Creating Arrangements of Flowers on Cards

I enjoyed all the creative possibilities of creating arrangements of flowers on cards with the Petal Park Stamp Set and Coordinating Petal Park Builder Punch from Stampin’ Up on a recent Live.

This photopolymer stamp uses two step stamping to create beautiful flowers and leaves. The coordinating punch allows you to quickly and easily create a handful of elements that you can build up either with or without the other images in the stamp set.

Creating Arrangements of Flowers on Cards

Both of these cards demonstrate the impact these small flowers can have on a project.

Aperture Card

For this first card, some Designer Series Paper from the Bright & Beautiful pack was added to a mat of Fresh Freesia cardstock. An aperture was then cut into it with the Nested Essentials die.

Foliage was stamped onto a white card base and then the aperture mat was added over the top with dimensionals. Stamped and punched flowers were added with a mixture of Multipurpose Glue and Dimensionals to build up the arrangement in the aperture

Lattice Split Card

This second card was a fancy fold Lattice Split Card. This eye-catching style of card lends itself perfectly to floral arrangements.

I watched a tutorial by Brandy Cox using this style of card and was inspired to have a go. I needed to convert the sizes to fit metric cardstock, so here is the metric version:

Take a piece of Thick Basic White measuring 29.7cm x 10.5cm and score at 14.9cm on the long side. Fold along the score line to create the card base.
Cut a 9.5cm piece from the front panel of the card. Slice this cut off piece into five 1.5cm strips. Cut the remaining 2cm wide strip in half to create two 1cm strips.

Brandi’s Imperial sizes are :

Cut a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Basic White cardstock and score at 5-1/2″. This is the card base.
Cut off 3-1/4″ from the bottom of the front panel. From this piece, cut five 1/2″ x 4-1/4″ strips. The remaining strip will be slightly wider. Cut this piece in half to create two thinner strips that will be used to secure the other five lattice strips.

For the inside flap I cut a 14.8cm x 11.5cm piece of Basic White and scored at 1cm along the 11.5cm side. In Imperial this would need to be 5 7/16″ x 4 3/4″ scored at 1/2″ along the 4 3/4″ side. This flap is then attached to the back of the tent fold card base.

The DSP comes from the Glorious Gingham 6″ x 6″ paper pack.
