Spring Floral Border

Hello. Happy Friday … can you believe that another week has whizzed by?

Today I’m sharing with you another card that was accepted into Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking but sadly won’t be published. This was using their sketch … I don’t know if you remember the one with the little squares all the way around the card. When I first saw the sketch I really didn’t think I could get it to work for me … but I did



To create this I stamped it as one whole piece. Stamping the sentiment from Wplus9 ‘Hand Lettered Hello’ in the centre first and then stamping the floral border around the outside. The stamps I used around the outside edge are from Wplus9 ‘Pretty Little Peonies’.

Once I had done all the stamping I then cut an inch off each side and trimmed these strips into 1 x 1" squares before adding them to my card layer with foam adhesive.



I would really love to know what you think of my card!

I hope you have a beautiful day and I will see you again soon.

Sketchy Spotlight Stamping

I firstly cut my card panel using the stitched frame from the Mama Elephant ‘Basic Die Set’. Using the largest of the Wplus9 ‘Clear Circle Stackers’ I drew around it where I would eventually cut it, but before die-cutting a circle window I stamped the sentiment from Lil Inkers ‘The Fine Print’ into the centre of the circle. Once the sentiment was in place I stamped some floral clusters using Wplus9 ‘Pretty Little Peonies’.



Once I was happy with the flower arrangement I then added the circle die back into place and run it through my Big Shot. I then took the circle die-cut and stamped the detail parts of the flowers only on to this piece.

To put the card together I added the large stitched card panel to my card black using foam tape, once this was in place I added the circle piece through the die-cut window and attached this flat to the card blank.



I would really love to know what you think of my card!

I hope you have a beautiful day and I will see you again soon.
