This was an Oopsie card! I hadn’t intended it to turn out quite like this but that’s ok right. Sometimes you start out with an idea in your head and something doesn’t quite go to plan. There is an Oopsie! We are crafters. We can pivot and change it up.
I wanted to use the Eyelet Blooms Die that is this month’s Product of the Month. I diecut a panel for the front of the card. But it slipped when I diecut and it went slightly crooked. That wasn’t going to work for the front. I could have diecut it again. And I probably will try that again at another time but why waste this piece.
I was inspired by a card that Stampin’ Up! artists created diecutting a tag shape. So I used the Party Banners Dies and diecut a piece from it and added that to a piece of the Lovely Blossoms Paper. And I stamped the flowers and leaves. Bonus, no colouring the flowers … The lighting is not great but it might give you some ideas.
When you use this die you can use the Take a Pick tool or a piercer to lift the little petals of some of the flowers. You could use a Dauber and add some ink to the edges of the petals to highlight them.
So don’t throw away your Oopsies. See how you can change them. Have you done that before?
Happy Crafting,
