Maria made my dream cake a reality! Her cake topper was a masterpiece! The colours, flowers and details of the cake topper were spot on and truly magical. I couldn't thank her enough for her amazing handiwork, and I'm very pleased to have discovered her on Etsy. If you are a bride wanting a fairytale themed wedding, Maria is your cake topper person! :)</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have felt frustrated with my scissors many times and by researching many and going through many I have come upon this one!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Initially I was not much of a fan of a score board but when I started to origami boxes,this has proven this extremely useful to get clear and crisp score lines.I know EKSucess has one at Staple but I got mine at Michaels and mine is Martha Stewarts,great scorer comes with a scorer,great tool!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">During my craft journey I never used to use these until I started to work with clay,clay techniques do involve using bamboo toothpicks.So it happened by chance that I had only bamboo skewers on me after a season of grilling:-) I started to use it for paper and clay and it has proven to be my best go to tool ever!! My mom used to used small thicker wire to roll the edges of paper as seen in my DIY videos but I think the bamboo definitely has taken over that in my research!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5.Wire cutters</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">To tell you truth I hate cutting wire! and I had trouble with the small cutter that is available at most craft stores,so I started researching again and landed with a great wire cutter from Lowes Hardware.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">Great on the hand -the other takes a toll on your hands! Especially with 18 gauge or more stem wire.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">I have found it great to cut the stems of a bouquet that extend at the end and you want trim it at the end.It is only great for wire cutting but..not for fresh stems.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">Great buy!</span></span><br />

A great glue gun is essential! I started using the mini glue gun from Michaels because it could achieve fine work.Well,then I got the first large paper flower wall and I went through 3 of them,burnt down 2 and had burnt finger and sore fingers for days! The large is great for large work but a stand is essential.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have though reading the side effects of inhaling the smoke out of it using of a glue gun to minimum.It's a choice you have to make..Use only in a well aired room and keep kids away due to smoke inhalation and burns. Make sure to buy a dual or a high temp to do large projects.</span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Method<br />
<br />
To make the origami leaf (see the creation of this leaf in action in the video below)<br />
<br />
Step1.<br />
I used the green and white dotted leaf from my kit <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Origami-Flowers-Super-Paper-Pack/dp/1589238982/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8&_encoding=UTF8&tag=stjudescreati-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=ef8d993f9a80260c33f3ef2dff67f00b&camp=1789&creative=9325" target="_blank">here</a>,fold diagonally both ways and cut on the diagonals to form 4 triangles.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4DA3MyhIeAo/WJUIXy0GmqI/AAAAAAAAJ4k/-pz4N0ohasA5x20dY9DfQw0i-CMTr7QugCLcB/s1600/how-to-make-a-origami-rose-step1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4DA3MyhIeAo/WJUIXy0GmqI/AAAAAAAAJ4k/-pz4N0ohasA5x20dY9DfQw0i-CMTr7QugCLcB/s400/how-to-make-a-origami-rose-step1.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Step 2<br />
<br />
Pleat the leaf from the lower corner to corner and bring both side down to fan out the leaf.Apply glue to stick ends in place.<br />
<br />

<br />
See detailed demo in video below.<br />
<br />
<br />
To create the Origami Rose<br />
<br />
Red and white dotted paper from my kit <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Origami-Flowers-Super-Paper-Pack/dp/1589238982/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8&_encoding=UTF8&tag=stjudescreati-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=ef8d993f9a80260c33f3ef2dff67f00b&camp=1789&creative=9325" target="_blank">here</a><br />
<br />

To create this tree I used the paper again from my origami flowers kits (you can buy this kit from <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Origami-Flowers-Super-Paper-Pack/dp/1589238982/ref=as_sl_pc_qf_sp_asin_til?tag=stjudescreati-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=QZL7TQ2KCT277VTT&creativeASIN=1589238982">here </a>using all those gift cards you got over the Christmas)which has been translated into many languages with new covers which I love!<br />
<br />
I chose green and red for some and some brightly colored pattern for the other to create these cute and colorful trees!<br />
<br />
Step1.<br />
1.You would need a 2 pages from the kit or any paper on hand,here I have chosen a green chequered paper and a bight red paper.The paper from the kit are double sided which makes it all the more fun to craft!<br />
2.A scissors<br />

