Appreciation Flower Pocket by Anita Scroggins

Lucky us-! Today we will see how to make an Appreciation Flower Pocket by Anita Scroggins, our featured Guest Designer. Anita shares this cool project that she made for her Girl Scout Camp volunteers using the new Paper Flower Party Sizzix dies.

I met Anita at the Crafty Scrapper on my first Paper Trail trip passing through Texas. We had so much fun in class that we stayed in touch. Creative friends are such a blessing!

Now, here’s Anita’s cool project- to see more of her work, visit her blog…

Hi everyone, I’m Anita from The Flamingo Chronicals and I’m super happy to be featured here on Eileen’s blog today.  I am a scrapbooker who also does mixed media and other crafts. I also teach and do design work for several manufacturers. It’s rough, but someone has to do it!

My style is lots of flowers and bling, and no white space. Less is less and more is best is my motto. I have two grown up daughters and a very cute granddaughter to keep my busy these days. I live just outside Dallas, TX with my Irish Wolfhound and my hubby of almost 30 years.

I am the Director for Girl Scout Camp every summer so I am always in need of Thank You gifts.  Today I have combined the Flower Pocket Die and the Candy Cup die to come up with a quick way to show appreciation.  I love how easy the Flower Pocket Die is to use and how quick it goes together. Two pieces and three strip of tape – and you are done!

For the front of the Flower Pockets I wanted a tiny little flowers over flowing with flowers. How cute are these?   I used the Candy cup die, some LittleB chipboard, paper, and an adhesive sheet from Thermoweb. 

After die cutting I cut the sections apart, inked them, shaped them a bit, then adhered using Super Tape down the sides and a Foam Square in the middle.  I used a hot glue gun to adhere a variety of wired and flat flowers in place.
