Weekend Project! Mint Bridal Shower Bouquet

I'm still playing with the candy crafts!!! And did you know that these mints only stay soft for about 3 months and then they become hard as a rock? SO if you are planning on making these or any other projects that use the round Pearson's or York Peppermint Patties you may want to wait to buy them a week or so before the event to be sure they are as fresh as possible but yet still give you time to tape your finished pieces on. (Right Katie???)

Now I can't take full credit for this. I found the pattern for the bouquet on SplitCoastStampers. Meredith Burnsed has quite a few pages of items she's made using only punches!!! Some of them are just unbelievable!!! You'll have to go on over there and do a search for her name and take a look at her creations. Sorry I don't have a direct link to her items. I downloaded these many months ago and finally printed them out a few weeks back.

For the Bouquet you will need the following punched pieces:
"Scallop Circle, 6 pointed flower from the new "Boho Blossoms" punch, flowers from the "Three for You Punch Box" and the center of the flowers are from the 1/8" Circle punch.


I took my Mat Pack and piercing tool and punched holes in each one of the scallops on the white piece.

Then I added the three green pieces I punched out from the Boho Blossoms punch. These pieces are representing the leaves. I punched out one more to cut apart to use pieces from it for individual leaves.

Then I glued the flowers on with my two way glue pen. I tucked a couple of leaves in where it looked too bland. You'll know where to add them just by looking at your bouquet.

For the ribbon part I took a 3" piece of Bashful Blue grosgrain ribbon and cut very close to the edges. I folded it in half and then cut it. I had 4 thin strips when I was done but felt it needed a bit more so I cut another piece of ribbon and cut the edging off it. I glued it in place under a flower so the edges wouldn't show. Once the glue set I trimmed the edges and then taped it on top of a York Peppermint Patty.

Isn't it just adorable? Wouldn't this be a lot of fun at a bridal shower??? It sure would be a lot less to make of these than ones for a wedding!!! This looks like it's a lot of work because of all the pieces but much to my surprise it went together pretty fast.
