My Favorite Things - Sending Sunflowers Card Kit Release

I am happy to say that the Sending Sunflowers Card Kit is now available for purchase at MFT Stamps.   If you missed my card from yesterday using the kit please keep scrolling after this post and you will arrive at that one.

Products used:-

Falling For Houndstooth 6 x 6 Paper Pad

Farmhouse Foundations Die-namics

Sunflower Wreath Die-namics

Thoughtful Greetings Die-namics

This kit is great for using up your little odds and ends of cardstock that you've put by and that is what I did.   I die cut using offcuts from MFT's fabulous prestige cardstock and created copious amounts of sunflowers and greenery.   I also had scraps for the watering can, vase and barrel planter and so I die cut everything and glued them together.

I made an arrangement of sunflowers and greenery in each receptacle and glued as I went along.  Once done I adhered the vase arrangement directly to a houndstooth panel and the watering can and barrel were popped up on dimensional foam tape.

I chose the thank you sentiment from the sentiment set because you can never have too many thank you cards on hand.  It was stamped on a sentiment strip and I applied that with foam tape too.

I like my cards to feel substantial and so the houndstooth panel was backed with a panel of white craft foam and then glued to an A2 white panel and then to the card base.

My Favorite Things - August Card Kit - Countdown Day 1

I'm excited to be sharing my first card for this beautiful Sending Sunflowers Card Kit which you can purchase tomorrow May 23rd at 10am.

Here are the products I have used from the kit:-

Sunflower Wreath Die-namics

Farmhouse Foundations Die-namics

Thoughtful Greetings Stamps

Falling For Houndstooth 6 x 6 Paper Pad

This is a 5 1/2 inch square card.  I created a white panel with those dimensions then a smaller panel using the Houndstooth paper pad, one more panel of prestige cardstock and then the final one I would make my feature panel.

I used Distress Oxide Ink in Speckled Egg to create a soft focal point and then stamped the sentiment.   I backed this panel with white craft foam and applied it to the green panel.  I set this to one side whilst I made the wreath.

To make the pretty wreath I used the two sets of die-namics to create all I need for making the foundation of the wreath and the flowers and greenery.  Once I had all the individual flowers assembled I was able to build the wreath.  I just built it as I went along and glued the flowers in place and tucked greenery here and there.   Once it was made I flipped it over and applied thin strips of dimensional foam tape and adhered it to the panel above the sentiment.

A few sparkling clear sequins completed the card elegantly.
