Instructions:
1. Fold the teabag tile according to
butterfly folding
instructions and make one butterfly.
2. Punch three daisies from each of the two colors you chose
for the flower petals.
3. Punch three miniature suns from the color you chose for the
flower centers.
4. If you have an embossing tool, place the daisy pieces face
down on the fun foam and carefully emboss the back of each petal
so that it curls up. After embossing petals, turn the daisy over
and emboss the center so that it indents. Emboss the miniature
suns until they are bowl shaped.
5. Take one daisy of each color. Glue one daisy on top of the
other so that the petals of the bottom daisy line up with the
spaces of the top daisy.
6. Glue a miniature sun to the center of the flower you created
in step 5.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the remaining two flowers
8. Score and fold the 5” x 10” cardstock to form the card
blank.
9. Using your border punch, center and punch a design on all
four sides of the 4” x 4” square.
10. Center and glue the 4” x 4” square to the front of the card
blank
11. Center and glue the 2 ½” x 2 ½” square on top of the 4” x
4” square
12. Arrange the butterfly, flower and leaves in the center of
the 2 ½” x 2 ½” square.
