Have you used the new Creped Filter Paper from the Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog yet? (you'll find it on pg 6). It's easy to work with and although it seems really thin, it's fabulously durable (and super inexpensive!)!

Here is a card I created and embellished with the creped filter paper flower.

See step by step instructions & a VIDEO below.

STAMPIN' UP! SUPPLIES USED FOR THIS PROJECT:

Creped Filter Paper, #129393

Cardstock & ink: Calypso Coral

Whisper White (4"x5-1/4") embossed with Honeycomb embossing folder.

Designer paper strip and ribbon are from the Sale a Bration catalog...

you can get them FREE starting Jan. 22!

Brad: In Color Designer Brads #122940

Thank You stamp: Perfectly Penned, #122890 / 122892

Paper Piercer #126189 & Piercing Mat #126199

I love how the Thank You tag turned out...I stamped Whisper White Cardstock with Calypso Coral ink and the new oval stamp from Oh Hello (I stamped off onto scratch paper first), and then die cut it with the Labels Collection Framelit! Then sponged the edges to add some depth.

OK, now on to the

Creped Filter Paper Flower Tutorial!

You'll need the Creped Filter Paper, and a variety of Scalloped Circle punches (see below)

I used ONE of the 6"x12" sheets in the package to punch about 12 scallop circles.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: When punching... i needed to put the creped filter paper on a sheet of computer paper (I actually just used the Stampin' Up! Grid sheet show in the photo, available here) and punch both layers at once... the filter paper was too thin to punch by itself.

Step 5, add brad through all layers and you are done!

If you'd like to make a BIGGER flower, use the Floral Frames Framelits and follow the instructions in this Stampin' Up! Video.

Beautiful flower and card - thanks for sharing, Patty. I appreciate the tip about using plain paper when punching - I just got this creped paper, and can't wait to try it out! :)
