Hello Friends, I’m so excited to share with you my new
collection of cutting dies called
“Blooming
Garden Collection”
by Spellbinders. This collection consists of 10 new die sets for making
gift boxes, baskets, also flowers, doilies and swirls for decorating and
embellish your all occasion cards. Go to this link to see this collection:
“Blooming Garden Collection”. My
card here is featuring
Top Floral Panel,
EspeciallyMade For You and
BloomingRose.
Instructions:
1. To create card base cut a 5 ½” x 11” piece of pink
cardstock. Score at 2 ¾” and 8 ¼”. Fold to create a 5 ½” square center fold
card. Cut 2 panels from green cardstock measuring 2 ½” x 5 ¼”, adhere to front
of the card. You can also tape green silk ribbon to card base before adhering
green panels.
2. Apply double sided adhesive sheet to silver foiled paper.
Die cut 2 decorative panels using
Top Floral Panel from silver foiled
paper. Die cut 2 more decorative panels from black cardstock.
3. Adhere silver decorative panels to black panels by
offsetting a bit and then glue to front of card.
4. Cut a 5 ¼” x 5 ¼” piece of green cardstock for the inside
of card.
5. Die cut
Especially Made For You from silver
foiled paper and black cardstock. Adhere together offsetting a bit and then
glue to center of card.
6. To make the flowers use
Blooming Rose die set. To make one
complete flower you need to die cut 6 flowers total, 4 flowers of the same size
and 2 flowers of the next smaller size from white Foamiran sheet. Die cut
leaves from green Foamiran. I love to use Foamiran for making flowers because
you can die cut 4 layers of Foamiran at one time and they are very easy to
shape with a heat tool.
Color edges of flowers with chalk inks and foam applicator
as pictured below.
7. Layer flower petals and leaves together and secure with a
brad using the center holes of each flower.
8. Using a heat tool, warm flower petals for a few seconds,
the petals will begin to shape and curl up. For a more textured flower you can
squeeze and twist flower gently when it is still warm and then open petals to
shape flower.
9. Adhere flowers and leaves to card using a hot glue gun.
10. Close card with silk ribbon.
