For our June project club we created this beautiful paper rose explosion box. The box could be used as a mini scrapbook, card, or gift wrapping.

This card was created with no stamping. The cherries are made from buttons, the stem is hand drawn, and the leaves were cut out from the paper pack & popped up with foam dots.

For this layout we wanted to use the Cherry-O Paper pack without using any cherries. For embellishments we added a tulip butterfly which pops off the page, and a crumpled paper flower (see instructions below).
To make a crumpled paper flower, punch out or free hand cut a few paper flowers in similar sizes. (To free hand cut them, start by tracing a circle about the right size. Then free hand petals around the circle. Once they are crumpled it won’t matter how perfect the flowers looked when they were first cut out, so don’t be scared to try it. ) Dampen the flowers with a spray from a fine mist bottle or by laying them on top of a damp cloth. Crumple the flowers into a ball, unroll and crumple again. You can also add additional distressing by swiping them over a coordinating ink pad. Unroll and layout the flowers. Glue them together or use a brad to attach the layers.
