Hello Sweet Blooms....

I {heart} this project that Leanne created.

I think it's the way she used so many flowers and made it look so good.  You can do this on a card as well.....Just GORGEOUS!!!!

I wanted to share Leanne'e post with you......

 

Hello Friends! Happy Monday! :) I thought I'd start the week with a little bit of scrapping and share a layout created for The Papercraft Hub and Fancy That Dies.

Lately I've been admiring all of these talented scrappers who use flowers. And lots of them. haha.. I'm usually a little bit more reserved with those sort of embellishments but I thought I'd try my hand at it too. But.... I added a little twist to challenge myself somewhat....

I had to make all the flowers myself. Therefore no pre-made/manufactured flowers allowed! Argh! I know right..?! What was I thinking! hee..

So what did that leave me with? Sweet Blooms from Fancy That Dies of course. And (because I love layering so much...) I added the Small Scallop Floret to some of the base petals of sweet blooms. sigh. I also love the flourish script that was printed onto the Bo Bunny patterned paper.

Adventurous? For me... definitely! But I enjoyed creating these embellies.

I spy...

Hello Friends. Today I want to share a layout created with the new release Fancy That Dies available right now from The Papercraft Hub. I tell you, these dies are so detailed and fun to work with, you are limited only to your imagination when it come to creating with them. :)

Lately I've noticed an increasing trend to snap photos with your phone. It is such an easy devise to use and let's face it. I'm sure there are rarely any of us who leave the house without our phones these days.. *grin*. And the apps you can get to edit and play with, are fabulous too!

My children are still too young (in my opinion) to have access to their own mobile device. However, it doesn't stop them from sneaking away with my i-phone any chance they get, to play games or like Cameron... take photos! lol! I just know when he's been near my phone...

Fancy That Ginko Flourish

 

Check out the gorgeous Ginko Flourish from Fancy That Dies available at The Papercraft Hub! And that isn't even the full size! I've trimmed a few leaves from off the underside and shortened it's length. I wanted to use its graceful curves to lead the eye to my hidden journaling.

I've also added the Dispy Daisy from Fancy That cut from blue cardstock. It gives just the right amount of textural interest without it being overwhelming or distracting.

 

 

 

And finally I couldn't leave a layout without adding a Doily Flower tucked between some patterned papers! *grin*

 

 

So.. Do you scrap using photos from your phone? I have to admit this is a new thing for me to play with. And I'm kicking myself for not doing it before now. The next time you are sitting down holding your phone, take the opportunity to scroll through your photos and start forming ideas in your head on how you should document their stories.

Organic Peony Petals by Fancy That

I love Fancy That's Peony Petals.


The set comes with 2 flowers, 2 centres and 2 leaves.

All of them look very organic with hand drawn embossing lines.

Fancy That are the first company in the market today to introduce hand drawn organic lines on their dies.

I have also included an image that shows the easel die used on the back of the card to hold the card upright.

You are still left with quite a bit of room for a message.

Designed by Pammie

 

Easy to cut and easy to attach.  Great for invitations, cards, place cards, menues for weddings to name a few.

Keep it simple

Take a look at the Frilled Blossom from Fancy That. 

The Frilled Blossom by Fancy That is the first flower of it's kind to be designed and made as a die.  This flower goes against all of the requirements for die making and it's a beauty!!!!

It's detailed and delicate and 2 flowers come in a set.  Frill them up or leave them flat. Either looks great!

How to build the flower in the card as shown......

Cut 2 large blossoms and stick one on top of the other then...

Cut 2 of the smaller blossom, stack them together and layer on top of the large blossom. 

Instead of a flower centre, roll the Fancy That Scalloped rolled rose and stack it on top.

The beauty of flower dies and rolled flower dies is that you can create your own dimensional flower mixing flowers from different sets.

I remember the posters on my wall when I was a teenager and the music I used to listen to.  It wasn't that long ago.... I keep telling myself...lol.
