Flowers Archives - Page 14 of 14

Hello! Becki here, to share with you a Spring layout I created using an unusual color palette, lots of fussy cutting, and a splash of gold. I always look forward to Spring. I’m always ready for warmer weather. Today I thought I’d use the Cottage Living collection to create a Spring layout. I also wanted to mix up my color palette by adding some black and white. By adding some black and white I stepped away from the traditional pastels of Spring. I chose these four pieces of patterned paper.

Ever since that floral piece of patterned paper landed on my desk I knew I wanted to fussy cut it. So, I grabbed a pair of sharp scissors and got to work.

Fussy cutting the flowers was the most time consuming part of this layout but I sat down with my favorite Netflix flick and cut away. After I was finished with the fussy cutting, I started putting together a few of the elements of my layout. I like to add machine stitching to smaller elements of the page before adding them to my background paper. That way if I mess up I’m not ruining my background paper and I’m not making my sewing machine sew through quite as many layers.

After adding machine stitching I was ready to assemble my layout.

I love how the bold background makes the flowers pop off of the page.

I love the splashes of gold against the pastel patterned papers.

Hello everyone! Eva Pizarro here to bring you a quick tutorial for a super fun and cute card for this spring. I love to make cards, but sometimes I feel like I do the same things all the time. For this card I wanted to create something a bit different, so I created a window in the front and added some small stitched shapes.

It is always hard to sew through small pieces of paper but here’s a tip! Start with a plain piece of paper – the kind you use for your printer is perfect! Do some stitches and begin feeding your shapes. After the first one, do two or three stitches more and add another. Continue doing this until you finish all your shapes.

Tear the paper very carefully and remove your garland.

Cut a circle in the card and decorate it. I used some clouds from a paper in the Home Grown collection and added flowers using the chipboard shapes. I love them! They are ready for use straight from the package and there are a lot of them in there!

Attach your raindrop garland on the back using washi tape. If you don’t want the washi to show, you can attach them in the front of the card before decorating it. Finally, put the message inside the window.
