Corner Punch Flower

I made this card Saturday and I really like how the flower turned out.  I make a little tutorial for you if you want to try this technique. 

 

I used the Scallop Trim Corner Punch and punched the corners of two 2" Squares and two 2 1/2" squares.

 After punching all 4 corners of all 4 squares I clipped in on the middle of each side of the small squares and made a "v" shaped notch and clipped in from the center of that towards the middle on the larger squares.  Don't clip in too far so all 4 petals stay together.  If you do clip too far and a petal falls off it would be simple to attach it without it showing since they are layered and a large button or brad center covers the center.

 After clipping, fold from the edge of the punched out corner to the center  of the clipped square.  I turned down part of the scallops on the smaller squares but started just past the "v" shaped notch on the larger ones.  I hope that makes sense!

 I adhered the 2 large and 2 small ones together, alternating petals with glue dots.  Regular adhesive probably won't be strong enough to hold the flowers together.

 Put a brad or a button in the center and the flower is finished!  I used one of the beautiful Vintage Brads in the Cajun Craze flower above.

 You can add extra dimension to the flower with a little sponging around the petals. 

 Although these flowers have plenty of dimension!  They are a great addition to any project.

I just couldn't stop until I tried one that is multi-colored.  I reckon I need to go make some with DSP, those will be great!  I'm thinking a Cherry Cobbler flower with a little Dazzling Details will be a nice glittery Christmas accent.  I need to go play a little more with this technique!  Let me know if you try it too, I'd love to see your creations.
