Hello friends
Today a tip when using the Bauble Blossom dies, these are the ones that contain a quilling strip.
When these were first launched I had a flurry of emails and I recently received a couple
more questions so thought I would offer some tips.

if not I found the end of a pokey tool works well.
Once you get started coiling try to keep it as even as possible.
Cards coil differently, if your card feel inflexible lightly mist with water to break down the fibres.
To attach the petals to your quilled base, the embossed/right side goes on the inside.
You may want to use two strips of petals to create a fuller flower.
A fine line of glue along the entire length of petal strip ensures it's a permanent flower!
The shop is still having some maintenance carried out at the moment but re-opening tomorrow.
The paperwork at home is depleting, I can nearly see the bottom of the filing tray - hurrah!
Take care friends - have a great Tuesday.

Good morning Christine
This looks like a very useful die. I do love flower dies and have many in my collection.The tip about misting the paper/card stock is brilliant - I have struggled with some card.
Enjoy your day

Thanks for the top tip-I got this die set ages ago & haven't been brave enough to use it! Feel up to the challenge now.

Hello Christine
Another Die that I haven't been brave enough to tackle...but seeing your demo it might go on my never ending list!
Pretty colour card too!
Love Marg
Morning Christine

Morning Christine, I have these dies and haven't used them, thank you for the tutorial, I hadn't realised that the straight strip was the central part of the flower and that you glue the petal strip onto that. I will get them out now and give them a try.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Good morning Chrisitne,
Thank you for the brilliant tip once again, you have the unique gift of making even the simplest of dies look fabulous!
What are you having done at the studio?
Will you be having anymore of the Silver workshops?
Boo to paperwork, much nicer to be crafting!
Big hugs

Morning Christine,
Not dies that I would have bought, but seeing the very pretty flower I may have to change my mind.

Hi Christine. Thanks for the tips. Looking at the two shots of the flower You wouldn't think it was the same one would you, it just shows what a tweak or two does! Well done for getting to the bottom of the paper pile. Every time I get around to finally sorting mine I vow not to let it build up so much again but before I know it the tray is overflowing again, do you have the same problem I wonder? Other things (for that read crafting , of course) are always much more important aren't they : )) Enjoy the sight of the empty filing tray later on today. Take care.
Lovely dies and a beautiful flower xx hazel
Hi Christin, great tip,thank you.

Well done for dealing with the paperwork Christine, it isn't mu favourite job either, though I tend to do as much as possible online these days.
I have a similar die (different make, sorry) so I'll have to go and look it out, it hasn't seen the light of day for a good while now.
Hi Christine, Looks quite easy to do will have a go now. love Jean Z xxx
I have these dies and never use them because I end up with petals in same place all the time, will have another go. Thanks. xxxx
Hi Christine,
I am a bit late today,I have been really busy in the garden,where does the time go.
Thank you for the Tuesday tip,I really love the flower you have made. Take care. x.
Hi Christine, really useful tip today. I don't have this die but can see how useful it could be. Anne x
Hello Christine, I have never been happy making these sorts of flowers. They always end up so bulky but maybe I'll follow your tip and have another go. Wish me luck. xxMargaretxx
Fantastic dies , x
