Dimensional Floral Birthday Card

I created this card for my Mum for her birthday using an assortment of docrafts products, focusing especially on the Xcut dies 'Flowers' (XCU 503195) and the 'Rectangular Parenthesis 2' (XCU 503045) designs. The papers used for the design are a  mix of two of the April Creativity Club printables 'Daisies' which I designed for docrafts.
 

 

You could create this card for any occasion, simply change the sentiment and lettering.

 

 

I love making dimensional, layered projects so the Xcut flower and leaf dies were perfect. I only had a Little Venice Cake Company modelling mat and ball tool to hand so I used these to curl the petals and create vein effects on the leaves.

 

 

I also adore making quilled paper roses - you can find a great tutorial for these here on

Nikki Smith's blog 'What Nikki Did Next'.

 

 

Thank you for looking!

#docraftsmonday Quilled Rose Vase Card

Well, it's Monday and I have had a little time to breath after a completely manic week and weekend, so here goes, my #docraftsmonday offering for today!

 

I adore dimensional makes, whether it's card or cake, and so I decided to go for it with this Mother's Day card using lots of layers made from Xcut die-cuts and quilled roses...

You can find a fab tutorial for making quilled roses on Nikki Smith's

'What Nikki Did Next blog here! I used 4cm and 6cm circle dies to make mine.

 

The vase was made using 3 of the Xcut  Leaves Nesting Dies (XCU 503401) with the base trimmed off. The background squares were the second and third largest Square Parethesis Nesting Dies (XCU 503401), the swirls were a selection of the Floral Flourishes dies (XCU 503188).

 

 The roses were made with a mix of Papermania Cardstock and docrafts Creativity Club printables and finally, the daisies were made using the Xcut Palm Punch! Add lots of antiquing with dark brown dies in and you are pretty much there!

 

Thank you for looking!
