I wanted a card to send to a friend to let her know that I’m thinking of her and this is the card I made. She’s gone through some difficulties these past few weeks so I hope this little guy brings a smile to her face.
Is there someone that you know who could use a handmade card to brighten their day?
My husband and I needed to send a thank you card last week and this is what I made. I used the stamp set, Regarding Dahlias. I’ve had this stamp set for months but just never used it. I wish I had picked it up sooner!
Ready to know how I made my card? First, I stamped the image on the top left using Blackberry Bliss, one of our new In Colors. Then I stamped it again in the lower right hand corner. On a separate piece of Whisper White, I stamped the flower again 3 times.
With my paper snips, I completely cut out one of these flowers. I’ll be the first to admit that this can be tedious but it is worth it for the end product! Using the second stamped flower I cut out a medium sized flower shape. On the last stamped flower, I cut out a small sized flower shape. As there is no defined area, you just need to decide what petals you want to include when you cut it out. I used dimensionals to layer the flower pieces and then used snail adhesive to attach the entire flower to my card.
I definitely want to make this card using different colors. I’ve also been wondering how it would look to use two colors instead of just one!

One more flower card using the NEW Sweetheart (heart) punch! I used all of the same products that were used on my cards yesterday but changed my cardstock to Hello Honey! (Yesterday I forgot to add the Large Oval and Scallop Oval to my list of products but they are included today).

Today I have two more swaps that I made for Convention. I really like how two of our NEW In Colors, Blackberry Bliss and Lost Lagoon, look together. So pretty! I used the Moonlight DSP Stack to create my flowers. Any idea how I made them? I used the Heart punch! I punched 8 hearts, folded them in half and then attached them to a 1 3/4″ circle. Pretty easy to make. Because there are so many different designs in the Moonlight DSP Stack, there are many possible combinations that you can create!
