BASKET OF FLOWERS

I created this card for my card class to make this week but it was inspired by the "inspired By..." challenge.  The challenge photo is a basket of flowers.


The little flowers and the embossed background are from Spellbinders.  When I create a card for the class, I have everything pretty much prepped for them ahead of time.  For this class, I had several die sets that all had little flowers and also had some dies that would cut the little yellow centers.  So all the die cutting didn't take that long.  I cut out extra flowers so they could add as many to their bouquet as they wish - or put them anywhere on the card.  Also have many different sentiments from which they may choose.  Used up a lot of my scrap colors for the flowers which is a good thing!!

Thanks for stopping by.

RUSTLING LEAVES

Our board for TicTacToe #270 has many masculine elements - and I certainly don't mix well with guy cards!  But I managed to create this card with some new (to me) product from Altenew and using the bottom row of die cuts, metallic and stenciling.

I used the embossing folder from the Rustling Leaves Bundle for my background and die cut a circle from the center.  Trimmed the piece down to 5.25"x4" and then proceeded to make the shaker part of the card.  Used the press plate, stencil and die to make the leaves.  The leaves were made from Altenew's "reindeer moss" card stock (my new fave green!!).  Adhered the leaves and the little sentiment and done!!

Our challenge runs until 22 May so hope to see you in our gallery!
