TUTORIAL How to make huge paper flower / Cum sa faci o floare mare din carton

I have way too many paper scraps. Probably 80-90 % of my items that I make and sell are made from my desire to get rid of my paper scraps. And this huge flower was made as a result of that desire. Anyway I love how it turned out with all the feathery like petals.

Am prea multe resturi de hartie. Probabil ca 80-90 % din lucrurile pe care le fac si le vand sunt facute din dorinta mea de a scapa de toate bucatile astea din hartie. Si floarea asta uriasa a fost facuta tot ca rezultat a acestei dorinte. Si iubesc cum a iesit, cu textura de pene a petalelor.

Start cutting the leaves and  transform them into paper feathers for a fluffy effect.

Incepi prin a taia petalele. Apoi fiecare petala e franjurata ca o pana pentru a ii da efectul de volum.

Cut 4 different sizes of petals.

Tai 4 marimi diferite de petale.

Start gluing them on your base.

Incepi sa le lipesti pe baza de carton.

Start making the middle of the flower.

Incepi sa faci mijlocul florii.

And a delicious chocolate cake....favor boxes

Si un delicios tort de ciocolata...cutii marturii

Colorful paper flowers / Flori multicolore din carton

petal favor boxes / cutii marturii floare

I love these kind of favor boxes (or envelopes) where each petal comes part of the next petal.

Imi place tare mult acest tip de inchidere la cutii (sau plic), ca o floare, unde fiecare petala vine pe sub alta petala.

Square card boxes with paper flowers / Cutii patrate cu flori

These are some square card boxes with paper flowers that I made quite a long time ago. They are 7x7 cm and can be filled with sweets to make lovely favor boxes.

Cu ceva timp in urma am facut aceste cutii patrate cu flori din hartie. Au 7x7 cm si pot fi umplute cu dulciuri ca post de marturii.

Made another gift tag...which I love cause turned out so cute.

Am mai facut un stil de etichete pentru cadouri...care imi plac la nebunie pentru ca au iesit super dragute.

Tiny houses cake toppers / Casute pentru prajituri

Tiny paper card houses 

I love these tiny houses, but with any tiny thing you'd think it goes really quickly. But no, it is quite time consuming to hand-make them. But they do look really lovely.

Imi plac tare mult aceste casute, si unii au impresia ca lucrurile mici se fac repede. Dar nu, ia cam mult timp sa le fac de mana. Dar sunt adorabile.

Paper butterflies / Fluturi din carton

Colorful butterfly decoration - how to use our paper butterflies!

A client asked for these butterflies. Aren't they beautiful? Although my hand hurt for a few days from cutting all of them I am glad I did it. And how lovely do they look on the flower arrangement?

And everything packed...

Si totul impachetat...








O clienta mi-a cerut acesti fluturi. Asa-i ca sunt frumosi? Desi m-a durut mana cateva zile de la atata taiat ma bucur ca i-am facut. Si cat de frumosi sunt in aranjamentele florale?

On my desk / pe masa de lucru

On my desk...

I am making lots and lots of white doves.
I am also trying to make my packaging boxes pretty so I am doodling them (since I discovered Alisa Burke).

Pe masa mea de lucru...

Fac multi, multi porumbei albi...
Deasemenea incerc sa fac pachetele mai creative asa ca desenez pe ele (de cand am descoperit-o pe Alisa Burke).

Amazing artists / artisti minunati - Alisa Burke

An artist that I love is Alisa Burke. She is full of creative ideas. 
I thought that if I draw it needs to be perfect. But this takes a lot of time and I just don't want to do that. But seeing Alisa's work made me realize there are many many styles...perfect in imperfection. So Alisa inspired me to start painting. 
It is so great because I was looking for some time a way to brighten our house, and this style - huge painted flowers - is exactly what I am happy with.

I love her statement wall...

Imi place peretele ei pictat...

And my very own version... (first time painting)

Si versiunea mea....(prima data cand pictez)
















And there are so many other projects that I want to make, like...

O artista care imi place tare mult este Alisa Burke. Este plina de idei.
Am crezut ca daca desenez trebuie sa fie perfect. Dar asta ia o gramada de timp si nu vreau asta. Dar vazand blogul Alisei am realizat caci sunt multe, multe stiluri...perfect in imperfectiune. Alisa m-a inspirat sa incep sa pictez.
Este chiar super pentru ca demult cautam un proiect care sa ma ajute sa infrumusetez casa, iar aceste flori uriase pictate sunt perfecte.
