Flower Vase and flowers

I enjoy making cards and I usually leave some space for tag with messages when ready to give away.

The flower vases are cut out from Jeart 10000015-12 - Just For You die shapes. I used foam for stems and stigma and vellum paper for the flowers.

Of flowers and hearts

Embossed dies such as this Jeart 3500188 Butterfly#22 make a defined statement of its own. You can leave it as it is or color it or even cut around it for its shape. I embossed the butterfly on tracing/vellum paper and make the concertina (fold to form a fan). Other die shapes used are Jeart 1200691 Bottle#1/Vase.

Embossed hearts - Jeart 3500159 and cut out Jeart 1710008 Hearts#1 make a nice combination for a "love" card. There are a lot of heart shapes in this card, a picture paints a thousand words, so they say. That's why there's no wording here! When I made this I was thinking of my mom - she has the most kind, loving, giving and gentle heart and no amount of words can describe my love for her so the more hearts the better. Other die used here is Jeart 1800007 Border Lace#6.

Made Especially for You

Die shapes used are Jeart 1300011 Bottle and 1701085 Flower#12. Replace bottle with Jeart Vase shape die if you don't have Bottle shape die.

I colored the cut outs and put a layer of clear gloss. My son suggested nail vanish for the same glossy effect but I haven't tried that.

Clear gloss effect on bottle.

Decorate with ribbons and border sticker.

Another design out of Jeart 1710037 -Gown/dress#4

I'm making cards like this to keep the family's favorite recipes in it. Cut outs are from Jeart dies- 1710034 - apron#1

The flower cart is from Sizzix die. Background paper is sort of like mulberry paper, any paper with lots of fiber will do, just wet around the shape and tear off slowly to give the fiber effect.

Nothing but the best for mom

The dress is the same die shape used for wedding gown. Jeart 1710034 apron die shape and the rest are from punches. The words are alphabet rub-ons in different font. Versatile in creating personal messages.
