Happy Friday! Another weekend is in front of us and I hope you can spend some time in your craft space.
Inspiration for today’s card came to me from two different places!
First, I walked past the fresh flower section at my grocery store and saw the beautiful bouquets of Ranunculus Roses! They were pink and what looked like a muted yellow. They were so beautiful. I thought of the Ranunculus Romance stamp set I have. The subtle shade of pink reminded me of my Blushing Bride cardstock! Then, I was going through emails and saw a card that had flowers in the center wrapped in gold foil.
Pieces And Parts of Today’s Card
- I always begin with my card base and layer cuts, then work on everything else.
- Today’s card is a standard A-2 top fold with a Thick Basic White cardstock base. It measures 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″.
- The top Basic White layer is 4″ x 5 1/4″.
- I used the rose die from my Ranunculus Dies for the first time. The large rose die is beautiful. I wanted it smaller for my design so I die cut the rose and layer and sized it to comfortably fit two on my card.
- Sizing this die cut is easy. Just snip around the edge until you reach the size you want.
- See my photo below. (I was playing with color when I photographed this).
- How’s that for versatility! I can already think of other ways to use this die AND is fits easily into the specially priced Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Save 20% now through the end of March.
- The matching base layer die can be sized as well. I attached the smaller version of the die cut rose to the base layer with low tack tape and snipped around it.
- The leaves are die cut with one of the Ranunculus Dies. The embossed detail in the leaf die is amazing.
- The sentiment is from the Honeybee Home stamp set. It happened to be sitting on my craft table from my last card. I thought the font was perfect for these roses.
So, take a look at some of your dies, give them a new purpose, add some sparkle and create something clean and simple.
…the only limitation is your imagination!
