DT PurpleFuntastick Creations

Today our project for Purplefuntastick Creations Design Team is to create a 3-D flower project along with including the recipe for making this … to make life a little more interesting, this is only Part 1 and the entire DesignTeam both the Senior and the Junior Team are working as one!!!

Recipe:
Flower Shoppe Cricut Cartridge flowers cut at 2 inches.
Hot Glue Gun
Quilling Tool

Hi everyone, my post today is a little short as Brighton is back in the hospital again. So I am writing this from his hospital room. First, let me say if you don't have the Flower Shoppe Cartridge - add it to your list. It is sooo much fun!
At first I was intimidated by these beautiful flowers, but now I am having so much fun creating them. The quilling tool makes it easier to roll each flower. While there are a lot of videos on You Tube on how to use this cartridge. I watched every one before I got started. Then finally I had the guts to make the first cuts. I am so glad that I did.
I have found when you roll your flower roll from the smaller end to the middle tab. I roll the whole flower and glue at the end. The quilling tool also helps your flower stay tight and formed. At the end apply a little hot glue on the tab and hold when you do watch out because you could burn your fingers. I did this several times.
Then you are ready to shape your flower. Very carefully shape the petals like you would want them to be. You can spritz the cardstock with a little bit of water to help this go better. I did this on one flower but not on all.
These flowers are so much fun to make. I can't wait to make many more!

Now be sure to check out what the rest of the Purplies have for you today. I have seen some of their flowers and they are beautiful! Don't miss them. Here is the line up:

PurpleFuntastick Creations Design Team #1

Hi everyone and welcome back! I hope you are having a blessed and wonderful Thursday. Today I have a wonderful project for you. It is my first for PurpleFuntastick Design Team. Thank you Kari for having me a member of the Purplies.
My project for today is a Standard A2 size card. The elements I used are:

• Cricut Imagine Imagine More Cartridge for the beautiful floral paper, mat, and flowers
• Cricut Lite Lacey Labels for the sentiment
• Verve Stamps Nehemiah 8:10 

I love how this card came together. Thank you Cricut Craftroom. If you don't use it please try it, for me it makes designing simple and cards can come together in a matter of minutes rather than hours. I can design while sitting with the family watching tv and then cut it out while they are in bed. It's truly the best. 

Please be sure to check out the rest of the Purplies intros at Kari's blog. Also check out each project that they have created.