How to Make 100 Paper Flowershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07495570964413645425noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26078504.post-74263110038395224722016-12-23T14:28:00.003-08:002016-12-27T13:32:23.328-08:00Tissue Paper Pointsettia Paper Flower Tutorial <div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Poinsettia is one of most beautiful flowers here in New England during Christmas.I am sometimes surprised at its vibrancy and the colors they come in..they are sometime spray painted with silver and looks so beautiful adorning the altars of the churches here during Christmas.I was so inspired by this flower that I wanted to try one out but it took a turn and I landed with a new twist to a little old classic mesh wreath technique that is now very popular in the USA.<br />

Reading about the poinsettia flowers I found this old Mexican legend about how Poinsettias and Christmas come together, it goes like this:<br />
<br />
There was once a poor Mexican girl called Pepita who had no present to give the the baby Jesus at the Christmas Eve Services. As Pepita walked to the chapel, sadly, her cousin Pedro tried to cheer her up.'Pepita', he said "I'm sure that even the smallest gift, given by someone who loves him will make Jesus Happy."<br />
<br />
Pepita didn't know what she could give, so she picked a small handful of weeds from the roadside and made them into a a small bouquet. She felt embarrassed because she could only give this small present to Jesus. As she walked through the chapel to the altar, she remembered what Pedro had said. She began to feel better, knelt down and put the bouquet at the bottom of the nativity scene. Suddenly, the bouquet of weeds burst into bright red flowers, and everyone who saw them were sure they had seen a miracle.<br />
<br />
From that day on, the bright red flowers were known as the 'Flores de Noche Buena', or 'Flowers of the Holy Night'.
The shape of the poinsettia flower and leaves are sometimes thought as a symbol of the Star of Bethlehem which led the Wise Men to Jesus. The red colored leaves symbolize the blood of Christ. The white leaves represent his purity. Beautiful story!
<br />
<br />
To make this pointsettia you need:<br />
Step 1:<br />
A 12 inch wreath form - from Michaels<br />
A set of tissue paper more than 20 by 20 inches wide in 2 greens and red.I found one with glitter on them this time - any thing is good!<br />
A florist wire - you can use chenile stems too! I didnt have them on hand..<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZFt_SD6fRLY/WF2dn5ksJ5I/AAAAAAAAJss/qN5t92gXsy8UwWmlJzHlUBglFb1vJeK0gCLcB/s1600/paper-pointsettia-diy-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="tissue-paper-pointsettia-tutorial-1" border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZFt_SD6fRLY/WF2dn5ksJ5I/AAAAAAAAJss/qN5t92gXsy8UwWmlJzHlUBglFb1vJeK0gCLcB/s400/paper-pointsettia-diy-1.JPG" title="tissue-paper-pointsettia-tutorial -1" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Step 2.<br />
Just like the mesh wreath that we make cut pieces of 10 inches of wire and tie onto each division of the wreath ring one on the outer ring and one set in the second inner ring.<br />
Now take longer pieces of the wire and make cross wires on the partions so you should get a pattern like below.I hope you can see where I have tied it.I have just made my first one so I guess there will be more improvisations soon..<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 3.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cut 10 by 10 inches of the greens and red - if you have a 20 by 20 I divided each into 4.The darker green I used a bit larger one as I wanted it to peek out more at the ends.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was the tricky part for me initially I couldn't figure out how to keep the tissue paper looking full so my origami ideas came into play - how I love origami now!</div>

Step 1.Origami Flowers Kit you get mine at a deal from Amazon <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Origami-Flowers-Super-Paper-Pack/dp/1589238982/ref=sm_n_ma_dka_US_pr_pub_1_1?sigts=1482421060789&sig=97fce5960ea2fba862403b329177161a8ab7b8e4&adId=1589238982&creativeASIN=1589238982&linkId=b7f9212e7fe85dc583a4c35acf71467b&tag=stjudescreati-20&linkCode=w43&ref-refURL=http%3A%2F%2Fstjudescreations.blogspot.com%2F&slotNum=2&imprToken=OfiJnS4iKWoVn5b7B9Mzbg">here</a> If you do not have one you could use any square paper it would work but preferably double sided like the kit to get it extra nice! You would need five or six papers of the same design,here I have used a double sided one with red and white designs on one side and green on the other for contrast.<br />
2.Scissors<br />
3.Staples or Tape<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gjb5M6OKta0/WCoA4yEfpHI/AAAAAAAAJo0/7UI1EGHb2MoJ6CGGDSC2U17I2F6bYHVEACLcB/s1600/buttercream-flowers-cake-succulent.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="succulent-buttercream-cake-flowers" border="0" height="475" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gjb5M6OKta0/WCoA4yEfpHI/AAAAAAAAJo0/7UI1EGHb2MoJ6CGGDSC2U17I2F6bYHVEACLcB/s640/buttercream-flowers-cake-succulent.jpg" title="succulent-buttercream-cake-flowers" width="475" /></a></div>
<br />
Now for every birthday I try to make a effort to try the korean buttercream techniques out.Succulents have been always a great favorite of mine and so I tried icing some for my husband's birthday I took inspiration from a few site which I will link below.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--JiU1Xy3Vcg/WCoFlesxqRI/AAAAAAAAJpY/CbHvvzD3ZK4rUWDeY_BfjZqWI-S0wdu5QCLcB/s1600/buttercream-cake-succulent.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="succulent-buttercream-cake" border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--JiU1Xy3Vcg/WCoFlesxqRI/AAAAAAAAJpY/CbHvvzD3ZK4rUWDeY_BfjZqWI-S0wdu5QCLcB/s320/buttercream-cake-succulent.jpg" title="succulent-buttercream-cake" width="405" /></a></div>

