So i just have to ask.. did anyone see my new blog header?  I took the pumpkin photo YEARS ago and thought I'd add some MDS images to it for my November header.

Anyway… on to today's card… A Folded Paper Flower card by Vinnie for our Luv 2 Stamp Group Stamp a Rama event!  

Vinnie saw this idea in our Stampin' Success magazine (it's a montly magazine exclusively for Stampin' Up! demonstrators, YOU can be one too!) :)  This card idea came from my friend Kerry Schwenneker.. I met Kerry many years ago on a Stampin' Up! cruise!   Anyway.. this was a winning contest entry and Vinnie used the idea for her shoebox swap project.

Step 1: punch out 7 circles with designer paper.. this will really work with almost any size circle… I think we used 1-3/8".  Punch out an 8th circle with cardstock (shown in pink here) to use as your backing.

Step 2: fold the 7 DSP circles into cones as shown below

Step 3: Put adhesive (we used Snail) on the cardstock circle and start adhering the DSP folded circles onto it to form the flower petals.

Step 4: use a paper piercer and mat to poke a hole in the center and add a brad.

Step 5.  Add to card!

We also used the Festive Finishes Pick a Pattern Letterpress plate (pg 21 holiday mini) with Old Olive ink to add the stripes to the card.
