Hey Crafty People!
I had so much fun creating this special piece of artwork for a very special person. These types of papercraft flowers aren’t usually my style but I loved making them and the results blew my mind!!! ?
To see exactly how I put together the beautiful red Camellia, be sure to check out my video tutorial and I have lots more photos in the gallery below.
Papercraft Flowers
- Die cut the pieces for each flower and the foliage. Ink them and then form the petals using several sizes of Ball Tool & a Flower Forming Sponge. Assemble them with strong, liquid glue.
- Add a natural shine to the leaves by painting Glossy Accents/Crystal Glaze onto them.
- Die cut the Teacup & Saucer from patterned paper and adhere these onto thicker card die cuts. Colour a piece for the inside of a cup using several markers. Add Crystal Glaze to this to give it a realistic wet look!
- Die cut alphas to make a sentiment; stack 4 white die cuts and a Gold Mirror cardstock on the top. (Pro tip! Glue the alpha’s onto strips of acetate to make it bunches easier to add to your finished piece!)
- Trim a panel of Distress Watercolour cardstock to 8x8inches and spray shimmering ink onto it. Work in layers, making sure each one is completely dry before you add the next.
- Spritz the dried panel with water and add Polished Gold embossing powder for some pops of gorgeous gold!
- Adhere the spritzed panel to a 10x10inch panel of Brushed Metallic cardstock.
- Arrange all of your elements and glue in place with strong liquid adhesive.
- Fit into a 10x10inch box frame.

Please be aware:
As part of my Design Team and Guest Design work I do often receive free products to use, but I only ever recommend products that I genuinely love.
Also, I know how incredibly lucky I am to have these opportunities, but you don’t always NEED the newest products or the ‘full set’.
So please don’t feel that you need everything.
I like to show a variety of brands and products; this way there will be something for everybody to enjoy.
