Hi blog friends! How about back to back tutorials, now there is a first for me! I had a bunch of emails asking about the buds that I made from the Blossoms Five die set so I thought I would put this card up and give a good explanation with it. First of all, I was shown this flower while at the Spellbinders. My only contribution was to just use the buds together as a cluster on the cards. Depending on what size buds you want to make, you start with either the second or third smallest die in the set. I do have a teeny tiny bud you can see right at the beginning of the swirl and this was made with the smallest die, but it is a bit challenging because it is so small (not impossible though!). I'll give you a quick rundown on the card then on to the tutorial. I embossed the white background using the Venus Crest embossing folder for some texture. Next I cut two of the Grand ovals (the second size up), one in peach and one in white. I cut the peach one in half and it will hook into the white one to extend from behind forming a sort of shadow mat. Next I cut the smallest of the Grand Ovals in white to layer up. I did a Decorative Labels 27 in peach and cut two Venetian corners to clip on top and bottom. On top of that I cut a scalloped labels one and pierced around the edge of using the die as a guide and finally I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with a smaller Scalloped Labels One die. I inked it with Victorian Velvet lightly and embossed it with the Venus Crest folder while in the die. Remember, you CANNOT close the folder or you will cut into in and ruin it. Cover it with your tan mat and add a few pieces of card and your raspberry plate to make up the depth. I added a bit of rose petal American seam binding behind my rose buds and two swirls from the Venetian set as accents.

Here is a close up of the bud cluster from this card. Follow the steps below to make these buds, they are very easy to do.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Zg-Ls8gYj_Y-FjaNoLDGZp8bIDR8pE7TIwJH_N3B5Kc7Crm9XEcXt0Vdi5CY0nMnqWExWdjmZ1U75AeyI0v5voVWEBvppP9t2Eq3z9CGDSRmwYvV_JnsBBO5y1kkqY4BenqtCEvGPLUU/s400/037.JPG)
To make the largest buds in my cluster above, use the number three size Blossom Five die and cut two of them. No need to emboss them through the machine as you will be using a tool later to do that. I find it is easier to ink the edges at this point. I have used Victorian velvet for my edges (my card is peach coloured). I ink both sides too because you can sort of see the inside when it is finished.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOsbhGDytzpmCYfgP6S0uJc464-OtarG81TPG8DP1ws8xBLWUjywarQv5wO7AnBHs5HuIUvfl3DY-ef5NamsRFbP2dZVA8T9x2-ttfz-wtjiqB1yd5XtDA5JuRxv_oUjVfIOqpvj8kssi0/s400/039.JPG)
Next you need to snip into the pieces at each little recess. Get as far into the centre as you can, but don't allow any of the cuts to meet or you will cut your flower in half! There will be seven sections when you have done this. Do both of them the same way.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlHCPTnVUs31NWZC1Dl2hJR9sTJGK7G0Mx1KocF9yJIgKpeM1SIW4SdfSYS_M9CMGTuMBQZZ5Q57XvrNHesAnlfJSpdfud0TVIqPc61Q-v_6j_J2wWOUx-2FzY2IM0YcEPwrb9QAjFpjV0/s320/040.JPG)
Using a foam mat below you and either a ball stylus or other sort of rounded tool (even a small spoon will work), you want to break down the fibres in each petal and begin to round it. I find it easier to even fold the centre of each petal so it has a crease in it, which helps later when you are assembling it. For the buds, it really doesn't matter which side you use on your flower either.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk8BhzKCHIcmgQpspZ_nhu3GII6mwRdJpBSnMpEIa0me_BPZ61FvWXwxS486GHuRLJU_goIja-dr7u7pDt0ZCAWvqwE4zE8U_mOtdazux8Q9-qo4C-wFSlCiqQ7708xNsRCoLwL69z2b1X/s400/042.JPG)
Next, you need to apply dries clear glue (preferably Cosmic Shimmer brand) to the tops of the petals on the inside and do exactly the same to the second one, but also add a bit in the very centre. Allow your glue to get tacky for several minutes if you can.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaJ_ImQiTpvJy4yb_0ZsdUJsd7orO2vPvnuk0xgJyk66MU8nV7UPhgN83CQz7yZZFZGWejVvzucCEy7WPLdRqLUr09ng0qaI36qWzd2pwbqUgCS86p7qONVFziddBUeB4T2BqnfZR7F4VA/s400/043.JPG)
Once the glue is tacky, begin folding the petals upward by alternating them. There are seven so you will just pick one of the final two to pull upward, it really doesn't matter which one. Get these to form the basis of your bud by squeezing them into a point. If you creased the centre of the petals, this will help here so they can sort of fold around each other. Once they are stuck, fold the other petals up around the first three (I forgot a pic of this). This will form the first part of your bud.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7CcMjkOqu2hQNrb5NxF8oAmRrmSq0OOIcJnPrMoec7rEGDoesNxAEnq0MULEsEQvt7Tdth_uWacGi7dIWcgf8IUdQgMVbv6grhXn_0vvqpDA18DdsSWuECUA0ZtD4v194hqrT4Ad4ZKMk/s400/044.JPG)
Next, set your first bud into the centre of the second die you cut, but turn one of the sections that is overlapped so that it will sit in the centre of a full petal on this die (does that make sense?). In other words, you will be offsetting this one so the new petals will cover the areas not covered by the petals in the first bud.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0iV2uv2YM7l8op9YJBYAhHmcjHDa6BrFTG2EUOCYQ8dW0M3VvIgedB_SfP7Ve7E50RoH8yYWwi0S9bwHTztfLAsQvuScVpTk_vtTiNLJHikFW3CnjzfOz2F2EGue991GnUG4O7oKbHWTV/s320/045.JPG)
Again, repeat it the same way by alternating the petals as you go. Continue until you have all the petals tightly gathered.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGGHhrySUSD1z1x8wZo-udnnvsDKtP5Um0X1UyHA7uRbCfdGwEQ81cFy6G8gZhuxaqMZNlN2-FRE1FDVzWsEufK6JaGXylpQMU0WK8iRxPxgSvwwe_BtISBVZZb-B_pS8lFChW_JoxrwpS/s400/046.JPG)
And finally you will have a nice bud. Here is a close up of mine (the glue is still wet and showing!) I like to add a little more colour at this point using a piece of cut and dry foam and sponging just the top for a more intense colour. I hope you have enjoyed the tutorial on bud making! I think we will finish it into a flower tomorrow for you. I have winners to share with you today also!

