Several of you have asked for a tutorial on how I made the Seam Binding Rosettes on this card:
Here is a repeat of a pictorial posted back on November 2, 2011. Although the color of the seam binding used is different, the process is still the same!
1. Punch a 3/4″ circle from card stock.
2. Cover with Sticky Strip or other adhesive.
3. Snip off a 6″ piece of Seam Binding.
4. Pull out one or two threads from one end.
5. Shirr the seam binding by pulling on the threads. But be careful…don’t pull the thread completely out!
6. Double the shirred seam binding and wrap thread around it all to form a blossom.
7. Attach to the Sticky Strip covered circle, and trim off the excess.(Note: For the rosettes on the Banner Card, the tails were left on.)
8. Form a “leaf” in the same manner and attach. Trim off the excess.
9. Add a pearl.
10. To make your roses fuller, simply use a longer piece of seam binding and “scrunchy” it up as you add it to the card stock circle.
As with every new skill, your roses will get better with practice. I hope you enjoy them! Until next time...
Très jolies cartes

Ann this is awesome thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much for posting your seam-binding rosette tutorial, Ann. They are incredibly pretty, and I love the texture. Your special touches make your cards such great standouts!
I know I said I was going to try them last year but I think this is a must do now! These ar just so cute. I think your tutorial is very well done but of course I am not trying it yet! Just kidding! Thanks for not making us hunt on your blog for the tutorial! It was fun to see the cards again too.

All I can say is WOW! This is a beautiful card, one that I would love to be able to recreate and send to my family and friends. Thanks for sharing how to make the rosettes with all of us and especially those of us with ten thumbs!!
