Flower Arches

Posted on February 6, 2026 9:36 PM by Julie Comment

A fun, easy, colorful card for a speical birthday girl. Change up the greeting and this would be perfect for Mother’s Day, get well or just thinking of you. It’s also a great way to use some colorful backgrounds that maybe aren’t that wonderful on their own.

It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge IC1053 & we are visiting proflowers & their Pinterest Board where I was inspired by THIS picture.

To make my card, I had a background that I saved because it had some pretty ink colors mixed around. It was actually a large white heavy envelope that I used under something I was color blending. I moved it around until I found the area I wanted for the flowers & another area w/ greens for the leaves. They were heat embossed w/ black then die cut. The leaves were trimmed off the green version & added to the pink flowers. The greeting was also black embossed. I used 4 of the arches to cut the graduated sizes of turquoise arch frames, then attached them as seen. The bottom one was popped up & each succeeding arch was popped up on the right sides to even them out. The flowers, greeting & some black glitter sequins were added.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For the Inspirations Challenge we are visiting Decoupage Napkins & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS.

To make my tasty cupcake, I colored & die cut it. The wrapper was white, so I used a couple of pink Copics to add the polka dots. It’s popped up one layer & I added stickles on the icing highlights. It was attached to a white background die cut w/ the new Swiss Cheese cover. It’s also popped up one layer. The little flag banners were cut out of mauve & added in the upper right w/ the greeting on top. The whole front is attached to a larger piece of the same mauve pink.

This is an easy card to make & this cupcake is so sweet the recipient is going to love it!

Here are the Copics I used:

Flower Garden

Looking forward to spring flowers? It may be a while here, but I have some pretty sketch flowers to brighten the day. It sure to bring a smile to the recipient and it would be perfect as a birthday, get well or just thinking of you.

A big congrats to Arlene, the newest Featured Stamper FS988! She has a sweet gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the multicolor background but put it inside the center shape instead of around, I kept the colors & spring theme but used flowers outside the shape instead of a bunny inside.

I had colored these flowers quite a while ago & today was the day I used them. The multicolor inset is also something I made quite awhile ago & the colors fit in w/ my tall skinny flowers. It was made by spritzing the inside of a grid embossing folder w/ shine sprays which have a nice shimmer to them. The paper was placed inside the spritzed folder. closed then rubbed by hand. I found you can also run it thru the Sizzix if you take away all the shims so that it doesn’t really emboss, just presses the folder to the paper. I die cut a white panel first w/ a rounded rectangle then used a swanky oval to cut out the center. I used the next size smaller oval to cut a bright blue layer to border the inside. The smallest ovals were used for the greeting. The flowers were fussy cut. Parts of the greeting & flowers are popped up to even them out since they’re on different levels in places.

Here are the Copics I used for the flowers:
