Card Stock Christmas Centerpieces

Black Friday Sale this weekend!! 

Starts midnight Black Friday, November 23rd, and goes until 11:59 pm Cyber Monday, November 26th. (Pacific Standard Time)

Every flower tutorial that is along the right hand sidebar is on sale, buy one get one FREE*! (*free tutorial must be of equal or lesser value)  Yes, that's right!  Have you been waiting to purchase one of these?  Now is the time to grab one, and get one for free.  Stock up in time for Christmas! Simply make your purchase with the PayPal button found with your tutorial, and then either add a comment to purchaser as to which one you would like for free, or, simply send me an email after you complete your purchase letting me know which tutorial you would like to have for free.  It's as simple as that!!

To celebrate this sale, and to get ready for Christmas, I created two different Christmas centerpieces using my Long-Stemmed Rose Tutorial.  The roses are made entirely out of card stock!!  Which one do you like better?  The red roses in the mercury glass? Or the cream roses in the cranberries?  Both will make GORGEOUS centerpieces or Christmas gifts.  

Thanks to all of you who have already purchased the Long-Stemmed Rose Tutorial.  Here is another way to use it.  Fill a container of your choice with floral foam or filler such as artificial cranberries.  Make 13 Real Red or Very Vanilla coloured roses using the Long Stemmed Rose Tutorial.   The roses in the tutorial are full blown roses with multiple layers.  To make these roses, which are smaller, and resemble tighter roses just leaving the bud stage, simply make the roses as per the tutorial but only with 6 layers instead of the usual number in the tutorial.   Remember to give the petals in the last row a little variation so that all the roses do not look exactly the same.   Cut the stems to 3".   Push the dozen roses down into the floral foam or filler.   

Remember, ALL flower tutorials are on sale, this weekend.  Buy one get one free!  Enjoy. 

Starts midnight Black Friday, November 23rd, and goes until 11:59 pm Cyber Monday, November 26th.  (Pacific Standard Time)
