Elegant Inspiration and a Delightful Daffodil Sneak Peek!
Hey Friend,
How is your week going? I am so grateful for you and to be part of this incredible crafting community! I hear stories all the time of paper crafters creating "art from the heart" and making someone's day by giving them a hand-made card just because they care. With all the ups and downs of the past year, your friends and loved ones need it now more then ever!
It is a small easy gesture to let someone know that you care and what they really mean to you. The design team members love creating with each collection and they each have very unique styles that totally bring out a completely unexpected twist to paper crafting.
Wish there was a simple way to create elegant bouquets? Bouquets for any occasion, all the way from birthdays to sympathy cards, and everything in between? Do you often find yourself scrambling through your crafty stash, desperately searching something appropriate, as well as quick, easy... and beautiful?
Easily create bright and beautiful bouquets that will work for those happy spring days, and can work as a floral focal point for whatever the occasion demands. Build up as big as you need for a beautiful arrangement, or use just one or two flowers for a quick, simple, and elegant look! Combine with your decorative dies for that extra touch! The beauty and creativity is endless with the new Delightful Daffodil collection debuting on February 10th, 2021
Our Crafters Say:
"What a wonderful set, perfect for Spring. It's a must have to celebrate the upcoming Spring and Easter seasons. The floral stamps and dies, the pastel papers...they are also so cheerful and uplifting. Thanks for sharing your creativity." -Helen Budzik

Instructions: This card is a pocket to use when you want to give money as a gift. The finished card measures 7 inches by 4 inches. Take a 7 x 12’’ white cardstock and fold at 4’’ and 8’’. Cut 5 pieces of 6 3/4 x 3 3/4. Ink the edge with leaf green ink. Glue 3 of them inside the card (try to use a plain one in the middle if you want to hand-write a sentiment). For the last one, don’t glue the top part of the paper, and fold it a little bit, to make a pocket where you can put you money. Use the remaining 2 pieces of paper for the top of the card (only the back will remain white). Take care to sew a seam with your sewing machine before gluing these 2 papers to give a special touch.
We are now going to make a paper sleeve that will slide over your card to keep the money inside but that you can remove since it will not be stuck. Take a 3 x 12’’ white cardstock and fold at 3 7/8’’ and 8 1/8’’. Glue it together taking care to make sure that the sleeve will slide well over the card and that it is not too tight. Cut 1 piece of 4 x 3 7/8” in designer paper. Ink the edge with leaf green ink. Glue it on your sleeve.
Make 2 foam flowers with the Dahlia Collection. Use the archival ink cactus flower. Here’s the steps to make the flowers: Stamp using your ink onto foam paper and diecut with the coordinating die. Color one of the flowers with pink ink. Heat a little bit with the heat gun and twist the petal with your finger to give them a twist. Add stamen in the center and affix it with hot glue.
Stamp, cut and emboss leaves from the Dahlia collection. Color with leaf green archival ink. Also stamp in green and color with zig markers element from the Floral Shoppe collection.
Stamp a sentiment on a white cardstock with cactus flower ink, die cut with Ornate oval die. Ink the edge in pink and glue it on your sleeve. Add cheesecloth on top of it and glue your flowers, leaves and filler flowers on it.

Instructions: My finished card size is 5" x 7". Make card base and cover with a piece of the paper collection. I used Sheet 8B Green. Next, using gold cardstock cut out the largest Royal Elegance Frames Die and using dimensional tape, add it to the card front. Using white cardstock cut out the next size down of the dies and using DDots attach it to the gold piece. Cut an oval from the paper collection; I used 6A it is a pinkish color, then attach this to the white die cut. Stamp the sentiment onto white cardstock and using one of the decorative die pieces cut it out and using dimensional tape, add it to the card front. This gives you some dimension and draws attention to the different die cuts.
Stamp the leaves with Fern Green and using daubers color with leaf green ink and then edge in Library green for some more depth of color. Cut out with coordinating die. Lay them onto the 3D mold and spritz with water and run through the die cut machine. Lay them out onto the desk and allow to dry.
Stamp the Flowers with the colors you are going to color them with. Use what color makes you happy. Next cut out the petals with coordinating dies. This time instead of using the molds to shape the petals I used the Golf Tools and a pair of tweezers to shape and curl the flower petals. It was fun to do this for a change. Next, layer the petals and glue together then add Prills to the centers. Cut up one of the sponges and add glue then dust with glitter and allow to dry. Decide on placement of the flowers and leaves and glue them down. The card is finished!
