Sunflowers N Fat Daisies

 Somewhat descriptive I hope.  lol  I have enjoyed making these new "Fancy" cards for a while now.  Not sure I'll ever go back to the "plain" version again.  But I've learned to NEVER say never!!!!  You can use these prints for a lot of different brands of dies.  I just showed you what I used.  I also use them for my own dies.  So if the die fits in the circle it should work.  The first print is free.  I have created these prints for my own use.  I would ask that you honor my hard work and NOT share them.  Some of you will do whatever you want anyway, but that's on you....not on me.

If you would be interested in some of my prints, send me your name and email address.   Sunflower prints come in creme, rust, and regular (prints on yellow cardstock).  The fat daisies prints come in teal, rust, lavender, yellow, and creme.  These prints are $2 for each color.....this includes front and back pdfs.  You can mail me a US postal money order (that is the only method of payment I will accept for each color print file in an envelope.  When I receive the money, I will email your prints to you.  I am not going to be signing up with Etsy for this.  It's not worth it to me to jump through all those hoops anymore.

EMAIL ME for my address  

If you are interested in other prints, just email me and I'll see what I can do.  I have LOTS of different prints for lots of dies and punches.  Just ask. Prices will vary depending on the level of work involved in the print.

Hopefully you will all enjoy making these flowers as much as I do.  Here's a link to the VIDEO 

The above pic is the creme print.

I'll upload a few more pics when I can find where I put them on my computer!

A Pink Daisy Bouquet

 The video pretty much describes what I was doing.  I'm sure I'll be using more wired stems on my cards.  I've also been wiring my ivy and it looks much more realistic that way.   Video

The card is a 5x7 pale pink with pale pink daisies.  I think I used 22 gauge wire on the stems and then floral taped them for a little more thickness hanging below the bow.

This card really is dimensional!!!

Making Realistic Baby's Breath

 I've been using this method for a bit and it's working for me quite well.  When mom had the flower shop, we made a LOT of corsages and bouquets and they pretty much all had BB in them,  So I have been on a quest for a long time trying to get it as realistic looking as possible. Just like with my flowers!  lol

As you can tell I've been on a corsage making kick lately.  And yes I'm still doing cards too. The lavender corsage has the new BB in it.

Below is a list of the punches used in the video:

A Long Time Coming

It seems like forever since I've done this.  Hope I remember how!  lol  Might as well have some fun showing projects.  And keep our motivation UP!!!!  It seems age is winding me down a little but I refuse to stop.  I'll give it my all, and All to God's Glory.

So what shall we start with? 

Here is a corsage I did today.  Used Grape Soda on the color file.  Haven't decided whether to make it a wrist corsage or a pin on type.
