Tutorial Thursday- Aster flowers


Hello, Anna here :D

I really like to make cards with flowers 
and majority of the time I use ready-made flowers.
However, sometimes I feel like making them myself. 
Today, I want to share with you an easy way to make




1. To make the asters, you will need paper
(I use a handmade paper) in pink color and in green for the leaves.
You will also need glue, pearlized cabochons 
for the middle of flowers, scissors, a spray bottle for water,
embossing tool, craft molding mat,





2. Out of the handmade paper, cut out various sizes of circles
– smaller and/or larger, depending on the desired size
of the finished flowers you want to make.



3. Cut into each circle toward the middle, but leave the middle
section intact. Do that around the entire circle,
so that you will end up with strips of paper arranged around 
the INTACT middle section. The strips do not have to be exactly even.




4. Cut off the corners of each paper strip, to make them pointy.



5.  Next, spray each circle, prepared in steps 4 and 5, with water and leave to dry.
When the paper is dry, twist each strip of paper with your fingers.




6. Lightly shape the middle of each flower part using an embossing/burnishing tool
and then layer and glue one on top of another
– from the biggest one on the bottom to the smallest one on the top.







7.Attach/glue pearlized cabochon in the middle of the top layer.
 Cut out the leaves and arrange together with the flowers.
Your flowers are ready.






.How do you like these asters? 
I hope that you’ll feel inspired to make your own, which I wholeheartedly suggest.
Also remember to join in all the La-La Land Crafts fun by adding

Have fun!

Tutorial Thursday - Z- Fold Card


Hi its Jennifer here with a Z-Card Tutorial.
These are so much Fun to make I hope you have a go.

Z- Fold Card

You need to Cut
2 x of the label shape from the Stitched Elements

Cut 
2 x Ovals from the Stitched Elements
I have cut the base of the Card 24cm x 14.5cm
Then scored at on the long side 6cm and 12 cm
Sorry its a little hard to see.

I have then cut the first layer
2 at 5.5cm x 14cm and
1 at 11.5 x 13.5cm

Then cut the top layer
2 at 5cm x 13.5cm
1 at 11cm x 13.5cm

You then glue the first layer on your base.

Glue your second layer on your first layer. 

I cut the labels in half so there is half at the top and bottom
glued to your two Heart Doily Borders. Do both the same.

I then use dimensions to attach the Oval  to the Doily Borders.

Then joining it to the base when closed one oval sits on the other perfectly.
I also cut a doily in half and glued it under the oval.

This is it opened out.
This is how it sits see how only half the oval is attached to the front.

 Another example a combination of dies.
You dont even have to use ovals this Arched Window worked Beautifully too.
Well I hope you enjoyed this Tutorial and would love to see what you
create with this tutorial.
