Paper Cuts

I wanted something bright and fun to send to a friend and I thought this Deja Views paper with SU’s Gable Green would be perfect.  I love how the pattern mimics the Looks Like Spring flower.

I used Gable Green for the card base, then adhered a panel of patterned paper cut slightly smaller than the card front.  “Happy Everything” is stamped in black ink on a strip of white cardstock, then mounted onto Gable Green and adhered to the card.

I stamped the big flower using Pixie Pink ink on white cardstock.  I cut it out and gave the petals a bit of shape by “bending” each one around my finger.  I punched a 3/4″ circle from green gingham paper, attached it to a circle of chipboard and, using a Crop-a-dile, I punched two holes to make a “button.”  After knotting a scrap of white organdy through the holes, I attached the flower to a panel of white cardstock (mounted on Gable Green) using dimesionals.

The two smaller flowers are punched from scraps of Pixie Pink and the Deja Views print using the Spring Bouquet Flower punch.  The larger of the two flowers is mounted on a dimensional and it’s center is a punched 1/2″ circle of gingham mounted onto a punched circle of tablet backing.  (I like to use actual chipboard and punched tablet backing for differing thicknesses and various levels of dimension.)  I used thin strips of the green gingham for the stems.

Once the flowers were assembled and adhered, I attached the completed panel to the card front using dimensionals.

I picked up a couple of these tiny clipboards at my local A.C. Moore.  I thought it would be fun to make one to match the card just as a little extra!
