CCMC804 – Paper Florist Dies

February 8, 2024 By Connie | Leave a Comment

It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. It’s a bright, cheery color challenge this week!

PAPER FLORIST DIES

You know when you buy something, then only use it a couple times? That’s what happened with my Paper Florist Dies! I don’t think of them because they are stand-alone dies without a stamp set to coordinate with them! But thought they would be perfect for today’s color challenge!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Sweet Sorbet cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was added on top.
The Masterfully Made DSP was cut with the largest Nested Essentials Die and added to the background.
The rounded flowers were cut from Sweet Sorbet cardstock, the centers from Daffodil Delight cardstock and the leaves from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and put together, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Thinking of You from Garden Meadow Stamp Set was stamped with Memento Black Ink on 1 x 2-1/2 Daffodil Delight cardstock and the end cut at an angle. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A trio of Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls were added to the background.

Love the colors this week! OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary.

CS96 – Paper Florist Dies

Happy official 4th of July! Hope you are celebrating with friends or family! And, welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Mary and I will pick a theme. This month the theme is Dies! So many awesome dies in the catalog that can almost make the card by themselves!

PAPER FLORIST

Of course, I wanted to make a patriotic card…and yesterday’s card would have been perfect for this theme, too! But I pulled out my Paper Florist Dies for this card…a few runs thru the Cut & Emboss Machine and it was almost done! No current 4th of July sentiments, so had to create my own.

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Sweet Sorbet cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Blueberry Bushel is embossed with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder and added to the front.
The three single flower petals from the Paper Florist Dies were cut twice from Sweet Sorbet cardstock, the center scallop circle from Blueberry Bushel and the center from Basic White. The petals were curled backwards and glued together (use a second center scallop circle on the back to hold them together as you work!) It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The leaves were cut with the Dies from Parakeet Party cardstock and tucked under the flower.
The five petal flowers were cut from Basic White cardstock with the dies and the little centers from Sweet Sorbet cardstock. They were added with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals over the leaves.
Happy and a portion of birthday from Biggest Wish Stamp Set were stamped with Sweet Sorbet Ink on Basic White cardstock and hand-cut. They were added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The 4 from Alphabet Al A Mode Dies was cut from Basic White cardstock.

I think this worked out great, don’t you? I love Sweet Sorbet and Blueberry Bushel together for the red and blue! Make sure to check out Mary’s Creatively Simple card over on Create with Connie and Mary!

SUPPLIES:

Stamps: Biggest Wish
Inks: Sweet Sorbet
Cardstock: Basic White, Sweet Sorbet, Blueberry Bushel, Parakeet Party
