I just can't stop playing with Berry Blossom Designer Series Paper. I cut up a storm using the Fun Flowers Bigz L Die and the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and Stylus
I simply selected three different designs from the 12 X 12" Berry Blossoms Designer Series Paper, cut them into 1" - 1-1/2" and 2" strips, glued two 12" strips of the same design together, and fan-folded the paper every half inch on the score lines.

I had a PM asking for tips on how to get these cute babies to lie flat once made, instead of popping up into cones. Here's what I wrote back:
There is a trick to keeping these lovely flowers flat. Here it is:
On the inside ends of the flowers (center of the fanfold flower), punch a hole in every fan fold with your Crop-A-Dile. It may take several (2 or 3) punches to make all the holes. Then string Linen thread through all the holes and gather and tie off.
Place your circle centers over the fan fold flower centers hiding where the linen thread is gathered. I used hot glue to hold my circle centers in place until they were dry and I placed a punch on top of the die to hold it down until the glue was set. Then turn it over and do the back side. I finished off both sides so that both sides could be used, since the reverse sides of Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers are totally different than the front sides. (I originally uploaded both sides of the flowers in two posts, however, Splitcoast stamper moderators have been taking down photos they deem to be too similar to other photos you've already posted) ... I don't know... I really like seeing as many ideas as possible when I'm looking for inspiration. If intersted in more views, vist my blog:
