Never heard of it.
It's a bit more complicated than that. Drinking all of someone's blood is just going to get you a ghoul/zombie that decays in sunlight.

Why do I have feeling that Flandre is going to break Homura.

Doesn't vampirisation need exchange of blood, or something?
Also, Vampire!Madoka FTW!

What is the full process then? Flan should know that at least.

Flan wouldn't, actually - she hasn't met enough candidates for the process (that didn't end up splattered on account of they're invading her home ...) that she would have experimented, and she hasn't thought to look it up in the library since meeting Reimu and Marisa. Remilia knows a few ways, but she isn't particularly interested in increasing the number of vampires. For the record, though ... Hmm. Barring other magic (Wishes?):
* Direct and massive infusion of vampire blood; reducing the victim's blood helps, but isn't necessary. This creates a very weak vampire, because it's essentially trying to get the vampire blood to 'latch on' and create an environment capable of sustaining it, which ends up making the body a vampire's. It takes several days for the change to be complete, during which time the victim will be very sick/comatose, depending on the amount of human blood still in the system. It's not a guaranteed method, but it's one Flan could do immediately.
* Similar to the above, but using magic to amplify the effect/weaken the body so it's safer and requires a smaller transfusion. To transform near-humans or something like a Magical Girl, you would need at least this. Flan could do this immediately, but she isn't a talented magic-user, so it's probably a worse idea than the first method.
* A sufficiently complex/powerful ritual could be done to forcibly change something into a vampire. The majority of existing ones require more magical skill than Flan has, and while she has the power to use the few that are simple enough for her to do, they're almost impossible to find. This is effectively sealed off, since she would have to find a ritual first, and those won't be lying around in other universes.
But Flan doesn't know any of this. She has read Dracula (the wonders of an education!) and a lot of the myths about vampires, but she knows that at least some of those are false (religious imagery doesn't bother her or Remilia, they both have reflections, etc), so she doesn't know if any of the 'traditional' methods work.
(Also, I didn't expect SV to try to make vampires in this. I'm not sure why the idea didn't occur to me.)
Witches and Familiars are visible to her, and she can see easily-enterable spots on their Barriers, but she can't detect/sense them like Mami does with her Soul Gem. Something radiating magic - powerful Witches outside a barrier or a Magical Girl actively using magic - she will notice, but not passive ones. If she gets close enough to a Witch inside a Barrier, she can sense where it is, but that's very short range, and it's something she has to work at - she practiced by looking for the 'radiation' emitted when she uses her Clones and Invisibility, but she doesn't look for that unless she expects to have to.

Hmm alright then I have a plan to vampirise Madoka (we will experiment on HItomi first), since the "Drain a lot of human blood and insert a little vampire blood" is a common part of vampire mythology and fiction it can be justified using this method.
- Incapacitate target
- Drink as much blood as we can
- Inject some of our own blood
- Use our power to destroy the left over human blood.

That's a plan you can try, but I'll just point out a couple potential failure points:
1) Flan would need a reason to try this. Random Girl XYZ isn't going to ping her interest enough.
2) WWHD?
3) You would need to make rolls for both 1 and 4, since Flan doesn't do "Incapacitation" of normal humans, and she's never tried to destroy a specific *part* of something.
Oh, right ....

I'll figure something out, maybe adjust the plan to have Flan befriend someone and want to play with her more but not want to break her.

We're no longer bound by the Spellcard rules, right? That means our bullets can be fatal?
We have a kill counter. Our attacks are deadly.

I'm really starting to regret not playing or reading up on Touhou beyond 'massive amounts of dakka', 'girls in frilly dresses', and 'obsessive fans'.

Well in context of Flandre it should be mentioned that her power is "To destroy absolutely anything and everything" not kidding it's literally listed as such on the Wiki.
Also here is her extra stage
and as a bonus a cute video involving her
There's a relatively small amount of canon to work from, a lot of it is extrapolating from short and often misleading game manuals or outrigger materials, especially anything in character.

Yes, although Flan can't do anything particularly fancy, nor can she fire lethal bullets en masse. It's just not something she's particularly interested in, anyway - she's much more an "Invading your personal space, ripping off your face," kind of person, you know? Unless there's a good and demonstrable reason for her to fling bullets as anything other than distractions, she's not likely to do it.
A lot of the information requires going into the background so most people are unlikely to know about them unless you read through the wikis ... but for reference's sake, here's part of the Perfect Memento in Strict Sense* article for Vampires:
*: I'm running with "mostly accurate." Flandre can't go swimming, but she can be out in the sun or rain for short periods of time before needing to seek shelter.PMiSS said:
**: Flan can't do this one. No Instant Army for you!
The reason things like this aren't relevant to the games is because Danmaku duels are explicitly designed to be nonlethal and allow weaker individuals to win against stronger ones. A vampire being able to do a pretty good imitation of Alucard is irrelevant when the rules make that illegal.

All I could imagine when reading this was Flan getting bored, summoning an army of devils and killing them over and over again until they stopped answering her summons.

Now I have this thought of Flan summoning an army of Koakumas.

There are a few official print works (nowhere near "just the game manuals" that seems to get thrown around) but for Flandre in particular...
There's her actual dialogue in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, and an interview in one of the local newspapers. She has the least written dialogue out of pretty much any of the named characters in the Mansion, as far as I'm aware.
Well, except Remilia's pet chupacabra, but it can't actually speak.
Oh, and Hieda no Akyuu wrote an article about her, but keep in mind that Akyuu's works are as much propaganda piece as anything.

The problem with Touhou vampires is that they never were human, they are actually a kind of oni (吸血鬼 kyūketsuki, lit. "blood-sucking oni"). When they drain a human of blood the human turns into a mindless zombie that will die under the light of the sun.
