Stamp and the print

Kids love stamping. Roberta's stamps inspired me to carve simple stamps from erasers for my children. Use special gouges if you have (like lino cutting tools), or a craft knife if you don't. A ballpoint pen is good for drawing on an eraser. After the stamp is ready, apply some paint (we used watercolours) and print.

Floral greeting card with spiral flowers

-
Image
I tried to make a greeting card with three-dimensional flowers. The techniques is described in detail in " Paper Crafts Workshop: A Beginner's Guide to Techniques & Projects ". In short: Draw a swirl on coloured paper. Cut the paper following the swirl design with decorative scissors (waves of different types). Start cutting from the outside to the centre. Roll the swirl from the outside towards the centre around a thin round stick or using a quilling tool. Remove the stick and let the rolled paper free. It opens a little into a flower. Pull the centre (a small circle) of the swirl and glue it underneath. Cut out leaves, place them on a soft pad and gently press in veins. UPDATE: Don't miss the video tutorial on how to make such roses.