<br />
The cake was a chocolate cake and I crushed some chocolate cookies to create a sand effect on top.The flowers are individually iced like I did for my daughter's bday here.this time I used wilton tips.I will be putting the affliate links below.I used more of the star tips for the cactis.<br />

So before I went for my vacation I got some amazing paper from Distinct Papers and I came with fresh ideas from my vacation!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Over the month I saw a lot of water lilies and was inspired by Asian techniques of palm frond folding so I was inspired to recreate the same in paper! The palm fronds are generally folded and dresses important occasions such are weddings or any festivals.So here you will be learning this easy technique to create it in paper.It has inspired me and I hope to do more research to create some more offshoots in paper! </div>

When ripe, the fruit splits apart and releases masses of seeds attached to silky filament-like hairs that are broadcast by the wind.</span></div>

How to Make 100 Paper Flowershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07495570964413645425noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26078504.post-14080450740446261342016-05-13T07:13:00.001-07:002017-01-13T17:17:40.873-08:00Top 8 DIY paper flower tutorialsSpring time is here and all the gardens here are looking so pretty.The flowers are in full bloom and the tulips this time are doing well.I do love gardening so its been wonderful to see all the perennials come up each year to bloom again.It's that time of the year to move all the houseplants out to feel the warm rays of the golden sun.I have been lately having allergies to cherry blossoms and so the paper flowers I have been making have been a fantastic option.The beautiful blooms in paper I see online are so gorgeous and so realistic nowadays and a huge plus is that they do not need to be watered! They stay pretty for months with a no effort at all and you have the personal satisfaction of a gardener minus a lot of effort!<br />

They usually include Jordan almonds, known in Italian as Confetti,so here is my twist to it.I used Hershey's Kisses for this rose. They will be perfect gifts for baby showers,baptisms or birthdays!</span><br />

<br /></div>
Step1.<br />
Cut a large square from the crepe paper around 2/1/2 inches square.(the hersheys kisses need to fit in it)<br />
Fold it diagonally into a triangle.<br />
<br />
Tip: Bend the top of the stem into shepherd hook shape.This is prevent the stem from slipping off.I have learnt this the hard way that if we do not do the bend the flower slips off (to my horror at the most essential time) I do see instructions without this but if you are going to be moving the flowers around a bit like I do for an event this is greatly advisable.<br />

Step2.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Bring over both the upper corners of the triangle wrapping around the hersheys kisses overlapping each other keeping the stem wire inside.It's a juggle but with some effort you will get it and will be a pro soon.Hold ends down and tie tightly with the thread/wire.Cut off the extra thread.You already have the Hershey RoseBud ready!! Isn't that easy? Add sepals and tape to the stem to make the easiest Rosebuds ever..(This one is all credits to my mom who passed this technique onto me)</div>

