Punch art designer Kate Childers designs a paper rose page to honor her mother (who enjoys floral design and arranging). Childers uses beach-themed shell punch designs in a new way -- to create flower petals and leaves. Materials: Jumbo Conch Shell punch
Large Starfish punch
Large Conch Shell punch
Three shades of paper: two different shades pink or red for petals; green for leaves
Embossing tool or cotton swab
Quilling tool
Glitter gel pen or glue
Acid-free adhesive
Accent pen (in color slightly darker than petals)
- First, punch two conch shells from the first two paper shades. Adhere petals in opposite directions to a small rectangular square of hand-torn paper.
- Next, punch a few more petals. Use an embossing tool or cotton swab to "bend" each petal in the center. Adhere over the first two base petals, gluing opposite ends over the center.
- Layer a few more curved petals, then use accent pen to slightly shade the edges of the lighter petals.
- Next, punch starfish shape from green paper. Adhere to base of rose petals.
- Twirl a length of green paper around a quilling tool to make a dimensional stem. Adhere to base of rose.
- Use conch shell to punch a few shapes from green paper. Curl paper and adhere one to each side of stem. Use glitter gel or glue to accent leaves and give the appearance of "dewdrops."
- Adhere base card to page and add others as desired.
