One of the first things I purchased from the Annual Catalog was the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper and the coordinating Pressed Petals Specialty Washi Tape. For some reason, these two items didn't get used at my events. That is, until this month. After the first snowfall in Minnesota (way too early), I needed to create a floral card.
This 34 second video shows you the beautiful Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper.
I decided to make a double easel card and used three different pieces of the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper.
This card isn't that difficult to make. If I can do it (the lover of simple cards), you can too!
This card loves to be on display. It is definitely a show-off card that wants to be seen.
Directions:
Card Base: 4 1/4" x 11" Very Vanilla Cardstock, scored at 5 1/2".
First Layer: 4" x 10 1/4" Rococo Rose Cardstock, scored at 5 1/4" and 7 3/4". This is the Easel part of the card.
Second Layers: One 3 3/4" x 5" and two 2 1/4" x 3 3/4" from the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Now that your card is put together, it is time for the most fun ever! You get to make a flower.
The petals are sticky. Using the Embossing Buddy removes the stickiness. If you didn't use the Embossing Buddy, the petals would stick flat to the cardstock and they wouldn't look real.

Do you like leftovers? Not food leftovers, but papercrafting leftovers. A few weeks ago, I posted this card on my blog. I had a few leftovers from that card and decided to re-use some of them for today's card. The Soft Sea Foam card base and the Stitched Nested Labels Die are the two leftovers that I paired with Whisper White Cardstock and Gold Foil Sheets.
The two oval dies (scalloped Oval Layering and Stitched Shapes) fit perfectly on the Stitched Nested Labels Die. I used the small oak leaf from the Nature's Roots Dies, to cutout the center of the Gold Foil oval.
Directions:
Card Base: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Soft Sea Foam Cardstock, scored at 4 1/4".
First Layer: 4" x 5 1/4" Whisper White Cardstock. Place inside the Eyelet Lace Embossing Folder and put through a Die Cutting Machine. Wrap about a 4 1/2" piece of the 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon around the middle and secure on the back with Glue Dots.
Second Layer: Place a Stitched Nested Labels Die on a scrap of Soft Sea Foam Cardstock and put through a Die Cutting Machine. Attach to the First Layer with Dimensionals.
Third Layer: Place a scalloped Oval Layering Die on a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock and put through a Die Cutting Machine. Attach to the Second Layer.
Fourth Layer: Place an oval Stitched Shapes Die on a scrap of Gold Foil Paper and the small oak leaf from the Nature's Roots Dies inside the oval. It helps to use Washi Tape or a Post-It Note to hold them in place. Put them through a Die Cutting Machine. Attach to the Third Layer.
The final touches are:
This card has a nice blend of ovals and circles to soften the sharp ends of the Stitched Nested Labels Die, plus I love the stitching look on the dies. It is one of those subtle features that change the look of a project.

November is a month focused on gratitude. I am truly grateful for your continued support and our friendship, which was created out of our love of papercrafting! Have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend!
