For this month’s Casually Crafting Blog hop, I have designed a card fussy cutting paper flowers for the focal image .

The idea behind this blog hop is to show that you can create beautiful cards even if you don’t have lots of equipment. These beautiful cards are great for crafters who are just starting out, but even avid crafters will love to try these designs.

This card features fussy cut paper flowers from the Favored Flowers Designer Series paper from Stampin' Up!

Instructions

  • Fold the card along the score line to create the card base.
  • Stick the two mats of Designer Series Paper to the front of the card.
  • Using the paper snips, cut out the flowers from the Favored Flowers Designer Series paper. I leave a small border around the edge as I cut them to make it easier.
  • The large pair of flowers are stuck to the card front using dimensionals and the small single flower is added underneath with multipurpose adhesive. It is important to put a good amount of dimensionals on the bag of these paper pieces to support them.
  • The “Love You” sentiment comes from the “Thanks a Bunch” stamp set, which is another Sale-a-Bration option. Stamped it in Memento ink onto the strip of Petal Pink cardstock and after shaping the end, back with Basic Black card.
  • Stick a bow of Basic Black twine to the card front with a glue dot and then add the sentiment strip with dimensionals.
  • Some Black Matte Dots give the finishing touch to the front.
These strips of Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper are perfect for decorating the inside of this card.
  • Stick the Basic White mat to the inside of the card with liquid adhesive. Stick the strips of Designer Series paper along the bottom.
