How to Make Paper Flowers with a Paper Shaper Punch

[11marylena]

I really like your flowers. Just wondering what card stock you used to make them and did you ink them up yourself? Thanks :)

[nightcats]

@11marylena It was a while ago, but I believe I used scrapbook paper and touched it up a bit with ink.

[11marylena]

@nightcats Thanks...Also, will the pointsetta keep its shape over time or do you need some kind of spray over top of it? Would love to see some of your bead work as well. Thanks again

[nightcats]

@11marylena The poinsettia keeps it shape unless of course you put a telephone book on top of it! LOL I don't actually do real bead work -- my eyesight is not good enough for such fine work. I do a little with beads to add centers to flowers and so forth.

the first few seconds she sounded like bonnie from family guy

[LaMiaLunaGothika]

[ayethpanget]

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. NOW I AM SLEEPY;)

[nightcats]

@dax3370 Glad you like the flowers. I wish you the best of luck in finding the perfect employment opportunity.

[sobutterfly1]

amazing i love em!

[anniew304]

Very helpful informative video, and what I like so much is that it is easy to understand, and uses things that many of us have around the house. So thanks very much, I'll be watching for more of your video's!

[nightcats]

@anniew304 Thank you! Yes, I do try to use household items wherever possible. It's cost effective and better for the environment.

[Dangerouswallflower]

they are totally cute...

[nightcats]

@Dangerouswallflower Thank you for your kind words.

[mrschard]

Hey I tried making this after watching and I had a piece of broken earing for the center and it came out great! Thank you so much

[nightcats]

@mrschard Wonderful. Its great that you recycled a piece of jewelry also. Happy New Year.

[onegreeneye]

too too cute

[icytaytay]

this person sounds creapy o.O

[swr377]

Love this. I'm trying this today. Thanks..

[nightcats]

@swr377 Thanks. Good luck with your project.

[cetowah13]

This is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this with me; I'm getting my mom to start scrapping with me and she is crazy about flowers - this will be a great thing for us to learn to do together :)

[blackitten2]

These are beautiful! I'm anxious to try them. TFS

[UMaaMsTube11]

Thank You for sharing your ideas. The flowers are lovely. I look forward to making my first paper flowers. I also looked into @sonofjd and you're right, he doesn't seem the type to write something so hateful. I'm sorry that happened to you. Clearly, whomever wrote it is mistaken. I hope you have a wonderful day.

[sonofjd]

thats crap

[nightcats]

@sonofjd I took a look at your profile and I think someone must be using your account. Surely a talented and creative man like yourself doesn't leave these sorts of messages.

[halo2party]

@nightcats

What a punch in the face to him :D

Taking my attention away from your win, comes another epic win: the flowers. Awesome!

[nightcats]

@halo2party Thank you! :-)

[reginarox280]

Thank u so much for making this video. It was fantastic! :)

[nightcats]

@reginarox280 Thank you for your generous comment.

[Myrrhmade]

Thank you for sharing your talent! You were very clear in voice and showing what you did! I have one question...did you use the same punch for all flowers?

[Myrrhmade]

@Myrrhmade Oops! I reviewed it and answered my own question!

[nightcats]

@Myrrhmade Yes, the same punch was used for all flowers. Thanks for your comment.

[FableStream]

AH!

I've always wondered what those tweezer type things in my kit were for.

Thankyou~

[nightcats]

@FableStream There are many uses for the tweezers. LOL Thanks for stopping by.

[robndeb2]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge i shall certainly make some of these

[nightcats]

@robndeb2 Thank you for visiting and good luck with your projects.

[redcrystal69]

Nice! It's funny my mum and I have had this punch for years and never 'tizzied' them up at all, yet I do with like my Tim Holtz flowers. I'll be sure to try some of these the next time I have my hands on the punch :)

Thanks for Sharing.

[nightcats]

@redcrystal69 Good, please do try. So many of our tools are versatile if we look for new ways to use them. Thanks for posting.

[sogua2000]

thank you so much...i just bought the puncher that is call for make those beautiful flowers....bless

[nightcats]

@sogua2000 Wonderful. I'd love to see a picture of the flowers you make.

[missbeep09]

fantastic idea. my head is full of flower ideas. thanks again.

[nightcats]

@missbeep09 Thanks. Glad you found the video useful.

[MsArtistic123]

Brilliant video. I found this really informative - thank you. I often make cards with flowers and usually use glitter or shiny card to add an interest to them - like you I cut out three flowers and layer them. I usually use a crystal brad for the middle but for smaller flowers use a small stick on fake crystal. I sometimes thread small beads on a wire and twisting it around the flowers - looks really nice.

[nightcats]

@MsArtistic123 Thanks for the comment and for the tips. Your flowers sound delightful. I will be trying your suggestion regarding beads on a wire.

[aplaceformycards]

I love your video.... you did a wonderful job.... you make beautiful flowers...thank you so much for the information!

[Skaldi3]

Your video stalls at 2:30 and doesn't go further.

[nightcats]

These things sometimes happen due to glitches in Internet traffic. It's a YouTube issue. Thanks for commenting.

THANK YOU, very nice of you to take the time to show us how to do this very cool craft, I will be doing some with my girls next week, I need to get some materials. Can you do full carnations, I would like to use paper carnations to do a pomander balls for my brothers wedding, cheaper then flowers and just as pretty, Thank you, you are very talented. Keep us thinking.

[KaizaDarkhunter]

Sounds like Severus Snape's mother or something lol.

[nightcats]

I suppose that might make sense if I knew who Severus Snape was. Guess it proves how much cleverer you are than I!

[KaizaDarkhunter]

I didn't mean that sorry, It was my sister who wrote it. See she's obssesed with Harry Potter so she knows about everything about it and she owns all the books. I truly apologize for that, this is why I don't let her on my account heheh..

[nightcats]

No problem. Thanks for posting. I'm sure your sister meant no harm

[KaizaDarkhunter]

Thanks for understanding, you truly are a sweet person. ^_^ and your video was very helpful for our decorations, thank you very much.

Thanks for your lovely comment. I like these flowers too. I haven't made any tutorials for a few weeks due to being preoccupied with other things, but I intend to do more shortly

[nightcats]

Oops, I made the reply above to a comment by silkorganza. She wrote, "I LOVE what you did, PLEASE do more tutorials. Thank you. " I must have accidently deleted her comment instead of replying to it. I hate it when I do that.

[dinkeries]
