What is your favorite embellishment flower? Who sells them most cost efficiently? I don't have any flowers and want to buy a nice variety...I am alos looking at buying white ones to dye with re inker. Any suggestions would bw appreciated! tia
If you are looking at dying some, try the dollar stores. I bought a couple of different styles of 'silk' flowers in white and got a ton for very little money. I have dyed them with an ink pad (just pressing it in), reinkers, and coloured with markers, and all worked well. I have also 'painted' with glitter glue (like stickles) which adds a nice effect. Good luck and have fun!
I love all the Sizzix sizzlits and the regular Sizzix flower dies. I have some Spellbinders flowers also but my fav is the Tattered Rose Sizzix die. I have so many flower dies it's pathetic but I do love them.
I buy all my flowers from paperflowerstore.com. I've has so many compliments when I use them. They have 3D gardenias which are my favorite but also sell plain white flowers too
Sometimes I buy cheap flowers (the small ones, with a bunch on one plastic stem) from hobby supply stores like Michaels, then dye them with reinkers. On sale, they're really cheap.
Sorry....I forgot to mention that these flowers are white mulberry paper flowers....not fabric (silk).......I got a pack of 60 assorted flowers (really nice shapes and sizes for $4.......and they had larger assortments available at the time I ordered........
I just found out about wildorchidcrafts.com who's located in the UK but has a great selection. Since the pound is down right now, it's a good deal, and just change the currency at the top of the page and shop away..... They have so many colors and sizes to choose from, including white if you like to color your own.
Wild Orchid Crafts flowers are beautiful. I definitely recommend them :grin:
I just had to comment on this company. I ordered some flowers from them on Jan 9th and received them on the 24th. These flowers came all the way from the UK. I've never ordered anything from overseas and I honestly thought it would take longer. It only took 12 days once they shipped! I am so pleased with these flowers. They are BEAUTIFUL and were a great value. I highly recommend this company!
yup i try to look for white flowers craft stores near by, and discount stores, and yes dye ink is the best to use ;)
or I love the cream from CTMH cant remember the name, where I make my own mist with water, reinker, and cream and give the flowers a shine ;)
If I make my own I use Nestabilities and Sizzix dies, and I'll spray them with Lindy's Stamp Gang's beautiful sprays, make my own, or some Tattered Angels I have.
I also love Wild Orchids flowers. They give fast service and have a great variety. If you get the white flowers you can color them yourself with alcohol inks (Copics or Ranger) or dye inks. I've also sprayed them with the above misters as well. There is so many things you can do, and your mind then starts going with possibilities adding Stickles etc...... The important thing is to have fun with it!!!!
Ok, I haven't ordered from these guys yet but I will next paycheck. There seem to be a lot of scrapbookers on Youtube (just type Iamroses haul on search to see reviews) that have ordered from this place and always give great reviews and the flowers look stunning. They are mulberry paper but I believe they carry some fabric stuff. I went to the site and wow, they have a huge selection and the prices are very reasonable. I love the Camelot flowers from Prima but only bought them once because it just cost too much for 3 flowers in a pack. They have them in different sizes and at a great price , I"m getting me a load of these in white to dye whatever color I choose. They also have nice color combos.
Where to buy flowers?
