Vintage Vogue Stamp Set
This is a remake of a tissue box that I showed you last week. I promised you a tutorial for the rose and it’s time!
Stampin' Up! Ornament Punch
I started with 25 ornament punches in Whisper White. The more punches you have the fuller your rose will be. The ornament punch was offered by Stampin’ Up! in the Holiday Mini Catalog but I have good news for you! The punch is not pictured in any of the current catalogs, however, it is still available! The item number is 116794 and it costs $15.95.
Sponging with Pretty in Pink
I want the rose to have two tones so I am sponging the edges of the punches with Pretty in Pink Classic ink.
Embossing Stylus
I used a stylus to curl the edges of each ornament punch (petal). You want about 1/3 of the petals to be curled slightly, 1/3 curled so they look like a U when you look from a side view, 1/3 curled considerably and 1 totally curled. Is that as clear as vellum for you? Let me give you a picture that will hopefully define that better.
Ornament Punch Rose Petals
I hope that makes more sense now. For the tighter curls I grabbed a thin paint brushed to wrap the punches around.
1 3/4" Circle Punch
Punch a 1 3/4″ Circle and then start working around the circle to adhere the petals. Begin with the least curled petals. I am using Sticky Strip because I want to make sure once all the weight of the flower is added it’s going to stay in place.
Work in a circle
Continue working around the circle to attach the petals. Use up all of the least curled petals and then work to the next level saving the most curled for the end.
Ornament Punch Rose Coming into Shape
As you get closer to the center of the flower you’ll want to make the edges of your petals overlap more, this will help to lift them up and give the flower shape.
Paper Rose
There is just one more piece to insert, the most curled petal. You will know when it’s time to put in the last petal, it’ll be the last one you can possibly fit in there. I started with 25 petals and used 23 of them.
Paper Rose
The rose looks great but it is no complete without some leaves to frame it.
Ornament Punch Leaves
I punched out three of the ornament punches from Mellow Moss and then used an Always Artichoke Stampin’ Write marker to draw in the vein lines.
Creating a paper leaf
I sponged on some Always Artichoke Classic ink and then used paper snips to cut a zig zag edge on of the leaves.
Bottom of the flower
Tuck the leaves behind the flower. (This a view of the bottom of the finished project.)
Paper Rose made from the Stampin' Up! Ornament Punch
And here we are! What do you think? I know the tutorial is long and may seem like it would take a long time to make one of these but I can tell you that it really doesn’t take all that long. I spent way more time typing this tutorial than it takes to make one of these flowers!
Now obviously with all these layers you’re not going to be able to put this flower on a card and mail it. A rose like this one is meant for a good size 3-D project or at least a card you’re planning to hand deliver! I have seen some other versions of this flower, some of them with fewer petals making it less bulky. You may wish to check them out, the ladies offering them are: Chera Wiest (who originally inspired me), Shawna MacKenzie,and Rhea Anderson.
If you have any questions or comments about making this flower please leave them in the form of a comment. Most likely if you have questions someone else has the same one so I’ll answer them there for you. Thank you for stopping by and for any and all comments!

I was asked a question about making the little snowman gift tags in my 
I used a bone folder to fold a piece of Whisper White cardstock in half. The bone folder gives a nice crisp fold which you really need for this since you’re going to be putting the folded cardstock into a punch.
Insert the folded cardstock into the Stampin’ Up! Small Tag Punch making sure you can see the fold in the “hole” so you’re not punching on it.
In other words, once you’ve punched the tag out, you want the remaining hole to look like this.
And you want the tag you punched out to look like this.
Stamp the outside as desired. You can do the stamping before punching as well but with the tag from the Two Cool Dudes Stamp Set I find it easier to stamp after punching.
Punch another tag without any folds out of cardstock using the Stampin’ Up! Tag Punch (this one is larger than the other we used with the white.) You’ll notice I’m using Night of Navy Cardstock here, however, in the first picture you saw I used Whisper White, you can do whatever suits you and your style.
Layer the stamped tag onto the larger tag and then attach ribbon or cord as you desire and write a little message inside. It’s that easy! If you have further questions please don’t hesitate to ask by leaving a comment or using the 
Many of you asked for a tutorial for this box when I posted it on the Holiday Blog Tour. Your wish has been granted! I hope you’ll take the time to scroll down and see how this fun box is made!
You will need the following
Fold on the scored lines of your 9″ square piece of cardstock. See the squares that are in each corner after you fold it? Cut in to the scored line on just one side on each of the four corners. You’ll want Sticky Strip on those little corners. Put the Sticky Strip on the “good side’ of your paper.
Fold your 3.5″x7″ and 3.5″x3.5″ pieces of cardstock on the scored marks accordion style making a W shape. Use some adhesive to close the middle fold making the dividers into upside down T shapes.
After the fold is adhered shut put adhesive on the top of the T’s so you can then place these in the box for dividers.
Here’s what it looks like with the dividers.
the square you wish to adjust.
If the lid is too tight to fit over the box, you may need to tuck it into the box. I used Brocade Blue Wide Grosgrain Ribbon to tie up the box after placing in the contents. In my box you’ll notice I have placed 12 3″x3″ cards (6 each of the 2 designs) and 20 tags (10 each of the 2 designs).
Use a Versamark ink pad (or even a craft ink pad if you want a certain color behind the glitter) to stamp the image you want glittery. (As with embossing powder, an embossing buddy or dryer sheet rubbed across your cardstock before stamping can help take away static and decrease stray bits of powder.)
Pour Heat and Stick powder over the stamped image. (It is always helpful to use a powder pal under you cardstock to catch the access powder. With its easy open spout it’s simple to pour the powder right back into the container.) 
Tap off the access powder and even feel free to give the back of your cardstock a little flick to make sure it’s off. You will want to be sure to empty your powder pal before the next step.
Use your heat tool to heat the Heat and Stick Powder. You want to heat it until the powder turns liquid looking. You’ll need to continue to the next step rather quickly so read ahead. 
Pour your Dazzling Diamonds or other glitter onto the image while the Heat and Stick powder is still warm.
You’ll want to heat the image once again to get a firm hold on the glitter. This should not take more than a couple seconds. If you hold the heat on there too long the glitter will scorch and it will be visible.
The Dazzling Diamonds tends to be very static charged. You may want to use a tissue to gently rub across the image to wipe away access glitter.
Here’s a glimpse of what the image looks like in the end. It’s hard to capture the sparkle of the glitter but hopefully you get the idea. Use the image as you wish in your project.
