These 5 cards feature the Forever Blossoms Stamp Set and the coordinating Cherry Blossoms Dies with a Die Cut from the Painted Layers Dies - all from Stampin' Up!. This is a great set to help you use up some of your Designer Series Paper.
The bottom mat for this card is cut from Calypso Coral CS, the top mat is cut from Sweet Soiree DSP. The circular die cut is from the Painted Layers Die Set and was cut from Calypso Coral CS, it was attached to the DSP as shown with Tape Runner. The sentiment is from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set and was stamped in the center of the piece with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. The Blossom stamp from the featured stamp set was stamped in the same Memento Ink on a scrap of Whisper White CS, colored with Calypso Coral and Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends, cut out with the coordinating die, and popped up with Dimensionals. I wrapped 2 pieces of Calypso Coral Satin Ribbon around the top mat (taped to the back of the mat) and added a knotted piece of the same ribbon with Glue Dots. I added Pearls to the centers of the flowers.
The bottom mat for this card is cut from Pool Party CS, the top mat is cut from Parisian Blossoms DSP. It was made similarly to the card above without any added ribbon. The Blossom stamp was colored with Pool Party Stampin' Blends. Coordinating Enamel Shapes were added to the centers of the flowers, a few Rhinestones to the circular layer.
The bottom mat for this card was cut from Gorgeous Grape CS, the top mat was cut from Botanical Butterfly DSP. This was made similar to the cards above. The blossom was colored with Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends. I added an additional Gorgeous Grape CS piece under the other 2 pieces, it was cut using the Ornate Layers Dies. The circular piece was cut from Purple Posy DSP.
The bottom mat and the circular piece for this card were cut from Flirty Flamingo CS, the next mat was cut from Flirty Flamingo DSP, but then I added a 3rd layer cut from Whisper White CS - a frame cut using the Rectangle Stitched Die Set. The blossom was colored with Flirty Flamingo and Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blend Sets. This sentiment is from the Forever Blossoms Stamp Set. I added coordinating Enamel Shapes to the center of the flowers and some pale pink Pearls to the circular shape.
Here is one more card made similarly. The bottom mat and circular piece were cut from Seaside Spray CS, the next mat was cut from some Mossy Meadow DSP, the frame piece from Whisper White CS using the Rectangle Stitched Dies. I used the same sentiment as from the card above but it was stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink. The blossom was colored with Seaside Spray and Old Olive Stampin' Blends. Pearls were added to the center of the flowers.
