Layered Wildflower Dies

I always knew I had to have these dies, and this idea confirmed it! I just loved everything about it! However, it DOES use just a few new products and a new InColor that I hadn't used, yet! I just love it! It makes me happy!!

Measurements:

Shy Shamrock (N): 1/2 sheet
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4", 2 1/4" x 3 1/2"
Pretty in Pink (N): 3 1/4"x 5 1/2"
Full of Life DSP (N): 3" x 4 1/4" (watercolor), 1/2" x 5 1/4" strip, scraps

To Make This Card:

Run White layer through new Cute Crochet Embossing Folder. Attach to folded Shy
Shamrock base.
Die cut largest frame from the Wildflower Dies from the Pretty in Pink piece. Also, run this through the new Cute Crochet Embossing Folder. Set aside.
Select a watercolor sheet of your choosing from the Full of Life DSP pack. Cut the middle die from an area of your choosing. Set aside.
Stamp sentiment in Memento Black onto smaller white layer. Die cut from smallest die.
Next place foam adhesive strips on the back of all 3 pieces. (Yes, all three. The foam strip a just a tad higher than Dimensionals.)
Start with the largest "frame" and adhere to the card front.
Next, add the middle "frame" and then the smallest one.
Now, stamp 2 "dragonflies" in any area you choose. Fussy cut out with Paper Snips.
Attach "dragonflies" to card front where desired.
Attach White piece inside, along with strip of DSP.
Finish with scattered, new Iridescent Faceted Gems and a knot of Shy Shamrock ribbon. I also added a little Wink of Stella to the "dragonfly" "wings".

Sara's Poised Peony Card

Yesterday, Sara - our CEO, shared this "Spotlight" card on her video. It was PERFECT timing, as I've been working on samples using the Frames and Flowers DSP and Poised Peony stamps for club. (Stay tuned for MANY ideas! I LOVE this bundle!!) For her card, she used a "frame" from the DSP (shown below), "spotlighting" the flower of the stamp by punching it out with a 2 1/4" circle punch. It's been a long time since I've done "spotlighting". In retrospect, while I copied Sara's card, I think when I usually did "spotlighting" the image underneath was not colored, only the "spotlight". What do you think?? (Sorry for the dark pix. gloomy day!)

Measurements:

Petal Pink: 1/2 sheet
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 3" x 4 1/4" (front), 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
Frames & Flowers DSP: frame

To Make This Card:

Remove center from frame. (I used the center for another card you'll see later!) Adhere to front of folded Petal Pink card.
Stamp "peony" in Memento Black ink onto center of one smaller White, front piece. Stamp, again, onto other piece. You really only need just the flower and a few leaves.
Punch the 2nd image out with 2 1/4" circle Punch
Color the punched flower with Blends as shown. Color just the "leaves" that will show on the full image on the White layer (or not)
Wrap Linen Thread twice around the White layer, tie in a bow.
Then, mount the full White layer over the opening on the "frame".
Add the "flower" to the card with Dimensionals, lining up image.
Add the White piece to the inside of card. Stamp bud on lower Right corner. Color with Blends.
Finish with Wink of Stella on the "flower" and scattered Champagne Rhinestones.

I just liked the composition and details of this card created by Kelly Acheson, along with a little touch of glimmer! It uses several of our new InColors as well as my favorite tag from the Unbounded Love Dies.

Pretty in Pink (N): 2" x 3 1/4" (tag)

Unbounded Beauty DSP (N): 2 1/4" x 4 1/2" 1/2" x 4" strip
2024 InColor Glimmer Paper (N): 1/4" x 4 5/8", scrap (Pretty in Pink)

To Make This Card:

Wrap 7 1/2" of Pretty in Pink ribbon around folded White card, taping to the FRONT.
Next, mount DSP to Petunia Pop piece. Tuck Glimmer strip behind and attach to card over ribbon.
Die cut "sprig" from White and attach to this piece.
Die cut "fancy tag" from Petunia Pop AND Pretty in Pink. Separate these two.
Stamp sentiment in Petunia Pop ink onto Pretty in Pink center. Insert into Petuntia Pop "fancy tag". Secure with scotch tape or mini glue dots. Add to card with Dimensionals.
