What made this project easy was that these are actually flower cards so I was able to glue the stems right in between the sides of the cards. Stems were just from the flower arranging department in Hobby Lobby and they came in this green color. I cut the flower cards at 5". I intended originally to make this into a card set but then decided a bouquet would be more fun. Projects sometimes change scope as I work on them - how about for you?
Paper was by Stampin Up! and through a magical twist of fate and good fortune, I had buttons that matched exactly. These were hot glue gunned into place (is that even a word?...LOL!). Leaves were cut at 2" and I used glue dots to hold them in place. Those glue dots are remarkably strong!
Thanks for looking!
My blog redesign is coming along and I'm really looking forward to showing it to you guys. I hope you like it! I'm going for a fun, but more streamlined look.
Have a great day!

Love these flowers! I do have one question, does the back of the flowers look like the front or just solid white? Thanks for the idea.
Love these flowers!
What a cute set of flowers - it looks like the color of the petal is sandwiched in between the flower. How interesting! I love new ideas.
Adorable, love the buttons for the centers of the flowers--very nice!!--Pat N.
Love, Love, Love that bouquet of flowers. I made one years, I mean years back but never had the cart -it was freehand - can you imagine! ugh. This makes life simple and it comes out more beautiful! So lovely.
Cute flower arraignment.

Great project! I'm bookmarking this one as I'd like to use it for an upcoming shower--perfect centerpieces. Thanks!
I like your new blog design!
Love the bouquet! I'm thinking hot glue gunned is totally a word! I use it all the time :D. I can hardly wait to get Sophie!
Love the flowers. I made a similar arrangement (but no buttons) for end of year teacher gift. I created a second base cut but only adhered the sides and bottom. Then I slipped gift cards into the top each flower of the "bouquet" with just a little of the GC exposed.
LOVE these flowers! I have been spending extra time on paper flowers myselft lately and these are the best! Thanks for sharing!
What great flowers! Thanks!
Clean new blog set up. Love it.
I did something similar to these flowers for valentines day, however instead of using buttons I used a glue dot, hershey's kisses and reese's peanut butter cups.. super cute candy gift that was very well received! (I used the flower in the hello kitty greetings cartridge and another daisy one I honestly can't recall which cartridge that one was from off the top of my head.
Love this, Joy!! I need to do something like this with one of these carts! My daughter would love it.
This came out soooo nice, I love it!! Thanks for sharing.

I knew when I saw this I had to make it with or without Sophie. I cut the flowers and used the polka dot and other paper and used Flower Shoppe petals at 3". Bought some Gerber daisies at a yard sale for the stems, buttons and bling so altogether I have less than $3 invested. Taking to my neice when I go for a visit. She will love them.
