Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Today's project is a remake of my Pop-Up Mini Christmas Tree but this time I created a flower in time for spring. Just like the Christmas Tree, this Flower Display folds and fits an A2 envelope.
The flower was created by die cutting a cardstock with a Lawn Fawn Stitched Flower Frame. I die cut 6 pieces of the flower. I folded this on the center. I adhered the flower's back side against each other leaving the two edges open so I can adhere the stem die cut and the string for the interactive circle.
The spinning circle was created by punching a circle inch photo and adhering a clear 1" bubble cap over it. I punched two more circle cardstocks. I heat embossed one of the cardstocks with the sentiment and smiley face from LF Critters In The Attic stamp set and LF Love Letters stamp set. I sandwiched a transparent thread in between the cardstocks on the back of the bubble cap circle. I adhered the ends of the thread to the open portion of the flower.
For the stem, I die cut several stems from the same flower die set on brown cardstock. I adhered this on top of each other. I adhered a part of this to the open portion of the flower. I adhered these flower ends together to hide the thread and the stem.
For the vase, I die cut a patterned paper and an inked stenciled heavy weight cardstock with the Honey Bee Double Stitched Polygons die. I created a I adhered the patterned paper to the heavy weight cardstock. I made this into a vase by creating a cardstock tab that will hold these two pieces of die cut together. Using a scrap cardstock, I scored this at 1/2", 1", 1/2" and 1". I snipped off the end leaving a bit of an excess where I will put the glue on. I also created a holding tab insert which is scored at 1/4", 1" and 1/4". I glued it in between the polygon die cuts as you can see in the photos below.

I added glue to the tip of the stem and adhered it to the holding tab. I added leaves to the sides of the stem.
This flower display can be placed inside an envelope which you can mail to the recipient.
