Paper Rosette Embellishments

We all love embellishments for paper crafting and we all need to use up our stash of paper scraps. The new Tim Holtz die (in the photo) will help you satisfy both of those needs. This die easily turns 12" strips of scrap paper into pre-scored pieces that are easily folded, taped, and then flattened into rosettes. To further decorate these rosette embellishments, stickers (like the button ones from American Crafts or Easter ones from Studio G) or Prima flowers and brads can be added. The Sizzlet three die set in the photo was used to make the doily decoration for the rosette beneath the die. Like eating chips, making these rosettes is addictive; but it's a fun way to use up all those pretty scraps. Packaged attractively, they would make a sure-to-please gift for a crafter friend or a guaranteed-to-sell craft fair item. Thank you for being a reader of my blog. I hope that you found this information valuable. Please visit again soon for more ideas. It would make my day if you left a comment. I appreciate all of your feedback.

Hi Lynn, I used the same decorative frame set on my project today. Great minds think alike! You sure made quite a bit of rosettes and they're all different too. Nice!
