Supplies:
- Spellbinders Nested Flower Die Set
- Kim Hughes Silhouette Blooms II
- Basic Grey Marrakech papers & Neenah Classic Natural White cardstock
- Neutral Card Buttons
- Martha Stewart Baker's Twine
- 1/4" Red Liner Tape
Here's a quick and easy card you can make from scraps of leftover patterned papers. I used the smallest Spellbinders Nested Flower die (it's just a little over 1.50") to cut nine flowers from coordinating patterned papers (all from Basic Grey's Marrakech collection).
Line up the flowers on a 5-inch square card base, machine stitch around the edges, and stamp a sentiment on one of the flowers ... and there you have a quick card with a lot of color impact!
I attached the flowers to the card base with a little Red Liner Tape on just the centers of the backs of the flowers -- this allows the flower edges to stand up and give some great dimension to the card. Buttons tied with some coordinating twine add additional dimension and interest.
This card will hopefully brighten the day of one of my elementary-aged childrens' teachers this week for Teacher Appreciation Week. You could easily change the shape of the flowers on this card to something more masculine or change the sentiment for any occasion.
We thank YOU for visiting the CLASSroom today!
