Top of the morning to you.....

Good morning,

I wanted to share with you the first floral piece of art I did. This top hat I made with individual cut dollies and glued together to form a cylinder shape took me a month to create. I love the delicate look of it and thought how about adding some flowers to it. I began by creating some very simple flowers and then adding them to the side. I kept going with more flowers and finished it with a lovely butterfly with the same dolly pattern.

I loved this piece, it was designed for a contest but it didn't win but I was very proud of my design never the less.

Thinking out side of the box is the best way to create one of a kind pieces and really to have fun. Even after cutting 100 dollies I still had fun.

Keep the crafting fun alive,

Hugs,

Laura

Seeing Fall colours.....

I am just a sucker for Fall....I love the colours and I love that we get to wear layers and watch the leaves turns.

Today I designed a few flowers with rich oranges, and teals with a hint of brown and ivory. Can't go wrong with that combo. 

I added some natural cotton branches which soon I hope to make out of paper but all the same they are stunning with these tree peonies. Free down load file at Lia Griffith.com 

I did modify a little the centres to make it more my own spin but they are stunning in the original form.

Have a wonderful day and stay tuned for the full lines of paper products using these stunning flowers.

Grab a prop and strike a pose......

Good morning, I am so sorry for not posting yesterday....I have been busy finishing up two full wedding and snapping a few final photos before they are shipped off. I love that my flowers last forever and can be shipped...haha.

A wonderful friends daughter is getting married in September and I was trilled to be designing her wedding flowers. Can I tell you she had amazing ideas. I love when a bride puts me in place and asks for flowers I have never done before such as the "air plant" can I say yes....I love it.

Are these not the most amazing paper flowers you have seen today....lol. I just love the details.

I can't wait for the wedding to happen and see how OUR VISION came together. Really it was all hers but I helped.

Even the grooms, and groomsman flowers are so pretty.

On that note, have a wonderful day and see you soon,

Hugs, Laura

Forever flowers.....

I love when a bride shares pictures or really anyone that I have created for shares pictures ....so please send them to me :)

I designed this stunning white poppy and blue and purple orchid with light blue hydrangeas cake topper and matching bouquet last summer and I am still in love with it. 

The bride sent me a picture of her cake and the flowers she wanted and this is what I came up with. I could not be happier. 

What amazes me that my hand, paper, and simple tools creates such stunning flowers that last FOREVER!

Have a wonderful day and lets me creating something unique just for you.

Hugs,

Its all cake to me.....or flowers!

With wedding season in full swing its nice to look back and take in the simple yet striking wedding cake. I designed this lovely set of cascading flowers for a romantic Paris inspired wedding cake. The flower are of several varieties and I just love how they flow.

The best part of this cake besides the cake is that the flower will last forever and can be kept for years to come. Wouldn't they look amazing in a shadow box along with the cake pictures and other wonderful pictures taken the day of your special day.

Oh the possibles......

My flowers are forever, customisable and one of a kind. Lets create something amazing for you. 

Not just paper flowers......3-d paper art too!

I do love making paper flowers but my start was in 3-d paper art. I was asked to contribute to a style shoot with the theme of Cinderella. I had created this lovely 3-d carriage from the wonderful svgcuts files. I added my own twist and made it completely white not just white but shimmery white. I love this paper. Don't you love this paper and how it turned out. I love the added details of the pearls to the door handle and the centres of the wheels. What a lovely style shoot this was.

All about the simple statement...

Sometime less is more but that doesn't mean that you can't make a statement. I designed this extra large paper poppy as a single bouquet to make a grand statement as she walks down the aisle. Wow does it ever. Simple white and black flower has an elegant feel.

What statement would you like to see as you walk down the aisle or it your not getting married how about a single flower in a vase in the front entrance of you home. These statement flowers can be used for many applications. Home decor, weddings, or just a fun flower to dance with.....

Enjoy your day and the possibilities......

Hugs,

Something blue...

The saying goes something old, something new and something blue....why not wear something blue in your hair on that special day. I designed this unique hair comb for just that. Two blue orchids and a white day lily on a clear comb. I hand twisted crystals for that added bling.

I love all of this special piece of paper art. Lets design one for you....

Enjoy the sunshine,

Hugs,

Laura
