Punched Flowers

I had three options today...I could either clean the house, mow the lawn or do craft...doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out which option I went with lol! I had another empty coffee jar lying around so I thought I would make it into another gift to have on hand. I followed a tutorial on Valitas blog which is here to make these fuschias...I have to confess I didn't have all the Stampin' Up! punches I needed so I had to improvise with what I had on hand for some of them...I wrecked these a bit by using some stamens I had in my craft stash so next time I will make them myself. I used some designer paper to wrap around the jar and added an old Olive ribbon...It's filled with chocolates (of course) and is now ready for the next time I need a little something for a little someone.
It's one of those days where I have a million things I would like to try so I think I will pop back into my craft room and decide what to do next!
