Stampin' Up Scallop Circle Accordion Flowers Tutorial

Good Morning Everyone! Today I'm sharing another Technique Thursday where I will show you how easy it is to make Scallop Circle Punch Accordion Flowers. These flowers are featured on page 123 of the New Stampin' Up Idea Book and Catalog 2010 - 2011. If you don't have a copy of it, you can download it from my right sidebar. The flowers can be made with the regular scallop circle punch for small flowers and the new 2 3/8 scallop circle punch for large flowers. If you would like to order these punches, click here. Enjoy!
