Rolled Rose Tutorial
Good Morning Ladies,
I hope that you are all well and enjoying your weekend. We are going to have a relaxed weekend, all being well, after what has been an eventful couple of weeks.
I was a little disappointed when Stampin'Up! Retired their Pansy Punch in May, it was so easy to pick up and punch out flowers for embellishing cards and projects.
I was sat at my desk trying to think of an alternative that would replace the punch. It then came to me!....Rolled roses/ flowers, going right back to basics. You can make them to match any project as they can be made with literally anything.
The video is just a quick reminder of a quick and simple technique.
I hope you enjoy the video my lovelies xxx

Margaret has shared a photo of the cross Stitch that she did for Maria, I was lucky enough to see it before it was framed and I have to say it looks absolutely amazing properly framed, you can see so much detail.
You are so clever Margaret, this is a truly stunning piece of work and I will never forget Maria's face when she opened it!
Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Morning Everyone
ReplyDeleteto all who pop in for a sit and a chat.
MICHELE- congratulations on your Mag page and thank you for your monthly report. Here in France I haven't seen any crafting mags at all. Do you get any in the shops in Spain VAL?
MARGARET - I adore your cross stitch. As always it is immaculate and will look fantastic gracing MARIE's walls.
We had a lovely walk through the market yesterday morning but it was already so hot that I only managed to walk through and then Jim went and fetched the car.
It was lovely to see all the regulars sat both inside and out as all is now set up for the summer season. Thankfully very few holiday makers were to be seen.
I promised a 'cake report' and so here goes:-
JIM had a small gateaux made up as follows:
it was rectangle in shape.
The bottom layer was a piece of thin sponge and sat on top of that was
the most delicious Raspberry Mousse which had Raspberries cut into piece and mixed in.
On top of that it had another thin slice of sponge
covered with soft meringue which had dark choc trailed through. The finishing touch were 3 small Raspberries and a small piece of dark choc.
I had a
small gateaux in the shape of a canoe made of sweet pastry.
This was filled with patisserie cream.
On top of this were small Raspberries each topped with thick cream and a small piece of dark choc.
I have to say that both were extremely delicious but we will be cake free now until next Friday.
Saturday morning here is that 'swear' word here but it will be a quick dust round/sweep up/de cobweb (I really don't know where they come from as we never see spiders) with more attention made to the bathroom. Oh there is a line of washing waiting to be hung out after breakfast.
Have a good day everyone and take care in the sun. HUGS should be arriving very shortly with you all. xxxx
Hi Janet oh my goodness, my mouth is watering. Anything with raspberries I just love. Good job its only once a week that you visit the cake stall.
DeleteI actually have a subscription for Making Cards Mag but the paper man occasionally delivers Papercraft Inspirations and Papercraft Essentials to Lynn's shop and she keeps them for me. If its a free gift I don't want I take it into Craft Club and one of the ladies usually buys it.
Have a lovely day after the swear word of course.x
Wow Janet
DeleteYour cake report had my mouth watering. As Val said it’s a good job you only go to market once a week. The blogger is still playing up so I hope this one publishes.
Mmmmmm, they sound very yummy I must say. Hope you have a good day x
DeleteOh Janet your cakes sound wonderful.
DeleteMorning Ladies
ReplyDeleteSandra-great video & lovely card.
Margaret-what an amazing piece of work, I really admire anyone who does cross stitch, so much patience.
Maria-nice yo see your name with the winners on Sues blog yesterday-we’ll done.
We’re visiting my Father in Law this afternoon but have been asked to call in to see M in L first (at home). We got an email late last night explaining that she’s reluctantly made the decision that Keith needs to go into a Nursing Home & they want Phil (plus his brother & step sister) to have Power of Attorney so I’m guessing she has the required paperwork. But upsetting being told this late last night by email but Heh Ho....!!
Michele
Many thanks for your great mag review Michele. There's a couple there I'd love especially Papercraft Essentials with the beer glass EF.
DeleteWell done on getting a write up one the magazine. Its well deserved as your cards are amazing.
Sorry about FIL but it sounds for the best but a phone call would have been nicer than an email. Hope this afternoon is OK x
Thanks Michele for the mags.reviews. I have got two of them so hope to make some cards.
DeleteSorry you got the news by email, she should have picked the phone up and called you about it. Probably the best for your FIL even if it's hard to do. Take care x
Many thanks for the magazine reviews, very useful, I bet you feel proud seeing your piece in print.
DeleteHi Sandra and ladies
ReplyDeleteWell I don’t know what happened yesterday. I’d updated my iPad. Not sure why I do this, but probably because I was fed up of seeing it. The iPad then let me answer a post. Then decided I needed to log onto blogger. Then it wouldn’t let me do anything. Great magazine reviews Michele. And congratulations on being designer in the magazine.
I’d seen Margaret’s cross stitch as well that she’s done for Maria. It looks lovely framed.
Great card yesterday Sandra. Fingers crossed that this posts.
Hi Pat. Technology is great but not so good when its not behaving itself. My internet went off last night and finally came on about 10 minutes ago. I always think I've done something wrong but not this time thank goodness.
DeleteHope you have a good Saturday and hugs to you and Pete.x
Hi Sandra & all in cafe,
ReplyDeleteSandra thank you for the video, that is something I can do while sat here. Thank you for showing Maria's framed crosd-stitch. Hope you have a relaxing weekend.xxx
Michele thank you for magazine review & well done on being chosen to star in magazine. Thank you for your kind comments on Maria's cross-stitch it is something I lovelove doing. Hope you get on well this afternoon, good luck.xxx
Janet your cakes sound gorgeous & thank you for your kind comments on my cross- stitch, thank goodness I have had some to do now while I cannot do anything else.xxx
Pat thank you for your comment it foes look lovely now in a frame.xxx
Cafe open late today but all supplies have been replaced so plenty of iced drinks etc waiting for you.
