Black and Yellow Birthday Card

Birthday card CASED from Pinterest.

I cut a triangle from the yellow striped paper and then layered 1/2" wide strips of the black polka dotted paper on top.

The flower is made of two Stampin' Up punched shapes.

Pansy Punch Card

The sentiment was printed on my computer; the ovals were cut using MTC.  The flower was done using Flower Shop stamps and Pansy Punch.

The yellow flower shaped button is from the Dollar Tree.

This card was inspired by one seen on Pinterest done by a SU demo from the UK.
 

Flower Shop Stamps Card

 This is a little different way to use your Flower Shop stamps, Pansy and Petite Petals punches.

The ink is Crushed Curry.  The greenery is Little Leaves die.

 This is Bermuda Bay ink from Stampin' Up.   It matches the background paper too well and there's not enough contrast.

I experimented with different color combinations before deciding I like the two colored flowers best.

The flower center was punched with the Petite Petals punch.  It's the
center of one of the larger
flowers in the Flower Shop set.

3 Dimensional Pansies Mother's Day Card

Glenda Calkins, a Stampin' Up demonstrator, shared a video on using their Pansy Punch to make three dimensional flowers. 

After watching it, I decided it was something that would work well on Mother's Day cards for the nursing home residents.


It takes quite a bit of time to assemble the pieces but the results make it worth the time.

The background was embossed with a houndstooth folder.  I used MTC to resize and cut the base for the sentiment.

30 Minute Card

I used the Flower Shop stamp set and Pansy punch from Stampin' Up to make this quick card.  It's one of Connie Stewart's Flash Card 2.0 designs.  This could be used for any number of occasions depending on the sentiment.

Embossed Flowers Card

The flowers were done with my Pansy and Petite Petal punches and embossed with a Swiss Dots folder.  I cut the petals to separate and give some dimension to the flower.  The butterfly is the Bitty Buterfly punch.

Using Hallmark Card Studio, I matched the ink for the sentiment to the background paper.  This was inspired by a card seen on Pinterest.

The flower petals are really standing up from the card base in the photo.  Once I pack it into the box of cards for Operation Write Home, they'll lay closer to the surface and the card will look as I intended.

Forever Card

I named this one "Forever Card" because it took me FOREVER to get the cuts done and assembled!  It was seen on Pinterest and I tracked it back to Claire Creates Cards.  Had I read all of her description, I'd have saved myself a lot of time and effort.  She has a link to a video for making the star burst behind the flowers which is super simple.  I used a quilt block clip art image, traced and cut it with Make The Cut.  Each of the rays had to be numbered so they'd fit back together properly. 

Would you believe this card, including the base, has 22 pieces?   Since there are six different papers in the star burst pieces, I completed six of these.

The top border is from the Elegant Edges cartridge and was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.  I used a Flower Shop stamp and Pansy Punch for the large flowers.  The centers were done with a Boho Blossom punch and secured with brads.

"Hello" card

Stampin' Up's pansy punch and flower shop stamp set were used.  I printed the sentiment using Brannonboll Fet font.

The flowers were stamped with tuxedo black Memento ink then the centers were sponged with Dandelion yellow ink.

I saw this card on Dawn Griffith's blog.  She made hers as a gate fold card; I made mine as a standard A2.

Flower Shop Bundle Cards

 Inspired by a card seen online.  I used Stampin' Up Flower Shop stamp/punch bundle for the flowers.
The greenery was cut with my Cameo.

A paper doily is the base for this card.  Again, I used the Flower Shop bundle as well as the Petite Petals bundle.
