♥ ephemera tutorial ♥

good evening everyone♥

i hope you had a beautiful weekend.

we had springy, beautiful weather here and we LOVED it. we rode bikes selling cookie dough tubs for a school fundraiser, attended softball tryouts and AAU basketball practice, had a beautiful day at church, played board games with the kids, enjoyed snacks at the park and made chile verde in the crock pot, yum! i hope yours was beautiful and filled with fun, outdoor activities and lots of love.


i wanted to share the tutorial to create my dear lizzy-inspired ephemera. these would be perfect on lo, cards, gift bags, jars, you name it. i love having embellies created on-hand because if i need a last-minute card, they make the perfect quick embellishment.

i created my ephemera using my Cameo


i used the spiral flower peony and the 3-D peony i love both of them so very much and they added a very different look to the flowers.

i also used Papertrey Ink's just the ticket stamp set, but there are lots of tickets to choose from in the Silhouette Store



however, for this tutorial, you will need


  • large circle punch (2" or so)
  • small circle punch (3/4 or 1")
  • scissors
  • pp (especially the gorgeous pp from the MARCH Nook kit
  • cardstock (colors to match your pp and small scrap of cardstock for bottom of spiral flower)
  • small stamps (for ticket)
  • button (wood buttons from MARCH kit are perfect)



if you have any questions about any part of this tutorial, please don't hesitate to leave your question in the comments section or email me. i will answer any/all as soon as i am able to check in.


let's get started
















































here are some of the flowers that i created
