Creating a meaningful, pretty page was so easy for me having all the fabulous coordinating pieces that go with…*NEW* Amber Road at my finger tips. My page for today’s blog post, is about my sweet little boy and is designed to resemble a wrapped gift…hence the play on words for the title. The flower in the center turned out so well that I thought I’d put a tutorial together for you. Take a look below.
- Amber Road – Postcards 00206
- Amber Road – Apple Cider 00203
- Amber Road – Bonfire 00205

You will need the following to make the flower:
- x8 1/2″ strips of Amber Road – Harvest Hayride 00204 cut to 3″ long
- x8 1/8″ strips ofAmber Road – Apple Cider 00203 cut to 11/2″ long

- A stamped compass image from the Amber Road – Impressions Stamps 00213
- x1 brad Amber Road – Bella Brads 00209
- Embroidery thread & needle.
Fold the strips in half & secure. Glue the stamped compass onto the scalloped circle.
To make positioning the strips evenly & make glue marks on the underside in a star shape. Attach the folded strips & narrow strips.
Cover glued underside with a scrap of paper to neaten. Make stitch holes around the compass image & back stitch with orange thread. Insert brad & you’re all done!
Seeing as I made another flower for this tutorial, I thought it shouldn’t go to waste so used it for a cute card, using the same design idea as the my layout!
