Today I have two cards to share. My first one is using TE’s new Big Blooms – Sunflower. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this stamp. To start my card I stamped the sunflower on Sugar Cube cardstock using Oreo ink and colored it with Copic Markers.
I trimmed off a few edges with Stitched Rectangle Stacklets and then wrapped twine around the left side. For the sentiment I die cut the new Happy Script die from Salt Water Taffy and stamped birthday on Mocha cardstock from In & Out Birthday.
To finish I put a strip of vellum behind the sentiment to make it a bit more visible and tied a bow and attached it to the twine on the side.

My second card uses a brand new cutting plate: With Sympathy Cutting Plate. This isn’t my favorite occasion to make cards for but it’s one of the most important. This cutting plate makes it easy to assemble a card quickly when you need one right away.
To start my card I cut the cutting plate from Sugar Cube cardstock and set it aside. The next thing I did was cut a piece of watercolor cardstock to fit behind the cutting plate and loosely watercolored it to resemble the front of the cutting plate. I sandwiched a piece of vellum between the cutting plate and the watercolor piece to soften the colors.
To finish I added a couple of Candy Corn enamel dots to the centers of the flowers and attached the panel to the background using foam tape.
