Floral Teacup

Hi crafty friends! It’s Michelle Woerner and I am super excited to be  guest designing with Pretty Pink Posh this month! Today I’m sharing a fun floral teacup card using the new Teacup Shaker, Spring Floral and Floral Wreath Builder die sets and sentiment from the Hummingbird Floral stamp set.

Before I start my floral cards, I always choose my color palette and die cut all the flowers, stems and leaves in the die set with all my colors. I love having lots of color options when I start assembling my blooms. Next, I lightly inked the flowers from the centers outward to create some depth. I wanted some sparkle, so I die cut the flower centers from glitter cardstock and inked them with yellow ink. This adds sparkle to the card without adding bulky gems, making it easier to mail.

I die cut my teacup with white cardstock and stamped the sentiment using navy blue ink. I wanted the teacup and florals to really pop, so I die cut the background with light gray cardstock using the Scallops Pierced Plate and adhered it to a white card base. I love how the white from the card base shows through the pierced scallops giving it a soft look. Next, I adhered the teacup using foam squares. Then came the fun part, I arranged the flowers and foliage coming out of and around the teacup until I had an arrangement I loved. 

Designer Tip: To create some depth with a flower arrangement, try adhering some flowers and foliage directly onto the panel and others with 1mm and 2mm foam squares. This is a simple trick that can really give a lot of extra dimension.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check back tomorrow for some more inspiration from the team!
