Fresh Florals: Two ways to stretch your floral diecuts

Hello friends!

Today I'm back on the blog using one of my favorite Pinkfresh products. The new line of stencils and coordinating die sets is simply amazing and the recently released Fresh Florals set is no exception.

I just adore the versatility of these florals, the size of all the greenery and how easily you can just layer all the florals.

I went ahead and inked up several panels with the coordinating stencils and created two easy to make cards with these goodies:

These are the steps to create this card:

1. Ink several panels with the Fresh Florals coordinating stencils using Sky Blue, Paradise, Atlantis, Peony, Mimosa, Sweet Mustard and Spruce tips. Use Grassy Knoll for the center of the flowers.

2. Cut out all the flowers and leaves withe the coordinating die.

3. Cut out a rectangle in the center of your front panel using the Dotted Fancy Frame dies.

4. Cut out a frame with the smallest dies of this Dotted Fancy Frame set out of Glacier Glitter cardstock and secure it onto your front panel using tape.

5. Arrange your leaves and branches around your front panel as show in the photo and use the smallest flower to embellish your design.

6. Use the Secret Garden Coverplate die to cut out an A2 panel. Trim part of the diecut leaves from this diecut and adhered it under your front panel frame.

7. Stamp and die cut your sentiment from the Grateful greenery Stamp set using Detail Black ink.

8. Add some Iridescent Dew Drops to add some extra shine.

   
   

For my second card I created a cascade of flowers using a fun color combo:

1. Ink up two panels using Sparking rose, Spruce Tips and Grassy Knoll using the Fresh Florals coordinating stencils.

2. Once you cut out all the flowers and greenery with the coordinating dies, use a pencil to bend the petals of these flowers and use a stylus and a foam pad to add depth to the center of your flowers.

3. Die cut a frame with the Nested Rectangles Postage Edge dies and foam mount it onto your font panel.

4. Adhere small squares of foam adhesives between the layers of your flowers and secure your flowers onto your front panel as shown in the photo to create some movement.

5. Tuck some greenery underneath your flowers.

6. Ink a piece of white cardstock with Spruce tips and cut out your sentiment with the Thanks Basic Sentiment die. Foam mount this sentiment onto your card front.

I hope these cards give you some ideas to create colorful designs using this fabulous set.

Thank you so much for stopping by and happy crafting!
