Flowers Flowers Everywhere

Sixty of these beauties are gracing the tables at Brittney's house - SIXTY!  That equates to 120 cuts on the Big Shot using the Spiral Flower Originals.  Thankfully, with the BigZ Dies, they are strong enough to cut 3 or 4 at a time.  Each flower has two cuts of the Spiral Flower to make a nice full flower.  

Aren't they pretty?  I think so and most importantly, so does the Bride!  That is the only person that needs to love them!

We also made bigger flowers to go with the smaller ones, but they were made using a retired BigZ Die because it was simple and fast to do.  The centers though are made using the Bouquet Bigz L.

The large yellow flowers will be attached at the bottom to a battery operated tea light and then will be lowered into a beautiful mason jar that has been mod podged on the bottom and sprinkled with silver glitter.

I have a few more large white flowers to make to fill up the jars a little bit more.  They will be a breeze to do though, now that I have it down.  ha ha

Thank you for looking in today.  I'll be making some fun Holiday Projects next, so come back to see what I have for you!

Have a Blessed Sunday!

Wedding Prep Busy!

My apologies for not being a very consistent blogger this week.  A co-worker of mine, who I consider to be the closest thing to a daughter I can have, is getting married October 3rd and we've been busy with prepping for her big day.  

Would you like to see what I've been doing after work every day this week?  Cutting, trying to design, cutting again and coming up with a plan for making flowers for centerpieces on twelve tables.  Saturday (today) we will gather at the Bride's house with some friends to assemble these flat pieces of cardstock into what I'm hoping will be beautiful flowers.  It should be interesting, since none of the girls are paper crafters except Brittney and me!  Time to teach and encourage some future crafters!

I also made Brittney's bouquet, but I don't want to share that online before her big day, so you'll have to wait for the wedding - or after the wedding - to see it.  I think it came out really nice, especially being my first attempt!  Yikes!

A few weeks ago we also made the wedding invitations and the RSVP cards.  These came out so pretty and I'm so happy we made them.  We're trying to do everything possible to make this a very affordable wedding and so far so good!  It helps when friends and family help. 

Thank you for looking in today.  If you have plans for traveling this long Labor Day Weekend, please be safe and enjoy the holiday!
