What fun I had playing with the Paper Florist Dies for the first time! I’ll picture the dies I used, so you can see how easy it is. The entire set is pictured in my Product List below.

I wanted to keep the background white, and started with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was layered with Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4 “, given texture with the Stripes Embossing Folder. The folder comes in a 2-pack with the Splatters Embossing Folder.

Paper Florist

To begin my floral arrangement, I cut the greenery, and stems for the buds, from Fresh As A Daisy Designer Paper. The buds were cut from Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper, and glued in place.

Second, I cut the petals for three flowers from Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper, and two flowers from Basic White Cardstock. The two flowers were given some Bubble Bath Ink with a Sponge Dauber, and glued together. Before attaching the petals of the three flowers with Dimensionals, I used a Bone Folder to curl the petals. 

Third, I cut the centers from Blackberry Bliss Cardstock, and glued them in place. There are other centers that can mix n’ match, with endless possibilities!

A small sentiment was needed to complete my card, provided by the Wonderful Thoughts Bundle. I stamped “hello” in Blackberry Bliss Ink, used its die for cutting, and  attached it with a Dimensional.

For a touch of sparkle, I gave the White/Bubble Bath flowers centers of Pastel Adhesive Sequins.

I knew I had to have the Paper Florist Dies when I saw the back cover of the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. Don’t overlook this great set!
