I found them on YouTube and the demonstrator is a Stampin' Up gal named Dawn. Click here to see the video I watched.I've been thinking about if I should make videos instead of posting a bunch of photos. But personally I prefer pictures. When I watch a video tutorial I have to watch it over and over again until I get it. If I have a photo in front of me I can just STARE at it until I understand. Know what I mean?
Please let me know what you think. Videos or photos?
Anyways, back to the flowers...
you'll need:
- double sided patterned paper
- circle punch
- adhesive
- flower center (button,rhinestone,brad)
optional:
- ink
- bone folder
Fold them in half and then half again, so that the circles are divided in four quarters.
Fold two edges in so that you will get a point. 
Do the same with all 8 circles.
Turn the circle over and fold again so that the two edges meet in the middle. I did a sloppy job here as you can see. I was so eager to get done;)
Repeat with the other circles.
Cut out another circle. This is to glue all the pedals to, so it doesn't matter what color it is.
Cover it with double sided tape.
Start with attaching the pedals to the circle.
This can be a bit frustrating..at least it has been for me; I either have too much space or too little. This one turned out OK.
Finally, add something pretty to the center!
Now I have yet another paper flower to add to my box;)

Thank you, yet again for another great tute!
I LOVE these flowers!! So beautiful! I prefer photos for the same reason....I can go back and study the photo.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I too, prefer the pictures as I can look at them and see more clearly on how to do something. Plus I print it out and sit down somewhere and do this without having my computer right there. You really did a wonderful job! Have a wonderful day!

I LOVE!!!! I used this tutorial to make a bunch of my own! love the contrast between patterns, i used my own vintage buttons. check out my blog http://www.whimsicalworldoflaurabird.blogspot.com/
I love this!! Now I have to go try some of my own!!!
I prefer photos to videos that way it is easier for me to follow along! I don't like watching videos over and over and over. Once is good but as they say, "A picture is worth a thousand words"
Thanks for doing them this way for us!
Hi Helen, even after a few years I still use these flowers :) My most recent layout is here:

Thanks again xx
Love these flowers, and yes I agree sometimes they can be a little tricky but the end result is so worth it!
Photos for sure. I am the same way with videos
I just found your blog and watched all your tutorials. Last night I started making some flowers. I'm pretty impressed! Thank you so much. I needed to watch the video once and then used your pictorial. That was a perfect combination for me.
what lovely flowers. I have to try these out.
thanks for sharing!
