Stock Petals
1.
Trace five (5) petals onto Pretty Pink DoubleMates card stock
using the pattern provided below.
2.
With the Vivid side of the DoubleMates facing you, tear along
the outside edge of each of the five traced petal patterns, tearing
the paper towards you.
3.
Dip each cardstock petal into water and pat off excess water with
a paper towel. Each cardstock petal should be damp but not wet.
Pinch the narrow end of each petal until it forms a spoon-like
shape.
4.
While the cardstock petal is still damp, curl the edges of the
petals (either outward or inward) by rolling the edge of the cardstock
petal between your fingers. Once you have the curl you want, allow
the petal to dry. DoubleMates card stock will dry very quickly
and will hold the shape. This easy craft idea technique only works
with DoubleMates card stock.
5.
Once dry glue the petals together to make a flower using a glue
gun of paper glue. Place a small spot of glue on the pinched end
of one petal and stick it to the pinched end of another petal.
Repeat until all petals are in place.

Stock Leaves
1.
Trace and tear two (2) leaf shapes from the Spring Green DoubleMates
card stock.
2.
Dip each leaf in water and pat dry as noted above with the cardstock
petals. Pinch the ends of each leaf and then curl one of the pointed
ends to the desired shape. Allow the cardstock to dry.
3.
Put glue on the non-curled pinched end and glue it either underneath
or between the petals.
Center
1.
Glue coordinated button of your choice to the center of your card
stock flower.
2.
For few "dew drops" on the petals, apply a light line
of glue to the edge of some of the petals. While the glue is still
wet, sprinkle clear micro glass beads or glitter onto the glue.
Allow to dry before handling.
3.
Now admire your beautiful card stock flower made with DoubleMates
card stock. Experiment with colors and layout to make your card
stock garden grow.
