February 2022 Flowers & Swirls Stand alone Dies
Branched & Dainty Romantic Card

I used a bunch of scraps to make this card. As a result this wedding card worked up really quickly. I had fussy cuts of the washi tape floral motifs and the watercolor background background. I simply filled my card with the Dainty Leaves images and a Mega Ampersand die cut.
How To Make This Card
- Make an A2 panel of the Peach Gold Washi Tape background.
- Fussy cut a few flower and leaf motifs from the Glitter Flurries Wide Washi Tape.
- Arrange the floral images around the Mega Ampersand Die and gold die cuts of the Dainty Leaves.
- Add a coordinating sentiment from Sentiment Strips Stamp Set.

Wild & Free Feathered Card

I could not pass up this large illustration. I had to use the entire image and wanted it to command attention on the front of my card. I kept this palette white and gold for some sophisticated and romantic vibes.
How To Make This Card
- The background base is a full shaker card front. The background image comes from the Splatter Hot Foil Plate. The sequins come from the Make A Statement Sequin Bundle.
- Die cut the outline images from the Wispy Feathered Die Set in a gold cardstock. Stack die cuts for dimension.
- Use an acetate friendly adhesive to glue the stacked die cut feathered images to the full shaker card front. I used Glossy Accents.
- Fussy cut a gold heat embossed sentiment from Wild & Free Stamp Set.

Blushing Anemone Layering Die Card

Lately, I have been loving partially gluing down layered floral dies. I find that it photographs better and adds realistic shadows to the flower. White Anemones with dark centers are always eye-catching; I let the flowers speak for themselves on my floral card.
How To Make This Card
- Use Jet Black Ink Spray to add splatters on an A2 panel of Spicy Yogurt Cardstock. Glue to your folded note card base.
- Die cut the petal images from Grand Anemone Die Set from white cardstock. Make a blush center gradient on the centers of the die cuts.
- Die cut the flower center images from black cardstock. Add gold watercolor details to the perimeter of the die cut layers.
- Adhere the flower layers only on the center with a strong adhesive. I used Glossy Accents. Gently curl the flower die cut layers for dimension.
- Die cut and layer the leaf images. I used scrap panels of green cardstock, varying the layer order for dimension.
- White heat emboss a Hello sentiment on gold cardstock for an eye-catching sentiment strip.

The feather cards made me look twice! At first I thought it was a large leaf die! It could be in the autumn if dine in orange, yellows and reds!
I love the beauty of your flowers on the second card. It could be used for any occasion! Wedding, birthday, sympathy…anything! I think they are very dramatic!