I have been enamoured with the Origami Flowers Super Paper Pack and my kids have been using the kit to make lots of flowers from it!! Here are some examples how you can use the lovely papers from the origami kit. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
<b>The word Origami</b> (<span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja" xml:lang="ja"><a class="extiw" href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%8A%98%E3%82%8A%E7%B4%99" style="background: none; color: #663366; text-decoration: none;" title="wikt:折り紙">折り紙</a></span><sup class="t_nihongo_help noprint" style="font-size: 11.2px; line-height: 1;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Installing_Japanese_character_sets" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Help:Installing Japanese character sets"><span class="t_nihongo_icon" style="color: #0000ee; font-size: 8.96px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; padding: 0px 0.1em;">?</span></a></sup>, comes from <i>ori</i> meaning "folding", and <i>kami</i> meaning "paper" (<i>kami</i> changes to <i>gami</i> due to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendaku" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Rendaku">rendaku</a>)) is the <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_art" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Paper art">art</a> of paper folding, which is often associated with Japanese culture. In modern usage, the word "origami" is used as an inclusive term for all folding practices, regardless of their culture of origin. The goal is to transform a flat sheet square of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques. Modern origami practitioners generally discourage the use of cuts, glue, or markings on the paper. Origami folders often use the Japanese word <i><span class="Unicode" title="Japanese transliteration"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirigami" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Kirigami">kirigami</a></span></i> to refer to de<span style="line-height: 22.4px;">signs which use cuts, although cutting is more characteristic of Chinese papercrafts.</span><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1" style="font-size: 11.2px; line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: isolate; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origami#cite_note-1" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;">[1]</a></sup></div>

The small number of basic <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origami_techniques" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Origami techniques">origami folds</a> can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs.

In general, these designs begin with a <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_(geometry)" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Square (geometry)">square</a> sheet of paper whose sides may be of different colors, prints, or patterns.

How to Make 100 Paper Flowershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07495570964413645425noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26078504.post-85587413674465710212016-03-28T10:48:00.002-07:002018-03-06T11:04:32.810-08:00Paper Plant - A Bromelaid DIY tutorial I have been thinking of creating paper bromelaids for a long time since I thought the Fire Flowers in my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/How-Make-100-Paper-Flowers/dp/158923751X/">How to Make 100 Paper Flowers </a>book closely resembled a bromelaid... In case you don't know what a bromeliad is, it's those plant you see at supermarkets for gifting,they trap water in their leaves.<br />
<br />
A very hardy plant the epiphytic vriesea bromeliads are native to Central and South America. They are prized for their interesting and brightly colored flat (swordlike) flowers. They do well as indoor plants in shady conditions, and they can be kept outdoors as long as they are kept warm in shadier balcony gardens. Here is one version of my bromelaids,I am hoping to do more versions of them in the near future and a DIY to create them.If you are the type of person have a "black thumb" :-) these are for you..They won't wilt even if you dont water them.<br />
<br />
They are a gentle tweak on the fire flowers from the book.Templates are also in the book.I would love to hear your comments so do leave your suggestions or comments below!<br /> Be sure to sign up the $50 paper giveaway and a signed book from me ending Sept 30th,2016.

Orange Blossoms</h6>
I have been trying to perfect my orange blossoms for a while and after tossing out many approaches<br />
finally I have arrived with this one...in the process I am just enthralled at the design of the flower!<br />
Orange blossoms are a well know addition for all vintage theme weddings after Queen Victoria adorned herself with it on her wedding day.<br />

<br />
There were many many periods where I have thought I should stop crafting and find a different avenue but always the love of crafting and the creative process always won out.It was never easy especially juggling a family and 3 kids! So I guess it was a dream come true...so dream on!<br />

<b><span style="color: red;">Tip1:</span></b><i> I have been using a lot of scissors over the years <a href="http://www.fiskars.com/">Fiskars </a>are my best bet for thick paper (like my <a href="http://www.stjudescreations.blogspot.com/2011/01/chanel-fashion-show-inspired-huge-large.html">large paper flower here</a>) till now and mine is well worn out but I also use these steel scissors (see above) also called "barbers scissors" for fine cuts like stamens.I found hem at local pharmacys or even your local grocery store if you don't have one do consider buying one if you are in the "cutting world" I hope to be sharing more tips each week,follow me on instagram id paperflowersjude for the heads up and some instagram followers only tips..</i></div>

<br />
I thought I should put these and all the stacks of paper I have left over after all my orders and all the paper I have ordered for the 3 books I wrote a while back,so some time back I was in card making deluge..and recently I came back to these and thought this was the time to take pictures of them and perhaps redesign a few of them to sent to loved ones..especially with my new cricut machine that I have to add sentiments..<br />
<br />
I sometime looks at all the paper I have and wonder and gulp :-) as I am sure all crafters do..<br />
<br />
Here are some basic card I made all created using paper punches,some are via Martha Stewart and some are Fiskars..<br />
