This True Beauty Floral Lattice Card came from finding scraps on my table! I could tell you how I was busy stamping and die-cutting a whole bunch of flowers and leaves for this card, but all I did was try to clean up a little messy pile on my table and I thought I should go ahead and make a card right that minute! I suppose one time when I made another True Beauty card, I may have stamped many flowers and cut them but only used enough for that one card. Maybe it was THIS CARD. I don’t really know! But it was fun making a card from scraps! If you have a pile of any kind of scraps, see what you can make!
This card is made with the True Beauty Bundle in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. If you want both the True Beauty Stamp Set and the Organic Beauty Dies, you can purchase the Bundle and save 10%. With this stamp set, I would say you probably DO want the Bundle because you get this really nice lattice die to use for a background,
The card base is So Saffron with a background layer of Gold Foil die cut with the lattice die in the Organic Beauty Dies. The flowers were all stamped in various colors and die cut along with the greenery. Some of my greenery is from another die set(s). It would be good to use Adhesive Sheets on the back of the Gold Foil before die-cutting so you don’t need to apply glue.
I just placed some flowers and leaves around on the card front. Some are adhered flat and some are popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. When doing a project like this, don’t put glue or Dimensionals everywhere on the back of what you are gluing. You want to have some space to be able to slide another flower partially under another or slip some leaves underneath the flowers.
I added some Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to the flower centers. I chose not to put a greeting on the front of this card. For one thing, the card front is pretty full as it is, but also, I kind of like it for just a pretty card that I can write a note inside without any specific greeting. Or I can wait until I use the card and add an appropriate greeting.
A way to get those Iridescent Pearls FREE is to purchase one of the Bundles that are going to be used on World Card Making Day October 1st! If you would like to join the Stampin’ Up!
