Amazing Paper Grace January Die of the Month Blog Hop

 

Who doesn't smile when they get flowers.  Today we're giving you a way to present a bouquet to whomever your heart desires.  The January Die of the Month is a Pop Up 3D Vignette Bouquet.  It's one of those show stopper pieces that folds down flat to fit into an envelope but it's right at home living on a desk.

 

Even if 3D is not your thing, these beauties can also be used on flat cards and just in time for Valentine's Day.  A bouquet of flowers or a bouquet of hearts - what's your sweetheart getting this year?   Your panel can be decorative, textured or simply a sentiment.  

 

Today I used my dies with some new Valentine papers to create this fun whimsical card to give away.  The patterned papers worked really well with it and the bouquet came out so pretty with the flowers and the roses mixed together.  There are so many ways you can use this die and you will see today just how fun it is.

 

 

My Project Today:

Here is a closer look of my card.  I thought it would be fun to do a card where the beautiful bouquet is centered on the card but with a bit of a twist.  So i folded the card but then cut out about 2 1/2 inches out of the center and added printed papers to cover both the top and bottom pieces.  To keep the bouquet solid i cut a piece of clear acetate to go between the two front pieces on the back side and then glued on my white basket piece on the front in the center.   

The flowers i created by cutting 1 med. green, 1 pink and 1 smaller pink flower that you get in the set and after gently folding them with tweezers and gluing them together-- i added the matching smaller roses to the centers of each.  You also get another die in this set that has 3 pink hearts so i cut the larger size and filled in the spaces between the flowers with them.  It looks really cute!  And of course the sentiment sticker comes in the paper collection set and i added that with 3 D foam dots so that it would stand out a bit under the flowers.
