Fancy Fan and Flowers

Who doesn't love a pretty flower?  We just couldn't resist sharing this sweet gem of a card with our stampers.  It is especially fun to see them giving the new Flower Shop stamp set and Pansy Punch a really good workout!

Flower Shop Fun Card

This is a card that couldn't be easier, but you would never know it by looking. What a beauty with a minimum of effort!  Our good old standby, Whisper White Card Stock gets "cornered" with the 3/16" Corner Rounder and topped off with a Fancy Fan dry embossed strip of Rose Red punched out with a 2 1/2" Circle Punch.  We've seen this technique done with a large oval as well--whatever strikes your fancy!  The centerpiece is the Flower Shop flower stamped in Rose Red, punched with the Pansy Punch, and popped up in its own little space with a Dimensional. The pansy punching is a little tricky, but we got some help to eliminate the frustration on You Tube.  Check out the super alignment tips at:

Looks like a picture straight from our summer garden!  All papers, inks, and accessories used in this card are from Stampin’ Up! ©
