Method

To make the origami leaf (see the creation of this leaf in action in the video below)

Step1.
I used the green and white dotted leaf from my kit here,fold diagonally both ways and cut on the diagonals to form 4 triangles.

Step 2

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.

See detailed demo in video below.


To create the Origami Rose

Red and white dotted paper from my kit here

1.Create the cone shaped flower for the frittileria from the kit also called the fish base. (detailed instruction for this is in the kit)

2. Fan out the 4 pointed trainlge to form a star like flower.

3.Fold the corners into the middle metting at the middle of the flower

4. Flip the flower and twist the center firmly pressing down.

5.Adjust flowers by tweaking the "petals"

To make card :

1.Fold a card stock into the desired proportions

2.Using cricut cut 3 consecutively smaller ovals each slightly smaller than the other.

3.Layer the ovals and stick onto the card.

4.Using the .svg provided cut out the "Happy Valentines Day" font and stick onto center,

place the leaves on top and bottom.

5.Create a smaller origami rose using a smaller paper and repeat all steps to create the origami rose.
Use glue to adhere.

And finally if you follow me on instagram I have been trying to learn calligraphy as I find it really useful 

to use for cardmaking and typography so here is a small preview of my work and I hope to be posting on my recommendations to learn calligraphy in my next post!

Leave me a coomment if you have any suggestions!