Hi there Sue,
Funnily enough i was lieing here in bed thinking about the roses you made as i thought i may have a go at them today and put them on a frame as its mine and my lovely hubby John's wedding anniversary today so because times are hard we arent buying presents for each other, i thought i would alter a frame (that i have) and put our wedding pic in it and actually making my own flowers instead of putting my mulberry bought roses on, i would try making my own and then i came on here and saw your tutorial, its like we read each others minds, lol, thankyou sweetie, i may just have a go, hugs vick xxx

Thank you for the tutorial although I have had a go and made one successfully,it is nice to have something to look at and use as a reference. I was ok with the making the bud but the flower was another thing. I don't know what I was doing wrong but it didn't look like the one you made. Today's card is stunning as always and I can't get over how realistic the flowers look. Congratulations to the very lucky winners.

Great tutorial Sue, easy to follow. Your card is very pretty with the rosebuds!!!
Hi Sue, this card is truly beautiful! I adore the rosebuds!! Thank you for the tutorial - I have had a go at the rosebuds after seeing your demo on C&C and yes you do make it look easy - mine were a bit of a gluey mess! I haven't given up though - no way! I will try again until I perfect them as they are gorgeous. I think it depends what sort of card/paper you use, I will give them a go trying different types of card or paper, maybe thinner cardstock would be better. Sorry to ramble on, but thank you again. Just wish I had half of your talen. Love Sam xxx

Such a pretty and feminine card! Thanks for the rose bud tutorial.
Another absolutely gorgeous card today Sue. I love the peach & white, the pastel colours give you so much "calm" in the soul! The rosebuds are stunning! Thank you for the tutorial of how to make them. It must take a lot of your time up to do these & put on the blog for us & it is soooo much appreciated. The oval dies are beautiful & with them you have made another beautiful card. Congratulations to the winners of the Ally Pally tickets! Have a fantastic time there! Take care Sue xx Love Karen xx
Another great tutorial love the subtle colours with this card.

