Love the Tiny Flowers!

3:30 AM 6 Comments

 Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here playing along with this week's challenge Add a Flourish! I have been creating a lot of projects lately with the Tiny Flower Kit and the Tiny Fanciful Flourishes! I love them! To create this filled letter look on any card is very easy.  I began by selecting a chunky font on my computer and printing out the letters for "love." With chalk I colored over the back of the letters to make it easy to transfer to my card stock. Next I positioned each letter and traced around them with a pencil, transferring the chalk from the back of my letters onto my card stock. I used a black marking pen to retrace my chalk lines and highlight the shape of the letters.
Next I glued down a flourish and stacked flowers starting with the largest and working my way to the itty bitty flowers in the Baby's Breath Flower Kit to fill in the tips. I added mini butterflies when I finished with the flowers!

A Romantic Valentine with Rhonda

3:30 AM 8 Comments
Happy Monday to you!  It's Rhonda here today to host the blog.

I have a soft romantic card with flourishes in pink, brown and green tones to share with you. This week's challenge is to add a flourish and I thought I would make a Valentine's style card to meet the challenge criteria.


I started with the largest Card Maker Scalloped Rectangle die, then cut a layer in the brown quatrefoil pattern from the Card Maker Rectangle dies.  I thought some pretty border cuts would look nice and soft behind these layers, so I adhered from behind.  

Each of these layers is attached with foam squares to give a little dimension and interest.


After adding the Oval Boutique Stacker, I knew I wanted to use the Lattice Heart and Vines on this card. The soft green vining behind it is the Celtic Heart.  

I cut two Lattice Heart and Vines, one in a darker pattern that I trimmed the heart border from and and adhered to my first cut to help frame it. I backed the heart with some darker pink patterned paper to emphasize the lattice. 



Diamond Stickles were added to the center of my Cuties 2 flower and the lighter colored vines outside of the heart and my Mini Butterfly. A bit of lightweight florist wire and a quilling tool were used to create my butterfly antennae. I used a glassine bag and cut a Tiny Fanciful Flourish and you'll see it spraying out from my butterfly faintly.

It's Birthday Time

3:30 AM 5 Comments

Sandy here with you today, filling in for Amy.  I found this image I had colored last year for a Copic class I was teaching and thought it was time to add it to a card.  I created my card base using Scalloped Rectangle Reflections Boutique dies.  I love that these dies are open ended because you can make about any size you want with them.  I started with a folded piece of card stock 5 3/4 x 6.  I only wanted the scallops on 3 sides, I think it makes a more masculine card.  I used the same dies to make the center scalloped strip on my card.  The image was die cut with a Silver Coved Rectangle die and backed with a matching Horizon Coved Rectangle Boutique die.  I added a Pocket Watch w/Angel Wing, another masculine die.  And the last step was the sentiment stamped onto a Tags 1 and backed with the same.
