CHA Product Review – We R Memory Keepers Flower Punch Board!

WOW! I'm sooooooo excited to share this post with you today! Ever since I got home from CHA I have wanted to show you this – one of my very favorite things from the entire show! Trust me, you are going to want this! I am totally crazy about anything that comes from We R Memory Keepers – including all their other punch boards (I have 'em all)! But, they've outdone themselves with this one…. A FLOWER punch board! Yeah! It makes 7 different sizes of flowers! They are so innovative and creative!

Here's a shot of my finished flowers… The polka dot paper is from the We R Memory Keepers Hello Life 12×12 scrapbook kit from Theresa Collins. That's new too, and it's beautiful! 

 

 

What could be more cheery than a polka dot flower with a bright yellow center!? 

 

 

 

The paper sizes are printed right onto the punch board so you always know what size paper to cut for the size of flower you want… 

 

 

It works similar to all the other boards…punch score, score and then repeat the steps until you get to the end of your paper strip. 

 

 

After your paper strip is scored, it's just a matter of folding along the score lines until a flower takes shape! 

 

 

There is a small tool included that helps you roll the tips of your petals to make them rounded… GENIUS I tell ya! Perfect. 

 

 

Here is my completed flower. If you want the flower to lay flat (for a scrapbook page or a card, you leave all the petals in. If you want the flower to pop up like this one, remove one of the petals and glue it together! 

 

 

And, really cool, you can add stems and centers!! Here is a photo of the pieces to complete a flower on a stem! The stems are soft and have a wire inside so you can wrap them around something or bend them to your liking. 

 

 

Here's a shot of the back….

 

 

And my flower is done….almost! See that nice flat green center? Well…We R Memory Keepers made beautiful glossy dots to go on top of them to finish it off just right! More in a second…

 

 

The scoring tool and the petal rounding tool fit into the back of the punch board for storage and to make sure they don't get lost. 

 

 

Here are the pretty dots for flower centers!!! LOVE. Serioulsy right?? The dots come in three different color packs. I chose the sunny yellow for my flowers. 

 

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed this product review as much as I have enjoyed sharing with you! The punch board will be available later in the Spring so keep your eyes open at your favorite craft store. I am so excited to see all the fabulous ideas that are sure to come from this neat new tool! Have a wonderful day everybody!
