The Year Of The Dandelion 2025

The Dandelion, a Blizzard Book. 

Even a National Dandelion Day April 5!

 

This one measures 3.75" x 5.75". Paper used was recycled newsprint from NormansPrintery.

Contains 8 cards with dandelion images. Digi images from CherylFrancisArt resized, printed onto handmade paper and adhered to the blue handmade papers. Sweet gift for a Dandelion lover:)

Here's a link to a previous post of mine for another sweet Blizzard Book; 'the story'

National Dandelion Day

 Make a wish! For the magic to be at its best you must blow all the seeds off with one breath!

Each time you wish upon a dandelion you are sending anywhere from 54 to 172 seeds into the air.

It is said that the 3 phases of a dandelion represent the sun, moon and stars. The yellow flower represents the sun, the white puff ball represents the moon and the dispersing seeds represent the stars.

  May all your wishes come true!

 

Love this little 4”x 6” Dandelion Book I made entitled ‘the Story’. You can read about the materials used and construction of the book here in a previous post.

Blizzard Book ~ 'the Story'

This is a 'Blizzard Book' which is inspired by a design Hedi Kyle created. I used heavy Kraft Paper for folding the structure. For the pages I used 100% Cotton Rag Cardstock (200GSM)-Handmade Deckle Edge Paper. Book Measures 4"W x 6" H

I collaged the pages using a variety of elements. Dandelion images were from CherylFrancisART on Etsy which I resized and printed on Lokta handmade paper. Text are torn phrases from a vintage book. I used some assorted colored handmade papers to create frames using die cuts and the Sizzix Manual Die Cut machine. The sweet little girls are from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology mini paper doll collection.
