Flower Soft
I finally used my flower soft today. I wanted to share the picture with you. I'd like to see what cards or projects you have done with yours. It's new to me so always up for ideas. I can't believe how easy it was!
You can see the picture of my card HERE.

Thank you! I'm in the US but I bought it on eBay. I checked your eBay.ca and here's the link to it:

Thank you for the video link. Ok now that I have seen how it is used, where can I get it from? Preferably Canadian, but I do like to shop anywhere that has great prices and good shipping to Canada. This stuff is so cool as my 4yr old said as she was watching the video with me. Thanks for your help/enabling.

Thanks for the link. I did find a couple of places that sell flower soft. One is Stamping Bella which is Canadian and the other is 7Kids College Fund which is US, they have great prices and shipping is fast.

Monica great card! I have yet to do more of those as I don't have the patience!
Here's a cupcake card that I did recently using Baby Pink Flower Soft for the icing. I've used in on the card toppers and love the pretty pots they have too, I gave them away before I could photograph them. I've also used them with Thomas Kinkade stamps and they're stunning!
Cupcake Card
I know that Classic Scrapbooking in Chilliwack, BC carries lots of Flower Soft, card toppers, pretty pots and variety boxes but they don't sell online

Chemspice,
Great card!!! Great idea! I love it. Thomas Kincade would be great to use it with!
Cynamom,
You just use regular craft glue and it stays on their great once it dries. You will love it!

now see I would NEVER have thought to use it for a texturized look like frosting..That is way cool!
oooh the new Christmas green that just came out would be awesome for fir trees for the Holiday season...haven't seen a white , is there one? that would make way better snow than flock...and the yellow would make cute little baby chicks....

Elen Hutson sells starter and sampler Flower Soft Kits:
http://www.ellenhutson.com/servlet/t...oft/Categories
Flourishes used to have a a selection of starter kits, but last time I was looking they were no longer listed.
I love the bicycle stamp with the flower baskets. I am waiting for them to come out with a flower cart stamp to use with Flower Soft. I just might dig out my old SU flower cart stamp.

I should know better than to read threads about products. I placed an order with 7 kids for the flower soft that they had, and the colors that they didn't have I ordered from Stamping Bella, what can I say I am an all or nothing kind of person when it comes to my supplies. I can't wait to get them and start playing. Thanks for all of the information.

The new LSS in my area doesn't carry FS. I asked the owner about it today and she got right on-line/phone and started ordering. Should have them pretty soon. I love that you can add layers to get more dimension on your project. I also really like the paper pots they carry on the FS website. SOOOO many options with those. Can't wait to get my hands on some.

I love all the cards. So much talent and creativity here. Thanks everyone for all your shares.

Little quilled pot with flower soft
A little quilled pot that I put flower soft into for flowers. It measures approximately 1/2 an inch. You can see it in my SCS gallery HERE. Thanks!

What is everyone putting there Flower Soft into when they take it out of the original container? I was thinking of using small plastic containers that I have from the Dollar Store, but I realized that would take up alot of space, I have all the colors except 6 and they should be here next week. Do you think that putting the Flower Soft in Ziploc bags would be alright? After taking some out of the original container I see why they say it won't fit back into the container there is alot there. Thanks for any help, I don't want to empty out all the containers until I am sure what will work best for the products shelf life.

right now I have only used 2 colors and you are right, plastic containers will NOT work as far as space saving.. so yeah, when I open the next few colors.. plastic baggies! I use my embossing powder trays anyway so it's easy to funnel back into a baggie.

As I know .. Flower Soft is an amazing pot of coloured sprinkles that allows you to create text, designs and miniature floral embellishments, it�s acid free and is loved by card makers and scrapbookers alike and of course Flower Soft also makes fabulous realistic plants for dolls houses too!

No, It's thicker and has much more dimension.
