Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Mary and I will pick a theme…this month it is “Thankful” and we each create a simple card every week using that theme! It’s SO appropriate for this time of year!
I haven’t used these Pierced Blooms Dies since they came out in the Jan-June catalog earlier this year! I LOVE the stitched blossoms and leaves. I was looking for something that could make sunflowers for fall and these dies worked perfectly!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- A 3 x 4-1/4 piece of In Good Taste Designer Paper was added to a3-1/8 x 4-3/8 piece of Early Espresso cardstock, then added to the front on a diagonal.
- Three of the spiked flowers were cut with the Pierced Blooms Dies from Crushed Curry cardstock, the centers from Early Espresso cardstock, and the leaves from Old Olive cardstock. They were assembled on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The label from Pierced Blooms Dies was cut from Basic White cardstock, then stamped with the Peaceful Moments stamp set greeting in Old Olive Ink. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of Brushed Metallic Dots were added to the center of the flowers.
