Create & Take: Thank you Flowers

 

Hi bloggers and Happy New Year! This is a review of our first Create & Take 2015 and we wanted to start off with something bright and flowery! Making use of a new Tonic Studios die, we decided to design a 'Thank you' card for the first week. So let's get started.....

Products Needed:

Square Cream Card Blank

Bazzill Basics Vintage Lace Cardstock - Vintage Lace

Bazzill Basics Cardstock - Berrylicious

Bazzill Basics Cardstock - Intense Kiwi

Bazzill Basics Cardstock - French Vanilla

Tonic Studios Thank You Topper Die Inner Set

Crafts Too Flower 2 Die Set

3D Foam Squares

Instructions:

1. Cut a piece of Vintage Lace cardstock 13cm x 13cm and adhere to the card blank.

2. Die cut the two smallest dies from the Thank You die set together from Berrylicious cardstock.

3. Die cut the middle die from the Thank You die set from French Vanilla cardstock.

4. Adhere both die cut pieces together using glossy accents. Adhere to the middle of the card using 3D foam squares.

5. Die cut three flowers using the Crafts Too flower dies from Berrylicious, Intense Kiwi and French Vanilla cardstock.

6. Adhere the flowers to the sentiment on the card, whilst changing the colour of the dots in the center of the flowers, so that each flower has a different colour center.

And that's all there is to it! The Thank You die from Tonic Studios is very versatile and could also be used as a gift tag on a present or as a gift tag tied around some flowers. The only limit is your imagination!
