Pop-Up Posies

The Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit (#131395) provides pre-cut paper flowers, embossed paper tags, fabric covered brads, thick Vanilla Baker's Twine and the Just for you wood-mount stamp. Everything you need to create beautiful card fronts or decorate gifts. Here are two cards I made. Sign-up for my newsletter on the right to see a third card.

These cards feature the Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper and the Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack which you can earn FREE with purchase during Sale-a-bration. On the Calypso Coral/Indigo Island card above I used a Large Pearl Basic Jewel (#125577) in the center of the flower. On the Pool Party/Rich Razzleberry card below, I colored a Vanilla flower from the 5/8" Flower Trim (#126869) with Pool Party ink.
