"Heart Punch" flowers

[Dianne Korslick]

Does any one have instructions for creating flowers using a heart shaped punch. I saw a picture of it on an advertisement for Carol Duvall's papercraft book. Thanks so much.

Are these anything like the ones you mean Dianne?

Viv, thank you so much for the links. The first one is the most like the one I had seen. I think the one done by Carol Duvall used a total of 7 heart shaped petals. I thought they had probably used a brad in the centre but I couldn't tell for sure. I will definitely give this one a try!!
Thank you for sharing, and happy stamping!

The one that i did turned out so neat, i used the punch that has a small one and a larger one. You punch 5 of each size, put the points together ,spiral it to make a flower shape. use a small punch or needle in the end for a small brad. then give a light spray of water, wad it up in your hand. gently open up and spread it out, flatten it. i did a large one with the small ine in the center. you can attach with a dot of hot glue afer they have dried. Let me know how it turns out for you. I hope this helped you.

Thank you so much Janeen. This sounds really cool! I will definitely give this a try. I had not thought about
spritzing it with water to soften it up. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks again.
