Floral cards aren't my go-to design but that doesn't mean that I don't love them. I love it when I can design an all die cut project.
Today's project combines:
Honey Bee Stamps - Lovely Layers: Dogwood | dies
Lawn Fawn - Stitched Ripple Backdrop | Lawn Cuts
Concord & 9th - Friendly Florals | dies
I love a clean + simple design. With a bit of ink blending, it helps so that the focal point isn't lost. Do you notice all the pops of gold glitter detail?
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Mix it up Monday everyone! I'm so excited to get a chance to play with the Mama Elephant Cake Gift Card Holder die set. It's so fun and a fabulous way to make your card interactive!
I started by cutting the various parts of the gift card holder from colored cardstock and then used blending brushes and dye inks to add depth and dimension to them before assembling it all with liquid glue.
I pulled out the Lawn Fawn Heart Pandas to adorn the bottom of the cake, including the butterfly and trail. They are attached with foam squares.
My background panel is embossed with the Spellbinders Tiny Dots embossing folder and ink blended for depth to bring out the fun dots. I also stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the Mama Elephant Way to Go stamp set, using the coordinating die to cut it out.
I popped the embossed panel up with foam tape on a white card base and splattered it with gold watercolor. Next, I glued the gift card holder to that with liquid glue. Then I popped up the sentiment above the candles.
For finishing touches I added stardust Stickles to the inside of the flames and butterfly wings. Then I went over the rest of the flames with glossy accents letting them mix together a bit.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

I thought it would be fun to challenge myself to feature one stamp set, three different ways:
These are the products that I'm featuring today:
Waffle Flower - Sweet Strawberry | Combo stamp + die
Lawn Fawn - Stripes 'n Sprinkles | 6x6
Spellbinders - Essential Stylish Ovals | dies
Lawn Fawn - How You Bean - Strawberries Add On | stamp
Pretty Pink Posh - Friend Shadow | die
Spellbinders - Emerald Cut Labels and Tag | die
Pretty Pink Posh - Sweet Chocolates | stamp + dies
Waffle Flower - Inside/Outside Scalloped Circle | die
Lawn Fawn - Scripty Birthday | lawn cut
Let me break them down for you. I wanted them to be birthday cards because I never seem to have enough of them in my stash.
This is the one that doesn't specifically have a birthday sentiment but I could easily add a panel to the interior with a birthday greeting. This one features:
Waffle Flower - Sweet Strawberry | Combo stamp + die
Lawn Fawn - Stripes 'n Sprinkles | 6x6
Spellbinders - Essential Stylish Ovals | dies
Lawn Fawn - How You Bean - Strawberries Add On | stamp
Pretty Pink Posh - Shadow Friend | die
I wanted to have at least one design that had glitter cardstock on it. I'm a big fan of the Pretty Pink Posh Shadow dies.
I think this is my favorite from the trio. I love the contrast of the red and yellow.

I don't use those Emerald Cut Label and Tag dies enough.
I love the scallops and stitches along with the pops of black.

Hi friends! It's Amanda from Twiddler's Nook for the weekly dose of Mix it up Monday. I'm officially out of the holiday crafting for a little bit. But sometimes we didn't get to play with our holiday goodies enough and it's fun to find ways to use them all year long. Today I'm showing an idea to use that sweet Pretty Pink Posh fox past Valentine's Day!
I cut all the pieces for the fox and ink blended them for a little depth and dimension, then used liquid glue to adhere it all together. Next, I pulled out the Spellbinders Little Blooms set and started cutting out flowers and leaves.
I used liquid glue to assemble the flowers and then also to add them into the fox's paws. Then I set the fox aside and used the Pretty Pink Posh Happy Days Stencil on a piece of pink cardstock. After inking it up, I trimmed 1/2" off the bottom and popped it up on a white card base with foam tape. Next I added a strip of yellow cardstock to the bottom.
I cut a Spellbinders Make a Wish Arch from vellum and started assembling the rest together with foam squares and tape runner. I like to use dry adhesive whenever possible with vellum because liquid glue makes it warp. It doesn't like the moisture.
Last I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Mama Elephant Way to Go, the used the coordinating die to cut it out before popping it up with foam strips.
For finishing touches today, I added little eyelashes to my fox's eyes and glossy accents to her nose and eyes.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
