Create Your Own Doilies and Doily Flowers!

Hello!  Today I have a tutorial for you.  Using the Kreaxions Circle Cutter, the Kreaxions stencils, the Kreaxions Positioning Parts and ANY of your favorite 4-in-1 Kreaxions punches you can make your own doilies!  I love that I can match my doily patterns with my other page elements!  So on this page I decided to try something I hadn't done before - make a flower with a doily created with the Kreaxions products.  I was amazed at how easy it was!  Here's my page and the instructions are below.
My Grandparents R1
To create the large doily I used the Kreaxions Circle Cutter to make a 18 cm circle.  I turned my paper over and on the BACK side I used Kreaxions Stencil B to draw the lines for punching guides.  Using the small 5.6 cm positioning parts with Kreaxions Punch #915 I punched on each line.  Then to create the “flower” I cut a 4" circle and used the same stencil with the same punch and positioning parts.  After I finished punching I used the stencil lines that I drew on the back of the circle and folded on all of the lines.  Then I unfolded them and cut every OTHER line from the outside to about ¼” from the center and folded the “petals” in half.  Then I added a large rhinestone for my center.
I created the borders by using Kreaxions Punch #915 with no template on a 3x12" strip.  Then I used the cut-away pieces at the top and bottom of the page.  I also used some of the triangle cut-away pieces for photo corners.  I added more bling around the page to enhance the design.  The pictures are of my grandparents in Washington, DC in 1920.  I used a copy of the writing on the back of the picture for my journaling.
Here are the Kreaxions products I used on this page -
