Just Because with Simple Florals!

Ironically, the ‘Just Because’ card I chose to highlight this week uses the same Stamp Set I used last week. I don’t think I could’ve planned that even if I tried – lol.

Featured on page 27 of the July/August 2020 Seasonal Idea Book, this card is super simple to make and I even made a couple of slight adjustments to fit my needs.

Basic Directions:

Cut and assemble the background pieces. Cut and stamp the Floral pieces.

Stamp on the White Daisy background using Almond Ink. Assemble the Floral cluster next. I used 3D Foam Tape to attach the Flowers but not the Leaves.

Stamp with White Daisy Ink and Heat Set.

The directions actually call for Embossing the sentiment but I chose to keep it super simple for now.

Attach the Silver Thread using a Glue Dot under the Flowers. Wrap some more thread around the Dovetailed piece approximately 7x before knotting. I attached this piece using 3D Foam Tape.

Attach the Sparkles to the Flower centers and that’s it!

I have decided that this is one of my favorite Stamp Sets. I may take the time to create several more of these using different colors. So fun! I’d love to see what you do with this set, too!
