Congrats Card

I sent this card to my Aunt a few weeks ago as she received a promotion at work. She loved it.

Recipe: (all Stampin' Up!)

Card Stock: pre cut large scallop circle folded in half

Sizzix Daisy Die Cut with two shades of yellow

Sizzix Leaf in Old Olive

Two chocolate chip brads (one cordoroy and one smooth)

I had to use the two brads and flowers to help balance the card out as it wanted to roll over to one side when I first made it with only the larger flower.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers, E

Thank You Daisy

I had a thank you card to make this week, this one is for my daughter's dance teacher who also owns the local flower shop. I just love how it turned out!! For a bit more sparkle next time I would add some dazzling diamonds (aka glitter) to the lighter colored petals before assembling and curling. Each layer of the flowers has three different colors of cardstock before sticking a brad through the middle. I did find that gluing each layer to the one below first helped keep it all together before putting the brad through. I curled each color before gluing as well which was easier also.

Recipe: (all Stampin' Up!)
Card base: Melon Mambo

Flowers: Elegant Eggplant, Lovely Lilac, and Orchid Opulence

Sizzix die: Top Note (white card stock)

Leaves: Old Olive with sizzix die

Misc: embossing folder (swiss dots), hodgepodge hardware

Thanks for looking, Cheers E