Oh wow Sue, I didn’t realise that you had made the Rose buds, I thought they were brought ones. I shall definitely have a go at making them myself.
And you card is absolutely beautiful as always.
Happy Crafting!

I adore this card - truly stunning and reason enough on its own to purchase the grand dies lol.
Thank yiou for the flower tutorial - have it recorded but sometimes having stills is a great reminder.
Off to the craft room now to cut some blossoms and give it a try.
What a beautiful card! I can't wait for my dies to arrive so I can try making the buds. Thanks for the clear tutorial.
Wow love these buds - you always give us the best ideas for flower making!
Hi Sue
What a lovely girly card and those rose buds are just stunning. I saw you making them on C&C and knew it was something I was going to have to have a go at.

Thank you so much for the tutorial Sue. My Blossom Five die is on its way to me from C&C and although I heard you mention you were going to show us something special with this die I missed the show where you demonstrated it, so this is perfect. I would never have thought to use it in quite this way so it was a lovely surprise to find all the details. Thanks again. Best wishes - Chrisspi
Thank you Sue, another brilliant informative tutorial and a great card. xxx
Hi Sue, another lovely card & thank you so much for the bud tutorial. I saw the buds on a card on one of your shows but missed how it had been made & as I have ordered this die set, the tutorial will be very useful.

Hi Sue
Love the card such a pretty colour combination & the tutorials are great I am saving them all :)
Hugs x
Thank you so much Sue, I have printed it off and will give it a try when I get the die..... love the card..... x
Another beautiful card and thank you so much for the tutorial, there's no chance of me forgetting how to make the roses now! x
Hi Sue,
Absolutely gorgeous card. The rosebuds are so realistic! Thanks for the tutorial. I will print it out with the card and it will be easier to refer to than finding it amongst all the recordings!
Hope Mom is ok in Florida. I don't know if she is anywhere near the affected areas but on the news tonight the authorities were reassuringly confident that they will cope well.
Congratulations to the ticket winners,
Sue xx
Fantastic card Sue!
thank u for the flower bud tutorial, wonderful, I have been watching on C&C and trying to remember all the steps, so this is much appreciated xxx
Hi Sue
Missed commenting for a while, now back on track. Glad to see you back on C&C with all your lovely cards, hints and tips. Great tutorial, many thanks for sharing. Anne
Hello beautiful, and a big thank you for showing us all how to do the rose buds they look stunning. Zerena
Oh my gosh Sue! I don't have this particular die yet, but I do have other Speelbinders flower dies, that I was wondering how to use and this tutorial was so helpful. I do have a question, if you see this comment....Can other glues be used? I don't have any dries glue, but I do have the Art Institute glue and some Aleene's, but the Aleene's doe not drie clear. Is that the objective? A glue that dries clear and works on paper? Thank you so much for this tutorial! Hugs Lori in South Carolina, USA

A great selection - especially the shaded blue/green strip one! (How did you get the glitter
b/g on the Iris one - SU diamond stuff?)I hope you didn't spend too long making cards - a shame to waste that lovely sunshine.
Thank you so much for the tutorial, so clear, I'm going to show the girls at my Craft Club how to do these as soon as we start up again, they will love them too!
Lovely card and super photos for making the bud.
Wow beautiful card Sue and another great tutorial. Thank you x
lovely card sue must try
I love this card and so pleased you've done the tutorial!
Excellent tutorial Sue - thanks for that.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I brought the die set with this and the Venetian dies in in a large part because of this card and the one you 'tutorialled' yesterday. The tutorial means I don't have to rely on my dodgy memory to recreate the stunning flowers when the dies come (and I find time to make some cards!)
Hi Sue,
What a lovely card,
love the colour combo,
the roses are scrummy,
and your tutorial is fab
