The first uses some layered flowers I cut with my Cricut. I used the deep cut blade and stabilised the felt with heat 'n bond first. I hand stitched around the edges of the flowers to give them some definition and the leaves come from YOF violets:
The second card is a congratulations card for a friend who just bought a new house. I designed the house using SCAL (super easy - just weld a square, triangle and rectangle together). Used a strip of paper from the Green Boutique pad and scor-tape to create the glitter strip.

Both are adorable - really love the stitching around the flowers!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on both of them! Love the houses you created using SCAL. I just got the deep cut blade to try cutting felt with my Cricut too.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! The felt houses are so cute! And the stitched flowers are so striking too!
ReplyDeleteYour stitching around the flowers is such a neat idea! I immediately thought "wow, I like that"!!
ReplyDeleteThey're both great cards. The flowers are just awesome. The stitching around the edges makes them unique and special.

ReplyDeleteVery cute!!! I sooooo love the color combos.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are fantastic! I love your colors.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are wonderful! The stitching on the flowers is a wonderful detail!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! So clever to just make your own :) Hey Anne, I have a question or, well, a request. I am making a mini album for my boyfriend's birthday and (it's one of Cosmo Crickets blackboard albums) it only has 6 pages, so I made some more pages for it - but... the regular hole punch my host family has doesn't reach far enough. I do have a Crop-a-dile at home in Germany, but not here in Auckland. So basically, I was wondering whether you could somehow help me. It's really just punching some holes into cardstock, that's all I need... I hope you're fine in rainy Auckland and have a good day!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes!
Nina
Very cute! I like the Hawaiian shores flowers with black stitching!
