If you’re an intermediate-level crafter and want to give something a bit more challenging a try, I can’t recommend this Cardstock Zinnia enough. Like most cardstock projects, a cutting machine can be of great help in terms of precision and consistency, but handcutting is always an option. When you’ve got everything ready to go, load up the video tutorial and let’s make something beautiful! 

You need only to look at a zinnia to know it undoubtedly symbolizes all things bright and positive. Indeed, these flowers represent friendship, endurance, and lasting affection, among other things. Interestingly enough, they're also one of the easiest and most colorful flowers to cultivate, making them highly popular in gardens worldwide. I think it’s easy to see why we not only chose this stunning flower for this month’s collection, but decided she deserved a little camera time as well.  

Since our Cardstock Zinnia are made of such sturdy material, you can count on them to keep their shape beautifully. Display them in a vase for a breathtaking centerpiece, or use the colorful blooms to create a happy accent for your summer gift wrap. 

So if you're looking for a way to energize your paper flower lineup, this tutorial is the perfect pick. When you're finished, don’t forget to share your Cardstock Zinnias with us! Use the hashtag # MadeWithLia, or find us in our online crafters’ community for even more crafty conversation.
