Time for the Paper Flower Party Recap: Week 2. We have been streaming on Facebook Live all week and sharing ways to use my new Sizzix Flower dies- what fun! I have loved meeting so many of you and look forward to more creative exchanges in the future!
Some of you were asking what supplies I used each night so here’s a link to the show and a list of products used to make the flowers.
You can watch the video here but if you want to leave comments or post pics, you have to do that within Facebook itself. Please share what YOU are up to by going into Facebook and posting photos in the comments section under each video. There are so many ways to use these dies- let’s keep this Paper Flower Party going 😉

Q & A from group discussions
Will the Twist & Style Tool be available at Sizzix UK?
“Ellison Europe does not currently have the Twist & Style tool in their launch plans but that can always change if there is customer demand for it.” Can’t hurt to ask them though right? 🙂
When will the Spring Leaves and Heart & Soul Flower be back in stock?
Both of them should be here by the end of July.
In the meantime, here are links to other Flower dies that coordinate perfectly with the new ones. I love to mix and match petals to make my own uniquely styled flowers- have fun experimenting 🙂
