Cinch & Go Flower

Hi Everyone

This is a quick tutorial of the Cinch & go flower, I hope you understand it, if not please leave a message and I will get back to you.

 Here goes!



These are the items you will need


This is for the full rose


This for the bud


spritz  with water to make the cinch easier


.next scrunch the first layer of the  flower, you don't have to be too careful, that's what makes every flower individual




Add some more glue and add each layer of petals


You will end up with a bud like this, if you want it tighter just scrunch it tighter or add a bit more glue to each petal



After layering the 4 smaller layer of petals together, add the smallest of the 2 big petals to the bud. I still have not used the largest petal of the die set yet. I hope this makes sense.


Once glued and dried, use the tweezers to open the petals.



 I hope this tutorial comes out OK, as I was helping Paul with plumbing problems while doing this tutorial. any questions, please ask.

Big Hugs

Tina XX

    Hi Tina,

    Thanks, this is perfect. Just one question... so far! What weight is the card you use for your flowers?

    Thanks

    Hi Tina

    Awwww, thank you for this, you are an absolute sweetheart! It is a beautiful set of dies with those extra flourishes and all. I like my old Spellbinders tattered roses but the cut is so close to the centre, so easy to tear the petals so I tend to just make more stylised flowers with those now. These, like Sue's roses aren't quite so delicate and seems they stand up to a little more manipulation. I am going to give my Spellbinders "create a flower" rose another go in the new year, I was given some lovely handmade paper yesterday which I shall save for flowers as it's a nice mid weight with lovely decoration.

    Thank you again Tina, I appreciate how much time these things must take. I hope your plumbing issues got resolved.

    Hugs from me to all of you and Billy thanks you for the fluffy cuddles and sends some big Billy kisses by way of return,

    Hi, I love to visit your place on the net. So much inspiration here.The tutorials you give are aways clear. Thank you. You did well while helping out with the plumbing, while making this tut. at the same time....good on you! I do have one question....what paper have you used? Because of the close ups it looks like felt. Also what glue do you find best for making flowers? I am always after a quick drying solution... Hugs

    Hi Tina great tutorial, really easy to follow, don't have this die but have something similar so will give it a try, or perhaps this is an good reason to get a new set of flower dies.
    Keep well.

    Thank you for the photo tutorials. They have very helpful and easy to understand. I got a chuckle about the mammo experience! I don't know how it is throughout the States, but here in Central Oregon they make it as comfortable as possible (warm up the hands and "plates") but not much they can do about the squishy part. I've been following you for a few months and enjoy hearing about your family and absolutely LOVE your beautiful cards. So wishing all of you in G.B. a Blessed and Very Merry Christmas from Oregon.

    Hello Tina,
    Thanks for the fab tutorial. I have been wondering about getting this set (I have so many flower dies) but after seeing this, I'm going to order it, so I thank you, but the Bank Manager may ring you ha ha.
    Now as to the plumbing problem that Paul had. I hope it was in the house and nothing personal !!!!!
    love Maureen xx

      Hi Maureen

      If your bank manager calls I will say you need to up this lady's over draught cause you never know what
      else she will need.

      Regarding plumbing, If it had been personal you would not have got me within feet of the problem. Thank goodness it was the Insinkerator ( which I call the butt munch, all the waste food.)

      Glad you liked the tutorial.

      Big Hugs

    Wonderful tutorial! It's easy to follow and understand. I'm doubly excited to get out my new Cinch and Go dies and begin creating your roses. I've made some time consuming roses using other dies and really love the ease this new die set makes crafting a rose. Thank you for sharing.
