Paper Dogwood Flowers

We picked a new faux bloom this season. Four-petaled paper dogwood flowers offer a way to enjoy spring year-round. Making them calls for basic folds and cuts -- no pruning required. Stamp on the details, affix to a branch, and display in a vase or on a table as an everlasting centerpiece.

The How-To
Cut card stock into 5-inch squares. Fold a square in half, then fold in half again. Open square, and crease diagonally, reversing direction of fold; repeat to make another diagonal crease.
Fold square back up along original creases. Trace petal template onto square.
Cut out along open edges. Snip off a tiny bit of pointed tip; unfold flower.
With an unused pencil eraser and green ink, stamp small marks at indents on each petal.
Use a starburst-style stamp to mark center. Cut out leaves from green card stock. Secure flowers and leaves to branches with clear craft glue.

Man Made Cherry Blossom Branch

Here is a pretty tutorial from:
 bookhoucraftprojects: Project #53 Cherry Blossom Branch:
What You'll Need
*Tape
*Scissors
*Bare branches                                                          
*Vase or frame
Step One:
If you are not using origami paper, cut your paper into squares. I used two different sizes of squares, 3 in. and 2.5 in.
Step Two:
Cut your branches to a size that will suit the frame or vase that your will be using.
Step Three:
Fold your squares into cherry blossoms. You can find out how to fold them
 here  http://en.origami-club.com/flowers/sakura2/index.html
You can create slight variations in the flowers by the you cut them.
Step Four:
After you have arranged your branches in a vase or frame, attach the folded cherry blossoms to the branches using tape. I happened to have a pink masking tape that matched my paper, but clear tape would also work."
