Happy Tuesday everyone! It’s been an exciting week for Tim and I so far! We have another new grandson, born early evening Sunday. We are feeling very blessed… this is our 10th grandson and we have six granddaughters!
I wanted to share a card I started Saturday afternoon and just finished up today. Another FABULOUS Flower die and the Wicker Panel die in white that I cut in half the long way and used on each side of the gingham panel.
I die cut the Vignette Floral Branch die out of three colors, white, Meadow and Blueberry so I could ‘color’ the flowers. Very easy to piece together.
*Trim the Blueberry flowers off the Blueberry cut and glue to the Meadow cut.
*Trim the little white flowers from the white cut and glue to the Meadow cut.
*Cut one more time out of the Blueberry Distress Dots Signature Pattern Paper for the flower petals…leave them in the die if you can until you are ready to place them.
Here’s a trick…on your green cut that you’ve added the blueberry and white flowers to already, turn it over and put a little piece of scotch tape on the wrong side of the big flowers…that will give you some adhesive area, so when you turn it back over, right side up, you can stick the flower petals in the right spot on the Blueberry flowers and the scotch tape will hold them in place! YAY! (you can use double sided tape instead of scotch tape if it has a release paper, so it doesn’t stick to whatever you are working on too)
A close up…
I mounted the finished Vignette Floral Branch to the card with mounting squares.
I cut the A Little Thanks die from white card-stock twice and glued them together.
I use Tombow Mono Multi glue. Keep the tip clean and keep it laying down all the time and it’ll be your ‘new best friend’! ; )
Enjoy the NEW dies! I love the Vignette Floral Branch…I think it will play nicely with the Wildflower Corner die too! oh, and wouldn’t a butterfly be nice on here! lol
Thanks for stopping by today! I’ll be heading back to Breanna’s tomorrow to help and play with the other kids.
oh, and so sorry for the link up confusion with the giveaway in my previous post… it’s still open until Saturday… so link up! Thank you Cindy/Starlitstudio for your generosity!
So pretty! Very spring looking.
Another beautiful card!!! Congrats on the new Grandson-you can never have toooooo many grand kids!!
Congratulations on the new grand! How exciting for you all! Can’t wait to see photos 🙂 Hint, hint! Pam, this has to be one of my favorite of your cards. I know….I’ve said that before, but seriously! This rocks my world! I totally LOVE the dies, the colors make me dizzy with delight, and that layout is the perfect design. That’s all. You rock!!! Again, congrats!
What a great card. I am glad to see a company finally coming out with word die. Now, if I could just find one for “daughter”, “son”, “in law”, etc.
PS: I always hit “send” too soon. Congratulations on the new grandson. What joy!
Very cute where is the paper from?
Lovely card! Congratulations on the new grandson! I know you’ll enjoy your time with them.
Congratulations on having another grandson! WOW! You have a lot of grandchildren. Awesome.!! Lucky you! I absolutely ADORE this card that you made. It is so cute and perky and all my favorite colors. I just received an order from Starlitstudio and now I will have to return and order that die. Tsk, tsk!! ha ha
Congratulations Pam on one more Grand! Aren’t they the best.
I was getting really frustrated trying to place small pieces of a die cut where I wanted them. Think Lunette Butterfly, for example. I had some sheets of sticky dot adhesive. I traced an outline of the die and cut it out. Then placed it sticky side up on the reverse of die cut #1. The second diecut was placed on top of the front of #1. Rubbed the bits I wanted to stick into the die cut, then removed what was the outline. I got an almost perfect placement. I traded a little extra effort for a painless, easy way to place all the tiny bits in this particular die.
And your card is another winning combination of colors, patterns and shapes.
