Felt F lowers

By Rose Hurst

These delightful cards are easy to

produce using a heart punch. For best

results use a card blank that is the same

colour as either the flowers or the cen-

tral oval.

Materials Required:

Self adhesive felt in Dark Green and

Bright Red.

2 Black 12mm pom-poms.

6 Double ended stamens.

An oval off-cut 76mm x 114mm:

Smooth White.

Large heart craft punch: PPU106.

Nostalgia corner scissors.

Scallop paper edgers: DCU13.

Small stapler and staples.

Strong glue.

Card mount: SF03U-30, Smooth White.

To Make The Card:

You will need to position the flowers

and leaves fairly accurately onto the off-

cut as there is not a lot of space around

the edge. I have marked a centre dot on

the actual size pattern (below) to guide

you. Lightly marking a dot in the

centre of your off-cut before you

begin will help you to position

the pieces.

Using the large heart punch,

punch out eight hearts in red and

four in green for the flowers and

leaves.

Cut the six double ended sta-

mens in half to make twelve single

ended stamens.

Note: If you don’t have a small

stapler, try using double sided tape

to hold the ends of the stamens

instead, see following instructions.

Flowers:

1. Working

straight onto the

oval off-cut, stick

two flower hearts

opposite each other

then staple three

stamens into posi-

tion as shown.

the remaining three

hearts in the same

way.

6. Cut each

trimmed heart in

half, then trim the

cut side to form a

natural curve.

Stick the leaves

around the flowers.

Felt is very good at

hiding seams, joins and overlaps, any large gaps

can be filled with the little off-cuts of felt from

the trimmings.

Glue the completed design onto the front of

the card blank. Using the scalloped paper edgers

cut a 34cm length of green felt. Peel off the back-

ing, press the felt into place easing it around the

off-cut and trim the end as necessary. Shape the

corners using the corner cutter if desired.

2. Stick a third

heart in place so that

it covers the staple

and three stamen

ends.

3. Bend the fixed

stamens down over

the lower petal to

get them out of the

way and staple the

last three stamens in

place as shown.

After making a cut with scalloped scissors

the felt left on the sheet will have a ‘reverse’ cut

edge. Both shaped edges make good borders

and this design uses the other pattern.

4. Cover the

visible stamen ends

with the fourth heart

to complete the

petals then move

the stamens into the

positions shown.

Stick a black

pom-pom onto the

centre of the flower

and bend the sta-

mens up slightly

until they look nat-

ural. Make a second

flower in the same

way.

Leaves:

5. To shape the

leaves so they fit

nicely round the

petals they need to

be re-punched. Put

a green heart back

into the punch so

the left top bulge

fits neatly into the

dip in the top of the

heart on the punch.

Punch this side then

repeat with the right

hand bulge. Punch
