This project is brought to you by Latrice Murphy from Any Occasion.
I have been waiting for spring for a long time here in Illinois and it’s finally arrived. This has gotten me in the mood to create projects with flowers, so naturally I thought some floral cards would be great to have on hand in order to brightened someone’s day. First off, I have to tell you that these were extremely easy to create using my Silhouette Die Cutting Machine on the Print and Cut setting. I tried a few techniques to make them more customized and dimensional.
Materials:
- Silhouette Die Cutting Machine (Or you can print an image and hand-cut it out)
- Various Distress Inks
- Various stamps
- Glossy Accents
- 3-D adhesive
- Sewing machine (optional)
Hugs Card:
I did some background stamping and inked the edges to created a bold background for these orange flowers. I layered two of the cuts for dimension. I also added glittered gems to the flower centers.
Warm Thoughts Card:
This got put on a pre-made dotted card base with bold yellow cardstock. I stitched that on after inking the edges. I then added my sentiment on a banner with a little washi tape. The rose got some dimension with a second flower being place on top. I finished the smaller flowers off with glossy accents and glitter.
Miss You Card:
This large set of three roses made for a fun card with simple misting and a doily in the background. I added some twine behind it for more texture and the sentiment banner hangs from the side. One rose was finished with glossy accents.
Delightful Card:
The last card was created with my favorite image. The detail on the cut was amazing, thorns and all. I stamped the back with dots and inked the edges. The flower I layered with a double flower and added a touch of glitter on it. The sentiment was stamped on the bottom in orange and again with the black outline.
I will be making lots of sets of these cards for gifts – they were that fun to make!
