Card #24 – Die Cut Flower Card

I started by assembling all my supplies.

Die cuts are great for paper piecing designs. I love this set of 3 flower shapes because it provides two sizes of each flower to let you layer and add interest and dimension to your project.

I used the “Thanks a Bunch” sentiment again because of the flowers. It just seems to go so well.

Once I decided on my colors, this card went together very quickly.

For this card I used light blue textured cardstock (4 1/4″ X 11″) for my base, a variety of patterned cardstock for the flowers and greenery and vellum (4″X3″) for the sentiment panel.

I chose my coordinating patterned cardstock and die cut two sets of the flowers and four sets of the greenery. I also ran the front of my card through the Big Shot with the polka dot embossing folder.

After trimming the vellum and white embossing the sentiment, I attached it to the center of the card front.

I assembled my flowers by placing the more patterned piece on top of the more solid piece. I did that with all similarly shaped flowers. Then I attached the greenery first in an arc over the top and bottom of the vellum. After that I just glued the flowers on top of the greenery.
