To craft these frosted paper peonies, start by gathering the tools and materials listed below. Visit PaperPapers website to download either the SVG or PDF file, then cut. Next, watch the Lia Griffith Craft School video tutorial below to learn how to assemble your frosted paper peonies. Yet another paper flower project made simple!

For these frosted paper peonies, we used PaperPapers metallic text weight paper. This paper is our absolute go-to for floral paper crafting. Its thinner composition and shimmering quality give it an extra special feel — so much more to offer than most cardstocks. For our peonies, we used Azalea, Violette, Punch, Botanic, Fairway, and Gold. But feel free to play around with other colors! Browse PaperPapers wide selection of colors here.

If you want to make the flowers smaller how do you get the right proportions?
Thank you.

  You can group all of the pieces and size them down together.

Lia I was so impressed with your tutorial that I was able to watch the whole thing. 😊 I can’t usually watch a long one but you kept my interest & the flowers turned out just gorgeous. Thank you for doing such a good job.

Hi, I purchased the Fiskars – Lia Griffith Peony templates – I reviewed the instructions and I am not sure where in the instructions it explains how many petals I need to cut out in order to make the flower. How many petals do I need to cut using each template? Also in step three of the instructions, it pictures a few other templates that were not included with the package. Where can I find these templates? Thank you!

What is the easiest cutting machine for a beginner to use with your flower SVG files? Thank you for any advice on this.

  Hi Jeanne! Well our longest experience has been with the Cricut. The Maker is the only machine that will cut crepe paper, but honestly we still cut a lot of our flowers by hand. The Explore Air works great for frosted flowers and other SVGs.
