Sharing a few of my card designs for my First Arti

Sharing a few of my card designs for my First Artisan Design Team Group Hop. Featuring @stampinupofficial ‘s Wildflower Birthday Suite Collection from the January-April Catalogue.

There are so many elements that I love about the Wildflower Birthday Suite Collection and each of us shared different tips and techniques in our designs. Although I made a variety of creations with the Wildflower Birthday Suite, today I wanted to share 3 cards with you:

🔹Card 1:
I love making paper rosettes and using the Wildflower Birthday 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper, you can make beautiful and colorful rosettes for any occasion. Also, the Birthday Celebration Dies include numbers to personalize papercrafting for that special someone.

Tip: Keep the Die Cut Designer Series Paper Sheets to use as a Mask for a card background.

🔹Card 2:
This card is my favorite… I love the simplicity. I die cut the flowers in Basic White Cardstock using the Birthday Celebration Dies. Same dies were used for the mini banners. I also fussy cut the mini cakes from the coordinating Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper. To embellish to the next level, I added the Party Dots on the die cut flowers.

🔹Card 3:
I used the Wildflower Designer Series Paper sheet that has cute gift tags and punched a hole to thread the coordinating Gold 1 ½” Open Weave Trim. This Trim makes bow making a breeze. It’s fabulous and would be great to embellish a gift. I also heat embossed the greetings from the Birthday Celebration Stamp Set.

For my first Creative Project with the Artisan Des

For my first Creative Project with the Artisan Design Team at @stampinupofficial I shared a quick and easy technique for creating watercolor die-cut images. It’s one of my favorite tips. Simply apply ink to cardstock using a Blending Brush and add drops of water to the cardstock with a Water Painter brush and die cut the image you like for your project.

I featured the Beautiful Butterflies Bokeh Suite Collection which includes the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle with coordinating Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper and the Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix.

I also included the Fresh Freesia Ribbon and the Purple Sequins that are FREE with a qualifying order during Sale A Bration.
