Flower Fusion #12 - Day 4

Hello again everyone! We are almost there...just one more day to go until Flower Fusion #12 and the rest of the new Papertrey Ink items you've been drooling over will be available. Have I mentioned just how much I love this plaid flower? I have, I know but I just thought I would mention it again. :)

Todays colors:

 

  

I started with a sheet of white cardstock and stamped my flowers and flower centers using the colors shown above. The cardstock measured 5.5 X 11 so after it was completely stamped I could simply fold it in half and would have my A2 card base.

And here is the card I created with it. My sentiment (from FF #12) was stamped in black ink in the center of a frame created with the Fillable Frames #1 die.

 

I die cut my flower and stamped the flower image inside with Summer Sunrise ink. The stem/leaves were stamped onto a piece of cardstock and then I trimmed just the leaves and adhered them under my flower. I added a lace doily underneath and a strip of glitter along the side.

Here you can see both the front and back of the card. Love the end result and will be doing this more in the future! 

Next up is just a sweet and simple little card. Super easy for mass producing! I simply stamped all my stem/leaves across the bottom of my white card base and then stamped my flowers.

Using my glue pen I added glitter to the centers of each of the flowers. 'Happy Birthday' is from Birthday Basics.

On the back of this card I stamped one of the images from Trademarks and then stamped the flower and stem above. Again, it just adds a special touch to carry over your design from the front of you card.

And last but not least for today I created another card using more of the patterned cardstock I created above.

The flower is sitting on a frame I created using the Sending You die. 'I believe in you' is part of the FF #12 set. I added a Spring Moss button and a strip of glitter to finish this card.

That completes day four for me. I still have lots to share and will be back tomorrow morning with another post for you. Still lots to see so be sure to stop by and see what these have to share with you...

Happiness and sunshine in a card!! If it can be bottled, you have done it Girl:)

I just love the cards you are making with your new set. Once I order mine I will definately be coming back to these posts to recreate them. The colors you are using just make me happy. With this series ending (very sad about that), I will say that I cannot wait to see what you have up your sleeve for 2012!

[Janet S]

I just wanted you to know how much I have enjoyed this series and ending with this plaid flower is just super. I have every Fusion set and can make gorgeous cards with them evry time. I usually put several different ones on a card and it looks so pretty. I love your designs and can't wait to see what you bring to us this year. Hope 2012 is a super year for you and your family

[Chris K]

Love these colors especially the yellow.
Can't wait to order my set on the 15th!

[Allyson Andersen]

More lovely cards. ;-) I just love your style, girl. You use the most amazing color combinations, and so perfectly, too! Beautiful. ;-)

[Wendy ten Hove]

Sooo pretty! I love the card with the flower pattern on the front and the back! Very, very, very nice!!!
Hugs, Wendy

This plaid flower is definitely my favorite of the series. Love the scalloped leaves too!

[Carol W]

Great work with that patterned cardstock to form the front and back! I am definitely going to have to try that. The colours and the arrangement you chose for the flowers are just a knockout, too. I would BUY this paper if I saw it in a store!

This plaid flower is one of my absolute favorites. I must confess that when I say the sentiment about Hope, it brought tears to my eyes. I make many cards for our family shelter and this sentiment will be perfect. I am so thankful for that sentiment, I will use it all the time.

I think I am as in love with Flower Fusion #12 as you are. I can't wait to order that gorgeous gingham flower. Divine. All your projects are so fabulous.

Dear Melissa,
I LOVE the hope saying...oh, how many times I have listened to HOPE when no one else could hear her! My friend, Susanne, NEEDS a card with that saying on it! I love the colors you showcased today-tutti-fruity! Plaid is woohoo!
Your NH FAN,
Gwen

[Gabby]

Each of these cards are so FANTASTIC! I am amazed what you can create w/this basic, inexpensive set. Your projects, herein and on prevoius posts are simply elegant, and every bit as lovely as as other cards, created with more expensive, elaborate sets and layers of dies. I can barely wait to get this set and use it alone and in conjunction with other PTI products! :)

[Suzie P.]

Flower fusion makes me HAPPY! I love all the different ways you can use them. Your inspiration is out of this world!!!

[janet wilson]

So pretty, fantastic idea to stamp a whole sheet like that - two gorgeous cards just like that :) The flower fusion range is so versatile!!
