3-D Enchanted Flower Tutorial

Hi there Imaginisce fans ! I'm Aida Haron and would like to share with you a 3-D project I created which is perfect for Enchanted. It's really easy to get this right, and makes a pretty gift or for a wall in a girl's room.

Here's the finished project :


Are you ready ? Let's start !

1) Papers used are are both sides of Enchanted Fairy Trails and If The Crown Fits.


2) Cut a petal shape using a thin chipboard as a template - the petal is 3inches tall and 2 inches at the widest


3) Trace and cut 8 petals from each side of the pattern paper Fairy Trails.

4) Ink the edges of each petal, crease the tips and curl it slightly.

5) Cover a coaster or a die-cut 4.5 inch scallop circle with paper and ink the edges.


6) Cover a 6X6 inches chipboard with paper as a base for the 3-D flower.

7) Build the flower on the base in 2 layers.

8) I stacked a couple of small carton pieces to raise the center.

9) Top the center with the circular chipboard piece. I’ve added an additional backing with a plain green pattern paper to frame the flower better.


To finish, add your favorite photo, embellish with a paper i-Top brad and enchanted ribbons. That’s all there is to this 3-D project ! This is really fun to make, it does not take a lot of time and makes a wonderful gift especially when presented in a shadow box.

We're giving away another Enchanted Collection today! Entering to win is easy, just hop on over to Aida's blog and scroll through her fun projects and come back here and leave her some love in a comment.

We loved how Aida embossed the numbers on her core'dinations cardstock and then sanded the raised portions to make the lettering pop. And let's not overlook the darling 3D flowers she created with Imaginisce's Scooter's Vacation and Splash Dance Collections.

...makes you want to touch the embossed letters, doesn't it?

Glimmer Mist & Snag 'em Stamps

Have you ever thought of simply stamping in black with one of the Imaginisce Snag 'em Stamps (TLC Bouquet shown here) and then spritzing it with your favorite Glimmer Mist spray by Tattered Angels? Personally I'm addicted to these sprays and have found tons of uses for them. Here's a fun sample from Aida Huron using both our Snag'em Stamp and Glimmer Mist.

Be sure to check out Aida's blog...she's been creating some amazing things with the Splash Dance collection.

Metal Glue and Buttons with Tammy & Aida

If you're like me, you've wondered about that Tombow Mono METAL Glue...right? I assumed it was only good for metal embellishments, but apparently that's not the case.
The Metal Glue, features a super strong bond that will securely adhere metal trinkets and embellishments to paper. Safely glue photos, cardstock and small plastic adornments with glue that dries completely clear.

Here's some creative ideas from Aida and Tammy from our design team. Be sure to click through to their blogs and check the projects and their tips out in detail. Aida created this fun tag album with tons of buttons she needed to glue down. Tammy's below created the cutest frame and she too loved how well the glue worked for her buttons!!
