Flower card

I spent most of my time available one day making one of my etched-glass frames as a bridal-shower gift for a sweet girl who used to babysit my kids.  As the time drew near for me to leave, I realized I hadn’t made a card yet to accompany the gift.  Fortunately, I have a lot of stuff on hand to whip up a card.

These flowers were cut with my Silhouette and assembled months ago, waiting to be used.  The purple pattern paper was in my stash of scraps, and I always keep plenty of sparkly rhinestones around, don’t you?  The finished size is about 4″ x 4″.  This was literally a 10-minute card if you include the time it took for the glue gun to heat up.  I wish I could make scrapbook pages that fast!

  • That is fabulous. I think I'll need to make up some flowers to have on hand for making those last minute cards. Love the colors and the rhinestones add to it.

  • Simply beautiful Kelly!

    Which cut did you use to create these flowers, do you remember?

    Hope you have a creative weekend!

  • Beautiful! But, my question is… what kind of envelope do you use? Or do you use one at all? I worry about my creations being crunched in the envelope but don't really like handing someone a card all by itself.

    • Laura, I only make cards like this when I know I'll be hand-delivering them (or attached to a gift that's hand-delivered). This one went without an envelope. Most of the cards I make don't get to be this ornate so it's fun to make one like this when I can.
