detailed tutorial on how to make this pretty project.
Here’s a stunning arrangement that Amy made for Thanksgiving using the very same flower die, Trinity’s Flower. There are so many ways you can use it! Check out her detailed tutorial here. You will not believe the deal she got at the thrift store on these tea cups!
Now make sure to hop through and see the rest of the projects- I can’t wait!
