Die Cutting from Pattern Paper for Fun Floral Cards

Happy Saturday everyone! Alexandra here to share two fun floral cards with you.

This weeks theme is pattern paper which I usually struggle to use, so this was a challenge for me! Hopefully my cards can inspire you to pull out your pattern paper even if you also find using pattern paper a challenge.

I found some black and white pattern paper in my stash and I decide it would be fun to die cut flowers from it. I picked out four of the patterns to use and die cut the June Meraki Flora dies from each of the papers. Then I layered the flowers together and added the flower centres which I had cut from gold cardstock.

I was only planning on making one card but after I had created all the flowers I discovered that I had enough to create two cards! I used the striped pattern paper flowers for one card and the polka dot ones for the other.

For the background on the first card I used the Foliage Frenzy stencil and ink blended with some green inks. I die cut this panel with one of my basic stitched dies and adhered it to my cardbase with glue.

I went a bit brighter with my second background and used the Butterfly Garden stencil. I ink blended this one with pink, yellow, and blue to create a rainbow of colours. I followed the same layout for this card and adhered the flowers to the lower left corner and arranged the leaves around the stems.

For the sentiments on both the card I used the Guilded Greetings stamp and die set. Since this set creates so many sentiments in one go, I keep the extras in my stamp packaging and then when I need a sentiment all I need to do is pull one out. This saves so much time!
