June 2014 – Page 2

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!
