We're finally able to reveal our brand new Pretty Poinsettia Twist & Reveal die-set! It's such an incredible die-set as it enables you to make your own 5-petal poinsettias/flowers which SPIN 360 degrees on your cards AND when you pull the petals, they twist and open to reveal a hidden surprise inside!

Showstopper patterned paper flowers!

There's nothing subtle about these beauties! I made them to decorate our stand at a recent show. I designed them to grab people's attention - and they certainly did! In fact, they attracted SO much attention that we even persuaded Rich to do a live flower-making demo during a live TV show! Anyway, due to popular demand, I thought I'd better share my flower-making secrets with you all . . . Part of the reason these flowers are so eye-catching is...
