Pierced Blooms

What a delightful find in the Pierced Blooms Dies, well the In Bloom Bundle in general! Did you catch this in the new January-June Mini Catalog? I totally missed it. Not only is it awesome when paired with the Paper Blooms DSP in the SAB catalog, but it stands alone so beautifully as well! This card was CASED from one of my favorite demos from Australia, Gail Ellis. I did add my own touch with the Soft Seafoam leaves and Pearl accents! B e sure to give this bundle a look-see! Enjoy!

Paper Blooms Meets In Bloom Bundle

I decided to purchase the In Bloom Bundle that coordinates with the gorgeous Paper Blooms DSP in the SAB brochure. I just didn't have anything that I thought did it justice, and this is the Bundle that it was designed to be used with. (There is an error in your SAB Brochure) I wanted to share how to use the sheet of DSP with the circles. Yes, you can use it as is, but it is really designed for you to use the Pierced Blooms Dies to cut out the flowers, that are then beautifully shaded! You can also use the Pierced Blooms Dies to cut out the individual flowers and leaves! I have also paired it with a piece of the Rococo Rose Ombre DSP, also in the SAB Brochure. Be sure to check out these first SAB offerings. They are only available until Feb 28!!

Measurements:

Whisper White: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
Night of Navy: 4 1/4" square, 1" x 3 1/4" strip
Rococo Rose Ombre DSP: 3 1/4" x 4 7/8"
Paper Blooms DSP: "circles", matching flower

To Make This Card

Fold Whisper White card in half. (The fold will be on the left!!)
Attach Night of Navy piece in the center. Center the Rococo Rose Ombre DSP over.
Cut 2 "Stitched Blooms". One from a Navy "circle", and one from a Rococo Rose circle. Then cut one flower (I cut a Petal Pink Bloom from the "Bloom" DSP).
Cut various "leaves" from the Soft Seafoam and Old Olive "circles". I cut several and then figured out what I wanted to use later.
Cut 2 flower "centers" and 3 small "flowers" from Navy "circles". Attach the "centers" to the 2 cut flowers.
Emboss sentiment in White Embossing Powder. Cut a "flag" at the end.
Now, you are ready to start arranging them on your card. I started with the sentiment, and worked from there. Add the 2 "solid" flowers first. Add the "detailed flower" over all with a Dimensional. Finish by adhering "leaves" where desired.
Finish with Clear Droplets or Rhinestones.