Hope you all enjoy the sun & weekend, sending hugs to all who need them love Margaret. xxx
Hugs coming your way xx
DeleteBeautiful cross stitch Margaret. You really are clever. No wonder Maria was delighted with it.
DeleteHope your hit is progressing well.x
Wonderful piece of cross stitch, you must have great patience.
DeleteHi Sandra & Ladies
ReplyDeleteI have just finished my ironing at last I started at 10 30 am. It takes me longer now as I have to sit down and do it i can't stand & do it any more.
SANDRA your video is a great blast from the past reminder I can remember doing those flowers when I first started card making but I didn't use a quilling tool I think I used the end of a small paint brush. Next Week I will go to
Hobby craft I will see if they have a quilling tool.
MICHELLE fantastic mag review thank you. Congratulations On having a write up in the magazine. Sorry about FIL having to go in a care home Shame you got told by email. Would have been better for Phil to be told with a phone call.
MARGARET how lovely seeing your cross stitch for Maria all framed looks even better. I was also lucky seeing it when you gave it to Maria at AP.
SUE hope your feeling better take care Hug's on the way.
PAT missed you yesterday blooming technology windows 10 dose my head in.
Hope Pete is feeling better. Hug's for you both xx
SANDRA hope Twins had a brilliant time last night. I can emagine how beautiful they looked .
Well better go & get ready we are taking 8paws for a walk. Extra 4 🐾paws went home last night both Rea & Bailey were sulking after she went home
( so was we ☹️ ) she is such a lovely dog.
Hug's. for all
Love Lynda xx
Hi Lynda
DeleteWe’ve been up to the school this afternoon. It’s there 80 th year. Pete felt well enough to walk up. That’s two days on the trot he’s felt not to bad.
The men came yesterday to clear the top of the garden. That’s was done and a fence is being erected on Monday. Then the rest will need digging out, hardcore put down then our old slabs will be laid. Pete doesn’t like it but that’s what’s happening. Craig said he’d come and help his Dad put a fence up. Pete can walk up the garden and back and he’s shattered so that wasn’t happening either.
I can just see your 8 paws sulking.
Hope it’s not to hot to walk about for you.
I have never made rolled flowers like this but I have made the SB Bitty Roses
ReplyDeleteI would love to see photos of the girls
Great magazine review MICHELE I fancy getting the beer glad EF and congratulations on your feature Very well deserved
Your cross stitch is gorgeous and MARIA’s face was a picture when she opened it at AP It’s been beautifully framed too - gorgeous
Your cakes sounded lovely JANET Thank goodness they’re calorie free here
Looking after OSCAR has been an absolute dream He is such a happy social soul and hasn’t grizzled once We haven’t done any painting I don’t know about you ladies but I can’t get used this giving them snacks lark mid morning and mid afternoon It’s felt like I’ve been constantly feeding him But then perhaps I’m a bit slower doing the meals times?
So much fun Tiring but fun
Will definitely have a snooze this afternoon
Take care all xx
Hi Ladies.
ReplyDeleteI have never made these flowers but have seen them before so might make some up.I have a lot of scrap paper. Thanks sandra for the tutorial.
Forgot to say Congrats Michele for having a feature in the magazine too. Hope this afternoon goes well.
Sue, I hope you feeling a lot better. Take care until you do.
Yes the frame is looking great to the cross stitch we had made.Thanks for all the nice comments for the art that Margaret made up for me. I can never thank her enough !
Pat- hope Pete feeling better and you both can have a nice weekend, take care.
Karen- sound like you had a great time with Oscar. Apparently to be looking after Louis is very tough right now so glad in some way it is not us. Love to have a grandchild one day tho.
Hi to the lady looking in late last night, hope you doing ok and maybe join us for some cardmaking when you can x
I have lost one day totally, thought it is Friday today.
New company for our boiler came for a check up this morning. Popped out to Lidl for some bbq food for tonight. Going to send a cc to Sandra, nothing special. Football is on and I'm going back to my book sitting on the patio in the shade. Did burn on Monday in the wierdest way and place so will be careful. Isn't it nice tho the summer is here at last and it will stay for few more days,yay
Many hugs winging its way to you all xxx
Brilliant video SANDRA xxx
ReplyDeleteHi everyone.
ReplyDeleteAll my replies to comments has shown up but not my actual comment today. Having problems with my internet last night and this morning so I'll make this quick.
Great Video Sandra. I think I have an old die somewhere that cuts our the shapes. Hope the girls had a lovely time last night.
Have a great evening everyone.
Love Valx
Hello All, hot again, but thunder on the way.
ReplyDeleteSandra love your card and roses, I remember doing these a few years ago, but try to keep my cards flat these days.
Sue hope you’ll soon feel better soon.
Sorry to be late, have a job to make iPad publish these days.
Waiting to see the cards tomorrow, night all. Lilian
Thank you Sandra for this blog page today, the video tutorial of yours is really useful for the paper flowers. Congratulations Michelle on your article publication and the review of this months craft magazines is really useful too, thanks. I have just opened a subscription for Papercraft Essentials as for the past few months I have loved what they have had on offer. This month also if you take out a subscription you get £35 voucher to spend at Craft Stash too - bonus! I love doing cross stitches too Margaret and I am so glad that you got it framed correctly because they look so much more professional when they are framed professionally too. I have a fair few large framed cross-stitched projects around our home and some have strayed to other people's homes such as friends and family too. :O)
