Floral shutter cards

Good Morning all.  
Sorry I missed Saturdays upload, was down with a major migraine and then we lost electricity so made for a weekend best spent under the covers😞


So today im sharing 3 shutter cards ive made, all flower power as its always one of my favourite to make.   I was sent the shutter card blanks from a good friend and the mats, so the fun was finding stuff in my own stash to go with them. 




Navy card blank, beautiful navy and blue pattern paper from poundland, matted onto kraft card.  I found the peach/salmon paper in my stash which seemed to go well and brighten up the colour.  Die cut with Sue Wilson cornflower dies, i inked the edges, glued together and once dry fluffed up the petals to add dimension.  Tattered lace fern cut in pale blue card. Gem centres to finish.

So for this one, grey cardblank and the lovely grey/orange/turquoise check paper came with them, flowers die cut from various matching paper and white card, sizzix dies, little butterflies, grey pearl card used for the foliage.

Get well shutter.  So for this one the purple card was in the box and i found the pink pattern paper in my stash which matched well and toned in, matted onto white to break up the colour.  Flowers cut in white and inked with blue, blue pearl centres. Butterflies.  Foliage cut in mint green which matches the background of the paper. 

Close up.

Flower power birthday cards

Good Morning all, beautiful sunny morning down here.

So today a complete change from the baby cards, a full on flower cards i made for DC buddies birthdays in December.  Sorry its those curved border dies again, i was on a roll with them at the time.





So for this first one i kept the back of the card in tact and covered with patterned paper, i then die cut the front of the card with the spellbinders curved border dies. Happy birthday die matted onto paper to match the background, die cut leaves and ready made roses.


Showing the card closed with the background paper showing through.




This second one i made for the amazing Samsweep and is similar to some uploaded before which she loved, especially the one for Lizzy's birthday (link below if you fancy a peek at that one), different for me i went with more muted colours, the ready made carnations were white and i just edged with peach ink.  I do love how the light shows through the die cut detail.


Papers used on both cards is 'Zephyr' by prima

also a link back to one i made with these dies back in 2014 for anyone who is interested


Thank you for looking and all your amazing comments this week.  I hope you all have a lovely weekend and keep warm. Hugs Emma x
