🌸 Shaping Flowers from Today’s Launch – Video Tutorial 🌸
I’ve put together a little video to show you how to cut up and shape the flowers from today’s launch, and I really hope you like it! 💕
These flowers are so easy to print and use, and I wanted to show just how simple it is to bring them to life. In the video, I demonstrate how I like to curl and shape the petals to add that extra dimension and softness to your cards. It’s such a quick technique but makes a big difference to the finished look.
I’ve also used a few of my go-to tools in the video, so I’ve linked everything below in case you’d like to try them out for yourself.
