Rosettes!

I worked on these rosettes a week ago and just last night was able to get them hung up in the entry hall of our house. If you walk in the front door you will see them straight ahead, a little to the left! Rosettes are pretty hot in the stamping and paper crafts world right now, many companies have special steel rule dies to cut out your base paper with. You can also cut, score, fold and assemble them on your own. The Martha Stewart scoring board is a great tool for making these. I watched the video that Jennifer McGuire did to make hers and followed her basic instructions.

The outer ring of the largest rosette is made of 4 pieces of cardstock that are 12" x 4" and scored every 1/2". Then you glue all four strips together to make a circle. I used the packaging for CDs to set in the middle of the circle to make it more of a wreath shape and glued it down to some chipboard. Then I made another smaller rosette with all the same patterned paper and it's 2"x 12, 4 of those glued together.A center round disc is in the center for the words/decorations. I used some chipboard covered with coordinating paper. Watch the video to see how to form the rosette if you haven't done that before.

The midsized rosette is made as above, but instead of allowing for space in the middle you glue it in tight.

The smallest rosette is made with just three strips of 4" x 12" paper and the edges cut at an angle. Then I added some Stampin' Up Glass Glitter in silver randomly on the edges of all the rosettes using Diamond Glaze to adhere.
