More on Monday - Pressed Petals cards #5 with Round Up...

 

So I made 6 cards with the "card topper" piece of Pressed Petals paper... and here is the last one...

There were more toppers to use to create more... but then "life got in the way"... so I had to quickly put it everything away... which was a shame as I was really enjoying making these...

But I hope that these give you some ideas as to what to do with your papers....

And here are the 4 cards using the Sorry for Everything stamp set...

So you can get a better idea of some of the sentiments included...

Though these were my favourite cards with the suite... click on the pictures to go straight there... with the Card Fold Tutorial being on the green Get Well Soon one!

Daisy Lane Pressed Petals Sorry for Everything #4 ...

Back to the Pressed Petals suite and the simple "card topper " cards series I began to post the other week....

Click here for more cards from my series... and here for all the details on the Pressed Petals suite...

This one being finished off with Daffodil Delight and Crumb Cake Daisy Lane daisies... and the large greeting from the Sorry for Everything stamp set...

Tuesday Pressed Petals Two-Fer... #3

Two more for your money with the Pressed Petals papers & suite ... along with the Sorry For Everything stamp set... which I have just been re-united with!

A great stamp set to say those things that are difficult to say... and that just need adding to a card when you need it... rather than being pre-made and put in a box ready to go!!

Though I have to admit that I definitely prefer to have them made and ready for when I need them... but I seem to be on my own in that regard! How about you?

And a round up shot of the cards in the series so far for you too!

Both these cards are larger than usual... as that was just the way they worked out as I trimmed them to size based upon the paper panels as they come...

And they are both different sizes... but in hindsight I would use the same size Merry Merlot card blank.... and trim my pre-prepared panel to suit! Life is so much easier that way!

So I started to re-calculate... but then I realised that I didn't even have any envelopes that I could pop these into... as C5s are too large and 5x7"s are too small...

Though I do have some 16cm Square (6 5/16") envelopes that would actually fit the shorter (wood background) card in... in a fashion!

So sorry (as the stamp set says!)... no time for a total re-design this week... so I have to quickly move on... and I will just have to remember to make up a bespoke envelope when the time comes!! 

But... for your information...  both cards are 14cm/5 1/2" wide... the taller at 6 3/4"(script background) and the shorter at 6 1/4" (wood background)

And being honest... me being me... I would re-make to a 14cm/5 1/2" Square card if I was starting from scratch! Especially the wood background one... which would then just be the same as the recipe shared here... 

More Pressed Petals on Monday... #2

Following on with my #simplestamping little Pressed Petals series...  here's another of the pre-decorated card panels quickly made up into a card...

Using wood on wood this time... as the paper pack does have some lovely background papers to set off these panels...

Cad and mat details the same as this earlier card in the series... but with 10.5 x 13.5cm (4 1/8" x 5 5/16") flowery and 3.5 x 13.5cm (1 3/8" x 5 5/16") wood paper panels this time

And finished off with a Merry Merlot Butterfly Wishes small punched butterfly...

Pressed Petals Keeping It Simple.. #1

After creating the 2 Pop Up Cards shared here (with Tutorial) and here...

I thought it time to do something with those ready made panels I had carefully trimmed when I opened the paper pack... See the sheet to the left hand side in the photo below...

A few minutes later and the first card was made... proving that these panels are just the thing to have to hand when you are in a rush for a card... or indeed a handmade gift... or packaging... as they are kind of a card topper... decorated and ready to go...

Large Square card (14cm Square or 5 1/2" Square) with 9cm (3 9/16") Very Vanilla mat... for the  3 1/2"/8.9cm cut panel... With side paper panels 6.7cm x 13.5cm (2 5/8" x 5 5/16")

Greetings from Magnolia Blooms  - white embossed in centre... Mossy Meadow around the edges...

Finished off with a doubled small Linen Thread bow...
