Wishing you all the “best day ever!”
If you enjoy using your dies to create a dimensional design, this card is inspiration for you. I used my Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (discounted 10% during the month of June), along with colorful cardstock scraps to die cut the flowers in the flower box.
The Country Woods Designer Series Paper created the distressed look background, and the Country Birdhouse Bundle did the rest.
So, let’s make a card!
Parts & Pieces
- The Basic Gray cardstock card base is 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″.
- I attached a Basic White mat layer that measures 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
- The patterned paper top layer is 4″ x 5 1/4″.
- I die cut the “flower box” using one of the Country Birdhouse Dies, and attached it with Dimensionals.
- The flowers and leaves are all die cut using the Country Birdhouse Dies and attached with glue and Mini Dimensionals.
- Do you see the little white flower in the garden box. I put it in there just for fun!
- I stamped the sentiment with Basic Gray ink and fussy cut it.
- I attached the fussy cut sentiment to a piece of Basic Gray cardstock, and fussy cut it again.
I thought it would be a fun switch from creating a birdhouse, but using the same Bundle to create the little flower box. Since I was keeping the background neutral, I used bright colors for the flowers.
Arranging the flowers is easy. I started by adding flowers along the top of the flower box, then attached the flowers in the “second” row in between the flowers in the “bottom” row. I filled in with some of the die cut leaves.
So, cut a few layers, create a little flower box, die cut some flowers and wish someone special the “best day ever”.
… the only limitation is your imagination!
