Flowers on Trellis

A floral card for a special day. Perfect for a birthday, Mother’s Day or a wedding/anniversay card. The greeting is so flexible but it’s also easy to add any greeting you wish or make the colors different to suit the recipient. For a wedding card, try using the bride’s colors to make it extra special.

A big congrats to Kristina, the newest Featured Stamper, FS948! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the color combo & floral theme, but used dies instead of stamped, added a cover die underneath & embossed a greeting.

This is a sneak peek of some new dies coming out Wed, 4/9/25! To make my card, I die cut the woven cover die once out of white & once out of cardboard then adhered them together w/ liquid glue. I wanted to give the cover die a little more lift & stability. The flowers were all die cut out of a pale peach, then I used blending brushes & a darker pink ink to add color to them. The leaves were cut out of 3 shades of green & green inks were brushed onto them. The stamens were cut out of gold glitter card, then the top petals were shaped a bit before I put them all together. The greeting was gold embossed, die cut & 2 plain black sentiment die cuts were added, 1 on top & 1 on bottom to shadow it.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I have another Sneak Peak of the Floral Release coming 3/26/25. This time it’s a large, floral background set. This image would be awesome if the flowers were individually colored, but I kept my clean & simple by creating a brayered background to add color. You could also try it over any leftover backgrounds you have or do a black & white. Endless choices for this lovely image.

A big congrats to Darlene, the newest Featured Stamper FS946! She has a super gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the big floral background w/ a simple greeting, but I used different images, different colors, turned mine vertical & left off a layer,

To make my background, I used a piece of glossy card, a little brayer & a selection of little ink pads. I started w/ the yellow at the top & brayered it about 1/3 of the way down. Then added a little of the apricot on top of the lower part of the yellow. Then the 2 bright pinks, followed by the purple at the bottom. Since it’s glossy, you just have roll over it a few time to get good coverage & remove any streaks. I let it dry for a few minutes, then used the embossing buddy over it before putting it into my Misti & stamping w/ Versaclair. Since it’s a big image, I repeated this in any areas that didn’t look dark enough. I knew the Versaclair would not dry totally on the glossy, so I heat embossed it w/ clear powder. It was die cut w/ the largest stitched rectangle & to make sure the embossing didn’t flake off the edges, I used the heat tool around where it was cut. The greeting was stamped, die cut & I added a peach colored band behind it that I used an edger die on, & put the cutaway portion of one but in black, down the center. A few rhinestones were added here & there.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope to see you at the IG Release Hop. (You will be able to find it at @brassandblisscraftco or on my account @julie_justwritedesigns on Instagram, Wed morning 3/26/25.)

Tie Dye Flowers

I love this big floral die cut! You can do so much with it. Paper piece all the insides, inlay the outline, die cut and attach it over pretty paper or colored background. I also tried a new technique on the little glittery orange flowers. Follow along while I explain what I did on this card. The best part is you only need 2 die sets to make this card (other than 1 plain rectangle die).

It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC100) & we are headed to Nana’s Place & her Pinterest Board where I was inspired by THIS. I read her tutorial on the nail polish flowers & really wanted to give it a try. I ended up with only the little glitter orange flowers done this way, but it was fun to try it. (Her tutorial is HERE if you want to see it.)

I started by using a glue stick to attach a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil to plain card stock & die cutting a bunch of the little flowers. Then I found some glitter orange nail polish & gave the technique a try. I brushed the nail polish onto the back of the flowers, waited for less than a minute to let the polish thicken a bit, then slowly drug the brush across the open areas. I ended up doing 1 section at a time. If you get it correctly, the polish will form an almost transparent bubble across the opening. Let it dry a minute, then add another coat for more color. I tried, but just could not get it to work on the larger flowers. For the large floral, I die cut it out of purple lava mirror card (it looks really cool in person), pushed out all the inside pieces, then attached it to a piece of white card board. I die cut it again out of a piece of glossy, brayered background I had in my stash, & pieced all them into the purple outline. The 2 white layers were die cut w/ the dot dash rectangles & attached to more of the purple mirror card. My little nail polish flowers were added as accents.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
