Magnolia Flower Birthday Card

Elaine Greenwood - Canadian Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Good Morning everyone, yesterday I took time to create a flower for my card using the Magnolia Memory Dies.  These flowers are very easy to make, maybe not so good on cards (for mailing purposes) but they would be great to use as embellishments on boxes and gift bags.

Here is a link to a video from Stampin' Up! showing how you can create the flowers.  I didn't use the Hot Air Balloon Punch as I wanted my flowers to be smaller.

Here is how I created my card:

• Thick Whisper White cardstock cut at 8 ½ x 5 ½ scored at 4 ¼.
• Using two sizes of the Stitched Rectangles Dies diecut a frame from Blackberry Bliss cardstock.
• Cut a piece of the Perennial Essence DSP a little larger than the inside of the frame and adhere it to the back of the frame.
• Using the Magnolia Memory Dies, diecut the three flower dies from Whisper White cardstock, four leaves from Mossy Meadow cardstock and the small stamen from So Saffron cardstock.
• Sponge the edges and centres of the three flower dies using a sponge dauber and Rococo Rose Ink.  Gently shape the petals of the flowers with a bone folder and then adhere them together with multi purpose liquid glue.  Attach the stamen to the centre and then add a Gold Faceted Gem.
• Using the die from the Detailed Bands Dies cut out two, one from Rococo Rose cardstock and the other from Whisper White cardstock.  On the Whisper White centre piece, stamp the sentiment from the Floral Essence stamp set in Rococo Rose Ink.
• Attach the band to the card using multi purpose glue and then insert the Whisper White sentiment in the centre.

I hope you enjoyed my card today and that you will make some of these flowers yourself.  I must say that I don't do very good at taking pictures; this card looks much better in person.
