Easy Huge Gerbera Daisy Birthday Card!

Hello!

Hope all is well with you!  I love this die set and knew I had to have it.  The flowers are huge and pretty versatile (with artistic license;).   I just added some shading to color cardstock for a little depth and layer on top of Altenew's Quilted Circles panel, then used an oval die to frame it out.  (Supplies are linked below.  They are AFIL, so I may receive a small commission with items purchased using them;)

I decided not to add any texture to the frame for fear it might get too busy.  I used a little gold glitter cardstock for the centers.  These Altenew dies feature the keyhole design which makes them super easy to line up!

I have other finished projects sitting beside me, so I know I'll be back soon!

Here is the supply list:

Looking forward to being back soon!   I'm also editing a Halloween YouTube video.

Bye for now!

Use Scraps to Make Fast 'N Fun Prize Ribbons for Home Dec, Classroom Awards & More!


 Hello!
Just wanted to post a quick video showcase/demo of some ribbon ideas for table/party decor, name tags, school/Sunday school awards, etc.  I went a bit wild once I got die-cutting.  (The purple & gold ribbons represent Best of Breed at dog shows;).  I started with the Simon Says Stamp Prize Ribbon dies.   Then added simple circle and star dies you likely already have to make them even more spectacular!

Here is the link to the video:



I posted the supply links for most things below and I appreciate the support as I may get a small commission from items purchased using these links;)

Here they are up-close:

Happy Fourth of July to all who celebrate!
