Flower Punch Board Tutorial, Coupon + Giveaway
Hello everyone! Have you heard the news that We R Memory Keepers and American Crafts are now one company? I am excited about this acquisition. For my Studio post today, I used the new WRMK Flower Punch Board and some beautiful paper from AC/Pebbles Special Delivery.
The flowers are BIG – ranging from 3" to 9" in diameter. I had so much fun mixing and matching the sizes. It is amazing how these beautiful flowers were made from a simple punch board and a stem kit!
Flower sizes and simple directions are printed on the board but it took me a while to figure out how to fold the petals. Once you have it figured out, it will be very fun and relaxing! So I put together a quick tutorial to share today!
"Mountain Fold" means that you fold the paper down at score-line to create a "mountain"; "valley fold" means that you fold the paper up at score-line to create a "valley".
Keep folding and you will see a flower shape forming:
And when opened up, you will get a flower!
Curled petals give the flower a more realistic look.
I punched a scallop circle to use as a simple layer with the flower.
Remember to add the beautiful center stem piece before you screw on the end:
Easy, peasy, right? All you need is to pick your flower size and punch away!
Here are the sizes I used on my project:

Tutorial
Flower Size: S (5" dia.) Paper Size: 2-5/8" x 12"1. Punch and Score:
Follow the directions printed on the board.
2. Fold the Paper:
"Mountain Fold" means that you fold the paper down at score-line to create a "mountain"; "valley fold" means that you fold the paper up at score-line to create a "valley".
Keep folding and you will see a flower shape forming:
3. Finish the loop:
Add adhesive to the first little triangle as shown and adhere the two ends together.
And when opened up, you will get a flower!
4. Curl the Petals:
I think it is a genius idea to include a roller in the board!
Curled petals give the flower a more realistic look.
5. Add Stem
We get 10 sets of stems in one Stem Kit.
I punched a scallop circle to use as a simple layer with the flower.
Remember to add the beautiful center stem piece before you screw on the end:
