Floral Friday Paper Pieced Sunflower Sympathy Card

The sunflower background die is from Scrapbooking Made Simple. I used a host of old patterned papers by Provo Craft to paper piece the petals back into the die. The center of the flower is brown flock by Inkadinkado. 

Then, sigh, I matted the flower die panel onto another piece of patterned paper from that same paper pad. Well…it was crooked and for some reason I thought that I could straighten it out making the same marginal frame around the edges using pinking shears. It didn’t. SMH! I decided to make the whole thing look uneven by trimming the edges in different areas and ways. I made it look like it was supposed to be distressed.

The card base is from Current. I inked the edges so it wouldn’t stick out and compete with the white sentiment label. The sentiment is by Stampendous and it’s cut out with a Spellbinders die.

Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

Valentine's Day with Flocking powder

I made this skinny card so I could let my sentiment hang off the edge. The sentiment stamp is by Close to My Heart which is on a Cricut label die and the happy letters are by Cosmo Cricket. The patterned papers are by My Mind's Eye and the heart ribbon by Heidi Grace for Fiskars. The heart in the middle of the twine is a button from my stash as well as the lace at the bottom. 

I die cut the hearts using my Cricut and then ran them through my Xyron to make them sticky. I used two separate colors of pink flocking powder on each of the heart die cuts. Once the flocking powder was on the heart I ran them through my Cuttlebug to make the flocking powder really stick to the adhesive on the heart. The two colors of pink flocking powder are by Inkadinkado. 

Thanks so much for looking.
