Hi, friends!
Back today, as promised, with several more cards to hopefully give you some more inspiration with this new Nature Lovers Collection, releasing today at The Greetery, at 10am EST!
Until then, I've got cards to tell you about (seen above!)! Aren't photos of cards all together in a group, just so fun to see? Maybe it's just me but I love photos like that! Haha!
Anyhoo, let's chat about this first card! I kept the bones of it suuuuuper simple, because I wanted all the detail in those little flowers to shine! This way, they're immediately what your eye is drawn to!
Would you believe those little black and white flowers are the new BotaniCuts: Forget-me-not?! Talk about easy! Die cut them from all white, and then die cut them from a second color -- in this case, black -- so you've got your little stars colored for you and that's it! Glue the blooms together and you're done!
Of course, if you want to be a bit extra, you can add a few enamel dots like I did here! ;)
I love these two colors together.
PRO TIP: Don't forget that you can use just one portion of your die, if you don't want to cut out the whole thing!! I created that pink panel with the boho banner die, but I only ran it through the die cutting machine part way, so it cut out that pretty point and part of the sides, and then I backed it up out of the machine. Then, I just finished trimming the sides on my paper cutter. That way, instead of cutting out the whole (smaller) banner, I was able to make a longer panel.
The sentiments are both from the new Lovely Blossoms set. I just love that pretty "sent with love".

Ok, so I used more of the same elements from above, if you can believe it! But gosh, isn't this a vastly different card than the previous one?!!
The floral cluster contains a couple of the large bloom stems from Lovely Blossoms, as well as more BotaniCuts: Forget-me-nots!
In this case, I die cut the forget-me-nots from white card stock, another set from green and another set from the pinky color! I used petals from the pinky pile and star centers from the white pile. I glued those together to create the flowers and then glued them onto green stems! Easy peasy!
Literally no coloring required! I know some of you aren't into coloring at all, so hopefully this gives you some more ideas for ways you can use these dies!

One more for today....
For this one, I couldn't resist using all of the sentiment components from the Love Is stamp set, stamped out in the order they're found in the Bible verse in 1 Corinthians!
I used the new Shapely Hearts dies to cut out the white hearts and then topped them with blooms and leaves from Lovely Blossoms.
PRO TIP: Even though I wanted some elements from Lovely Blossoms on each of the hearts, I only put flowers on the largest, center heart, allowing it to really take the spotlight! By just adding leaves to the hearts on either side, it lets them be supporting characters and the large heart gets to be the star of the show.
PRO TIP: Lay out your focal point (in this case, the hearts) where you want them before you start stamping, so you can get an eye for how far up to stamp your sentiment!
