Hello friends! I am back to spotlight another of the new 2020-2021 Catalog bundles. Today's featured bundle is Celebrate Sunflowers. I have crafted three very different cards with the bundle to introduce you to different ways you may choose to use this set. Note: I have not scrapbooked with this set yet, but it WILL happen soon!
This first card was created using very traditional stamp and die cut layers. I stamped the sunflower image onto Whisper White cardstock and cut out the image with the outline die. I used the petaled sunflower die to cut the So Saffron cardstock, and glued that over the stamped sunflower.
The sunflower is paired with a couple of stamped and cut leaves, a sentiment, and ribbon on a "planter" I created. The entire scene is matted onto blue and white tile designer series paper from the In Good Taste suite. The base card is Misty Moonlight, one of our new In Colors.

My Pretty Peacock and gold card was so easy to make, yet makes a big visual impact. I stamped Versa ink onto the front of the Pretty Peacock cardstock card base, and used gold embossing powder to heat emboss the sunflower images and the card sentiment. I used the petaled sunflower die and cut the gold foil sunflower. I cut a rectangle of gold foil to frame the die cut sentiment tag. The card was assembled with glue and small stampin' dimensionals.
This third card was created using a different technique entirely. I used very thin magnet material and cut it out with the petaled sunflower die. I confess that I ran the die and magnet sheet through the cutter several times. After weeding the negative areas in the die cut, I applied So Saffron ink to the magnet material sunflower. I placed Whisper White cardstock over the ink and ran the layers through the die cut machine. This creates a faux Letter Press technique, where the image and ink are indented in the paper.
To assemble the card I began with the Bumblebee color card and envelope from the Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Cards & Envelopes set. This set includes ten cards, two each in the the new In Colors, along with matching envelopes. I cut a black cardstock matting, then I cut the letter pressed sunflower to fit off center over the black matting. I stamped a sentiment, added a strip of In Color designer series paper, and a bow. I finished the card with two gold gems.

I hope this mini tutorial was helpful to you. Below you will find links to my online store for many of the products I used to create these three cards.
