Some FlowerSoft Christmas Cards

Part of the FlowerSoft card toppers from Brandy's stash included these lovely street lanterns.  I filled in the FlowerSoft portions and they just screamed Christmas to me.  Scrapbook.com had this lovely plaid patterned paper from Ella and Viv.  They are sold out now, I'm sure because everyone else thought the paper perfect too.  The red and yellow compliment the image perfectly.  Additionally, I had some of these odd shaped envelopes - from my Grandma's stash which we've been going through since her passing.  All married together for a great set that is perfect for the holidays. 

These will go into the stash to be used in my Christmas cards this year.  I'm ever so lucky to have a bestie like Brandy with a stash so large she'll gift me these wonderful supplies!

A Viking Pop Up Card

I am sharing this hearty, fierce pop-up card with you today.  Brandy made this card using her Pink and Main Norse Day stamp set.  She colored the images and then fussy cut them out, perching them on the pop-up card to great effect.  The top Viking is perched on the mast - as daring a Viking as may be.

The sentiment is just right, anchoring the card base and sending a wonderful thought for a birthday wish.  Join me in cheering Brandy on her card making skills.

FlowerSoft - In Purple!

Some more of the FlowerSoft card toppers.  This time I used some purple vellum to create a backdrop for the sentiment raised using foam sheets.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.  I'm feeling particularly grateful for all the many blessing which fill my life.  Hoping you are too.

More FlowerSoft Cards

Popping in today just before turkey day to share some more of the FlowerSoft cards that I made from Brandy's card toppers.  Same technique as before - using colored cardstock card bases and some foam sheets to pop the sentiment ovals up off the card. 

The FlowerSoft technique followed the same method as this video.  This is an old technique, but the result is still quick stunning.

These cards will go together into the stash because they would make a great card set to give away. Green being my favorite color, I just love the result.

FlowerSoft Cards - Years Later

Brandy and I have been diligently digging through our stashes, weeding out supplies and giving them to good causes or offering them to each other.  I couldn't see giving a box of Flowersoft kits away without an attempt at using them.  I used this technique to make these cards from the card toppers that were included in the kit.

The sentiment oval was fussy cut and raised using foam sheets to create a unique shape.  The pink seam binding ribbon was also a part of the kit.

The card base is from a colored cardstock card base.

These cards were a snap to put together.  I intend to keep working with these supplies until I use the card toppers that were included.  That would give me quick a pile of cards, but mostly the satisfaction of using something so pretty from the stash - even if it is from Brandy's stash!
