Scalloped Flower!

I'm so excited to share this new little flower I just made!! I was looking through the new Stampin' Up! catalog and saw a little flower like this and wanted to make one! Here it is!

I used my handy dandy scallop circle punch and punched one ridinghood red circle out, then cut 4 scallops out of the Bella Rose designer paper. I cut each of the bella rose scallops in half, rolled them into a cone shape, as you see above (but you need only 7 cones, so you'll have one extra). I covered my ridinghood red scallop with terrifically tacky tape--mono and ATG adhesive weren't quite strong enough--and then started placing the cones on the background red scallop punch. I lined the first scallop of my little "cone" with one of the scallops of the red background punch, so that it is the same size/shape as one regular scallop punch. I also tried it w/o lining up the scallops, and only need 6 cones, instead of 7. I think I like the 7 "coned" flower better. After I had all the petals of my flower attachead, I poked a hole with my paper piercing tool and added the rhinestone brad! I love rhinestone brads! So, isn't that a fun flower!? Obviously this will not be a card that I send in the mail...but that's ok!

I was also in need of a new notebook to help me stay organized! I am totally loving the Bella Rose paper right now, so here is my new covered composition book! I aslo had some giant paperclips on my desk, and decided that putting one of these fun flowers a top the paperclip would be a great bookmark!:) Right? So, here is my new bookmark too! I made the flower just the same, but put the completed flower on the paperclip with more tacky tape and another scallop-to make it a bit sturdier.

So, there you have my fun new scallop flower! The flower I saw in the catalog was on a box on page, 48. Anway, let me know what you think and I'd love to see your flowers!!

Thanks for stopping by!! Make it a great one!
