Flower Fusion #11 & Tree Tops - Day 4

Welcome back for day four of the Papertrey Ink December countdown. Flower Fusion #11, Tree Tops and Little Princess will all be available starting December 15th on the Papertrey Ink website.

Let's jump right into todays post, shall we!?

Quite a few of you have mentioned that you enjoy my color combinations so I'm going to continue adding them until you guys get tired of seeing them. ;)

 

Up first is this cheery card using Flower Fusion #11. I started by covering my card base with 2008 Bitty Box Basics patterned paper. I then stitched a piece of Kraft and white cardstock over that.

 

My flower was created by using the Flower Fusion #11 tulip die. I die cut four of them and adhered them around my button. I also die cut two of the Flower Fusion stem/leaves and attached one over the other and added a string of pearls.

'Hello friend' is from Think Big Favorites #3.

Up next is another card using Flower Fusion #11. I used a piece of patterned paper from the Distressed Dots collection and adhered that over my Kraft card base.  I stamped both my sentiment, from Think Big Favorites #4,  and my stem/leave image in black ink. I die cut my tulip out of Hawaiian Shores cardstock and then stamped the inside with the solid tulip image in the FF #11 set. I added a few pearls, ribbon and a border along the bottom that was created using the Edgers #1 die. 

This was a fun little card to create. The circle was die cut using my Spellbinders Nestability circle die. I stamped my four Berry Sorbet tulips first and then stamped the two other colors making it easier to space them just right.

'thinking of you' is from Borders & Corners (circle). Pearls were added around the sentiment and that was layered over a scalloped circle Nestability.

 

How about a couple of cards using Tree Tops! I used the die from the Button Card collection as a base for my tree. After die cutting it I used the lined image from Background Basics: Retro and stamped it twice on the bottom of the button card...leaving room between the two for my sentiment. 'Thinking of you' is from Flower Fusion #7.  My tree was die cut using the Tree Tops die and then stamped with the trunk and outlined circle tree top image. I added a little glitter randomly to some of the circles, a strip of ribbon and a doily to complete it.  

This card is pretty much the same as the one above...just flipped. 'Hello, friend!' is one of the new sentiments in Flower Fusion #11.

That's another wrap, my friends! Thanks so much for stopping by. I'll be back tomorrow to share the last of my projects with you. And as always, don't forget to check out what these ladies have to share ...

Just so you know, I will NEVER get tired of your color combinations. I Pin them all.

Gorgeous cards and ideas!

Beautiful cards, as usual. ;-) I'm a ditto on the above comment - I will never be tired of your color combos, or your designs. They're just too delightful and refreshing.

Looking forward to another day of peeks, and hopefully I will make it back in decent time from a Christmas party on Thursday to place my order at the new time - I'm hoping all these great products won't be sold out by the time I get home and have a chance to order! ;-)

Thanks so much, Melissa, for sharing your wonderful talents with us!

Great post today, you really know how to use your stamps in such unique ways Melissa. I especially like your second card today 'thinking of you'. The tulip circle makes me think of a game spinner--beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration.

Oh, I like the way you used the tulip die and stamps on these cards! Great new designs and neat color combo. Looking forward to adding it to my FF collection. :)
