Would you enjoy making paper flowers to use as embellishments on your handmade greeting cards, scrapbooking layouts, art journal pages, planner layouts or other paper craft projects? If so, there’s a brand new craft die set you absolutely need to know about. It’s the Small Layered Flowers Die Set designed by Galina Filippenko for Waffle Flower Crafts. This die set includes a small flower, a larger flower, leaves, and flower centers that you can mix, match, and layer together to create your own custom blooms and flower groupings. The dies can be used with patterned paper, colored cardstocks or white cardstock; if you choose white or light-colored cardstock, you can paint or color on the flower petals and other parts to customize the flowers the way you want them.
There are bunches of reasons I recommend this set:
- The flowers you can make with this set are gorgeous! You will be so excited to see how pretty they are, and better yet, how pretty your projects will turn out when you use them!
- The set is seriously affordable; with a suggested retail price of only $8, this set compares favorably against packages of pre-made flowers, which typically cost $6-$10 per package. This die set allows you to use up your paper scraps and transform them into gorgeous, three-dimensional layered flowers that are every bit as pretty as the packaged flowers, without the significant expense. Once you’ve purchased the dies, you can re-use them over and over again, as many times as you want to, to make all the flowers you need for your projects.
- The dies are small enough that you can use them to transform even small and otherwise useless paper scraps into flower embellishments. For me, this is a huge plus, but your mileage may vary. If you are hoping to make gigantic flowers, this set is not what you want. Please note that this set makes small flowers measuring about 1-5/8″ in diameter.
- The set is easy to use.
- These dies are extremely versatile! I use the die set as intended, and I also sometimes use pieces from it to enhance stamped flowers from other sets. The flower center that comes with this set is especially versatile, and you can layer the pieces you cut with it overtop of flowers printed onto your patterned papers or flowers you stamp using whatever flower stamps you happen to have on hand.
- The dies are high quality and are made in the USA! They cut beautifully and cleanly.
- You can make these flowers look different, depending on the materials you use, the way you order your layers, and whether or not you do any extra work to ink or draw on the flower petals, leaves and flower centers to make them look more three-dimensional. You can make flowers specifically designed to match every project you create. See my example projects below for some ideas — and if you click through to the manufacturer’s site, you can find some short videos with even more ideas for using these dies to make the flowers look interesting and realistic.
