Christi's Creative Crew: More Wildflower Birthday

Guess I have been on a mission to make as many pretty cards as I can using the WILDFLOWER BIRTHDAY Designer Paper

The hardest part for me has been the fact that I love the pretty in pink gingham print so much that I run out. I tell my ladies "it's just paper" but, my goodness, my favorite prints seem to be back to back and I cannot choose which card to make with which print. The "banner" comes from the sheet with the sections on them and of course the large floral spray comes from the ephemera sheet. (not shown in the photo)

Card #1 was inspired by Brian King. Don't you just love that large spray of flowers? It makes me think of the bouquets that our grandson, Sawyer, loves to bring to us.

This Peach Pie color print is the backside of all of the sectioned pieces so I have to decide which sections I am willing to sacrifice to make a card with this print. I adjusted the size of my card to 5-1/2" x 4" to be able to get as many cards from the 12x12 sheet that I could without compromising all of the sections on the opposite side. I ran out of leaves in the punched out ephemera so I pulled out my Magnolia Mood stamp set and stamped the small flower with leaves in Basic Gray onto Basic White card stock and then colored it in with a light Old Olive Stampin' Blend. The leaves were the perfect size, and look like they belong with this set. Update: Magnolia Mood Stamp set is gone but you can still get the dies on the last chance list.

This card was inspired by one of our German demonstrators

For card #3 the banners are cut from 2 different prints using the STYLISH SHAPES DIES, and the largest circle from the same die set. It was inspired by Amy Koenders and I love how she inspired me to stamp the words directly onto the printed DSP.

This smaller spray of flowers was fussy cut from one of the tags that are included in the sections sheet. I love to fussy cut so I cut out the sprays for my Tuesday stampers, and the size of the DSP is the flip side of another one of the sectioned pieces. Like I said - I have to decide which section I am willing to sacrifice for another card. I chose to use the die from UNBOUNDED LOVE and the words from HOPE YOU KNOW. Some Twisted Gold Twine is the perfect addition because it ties in the gold foil that is wrapped around the flower stems. Inspired by a card I saw on FB. I chose to use some of the Peach Pie Ribbon instead of card stock.

The pretty layered cake image is also another section from the sheet that has all of the section pieces and I cut it out with the scalloped rectangle from the retired COLOR & CONTOUR dies. "Celebrate" comes from UNBOUNDED LOVE, and the 1/2" strip of the gold foil polka dots on Pretty in Pink is from another piece from the sectioned sheet. Some PARTY DOTS added on the cake decorations are the perfect touch and it was inspired by Candy but pinned by someone else on Pinterest so I do not have a blog post to link you to.
