Hello there crafty friends! I am super excited to once again be joining Simon Says Stamp in a blog hop to celebrate their newest release - Dream Big. You can shop the new release now! You should have arrived here from the blog of the amazingly talented Bibi Cameron
Before I share my card with you today, I want to point out the special code in the graphic above BIGHUGS that will give you a FREE Scripty Big Hugs die with any purchase (while supplies last) - good until 7/24 at 11:59 pm EDT.
Today I have used the new Fab Floral Plate die and the Be You Sentiment strips to make 3 cards with different looks. I hope there is something you like here :) See supply list at the bottom of this post for stamps, dies and colors.
For the first card, I cut the Fab Floral Plate from white card stock and then cut it again from several colors of Simon Says Stamp card stock. I backed the white cutout with Sookwang double sided tape then inlaid all the small pieces color by color. Once the pieces were adhered I put the panel onto a card base. I added a gemstone to the center of each flower shape then added the sentiment strip.
For the second card, I cut the Fab Floral Plate from black card stock and then added a piece of watercolor card stock underneath that I had colored with Lindy's Magicals and added a Be You Sentiment strip - super easy and all the colors make it look super festive.
This last one was a labor of love. I cut the Fab Floral Plate from a piece of multicolored cardstock and then foam taped each tiny little piece to the card where I had added a white die cute of the plate to the card base to use as a guide. Once I carefully adhered each piece, I added a the Floral Stem die cut and a Be You Sentiment strip to complete my card.

Stunning card. I love the color and dimension!
Posted by: Laura Morales | July 22, 2022 at 02:54 PM
Love the last card with all of the dimension. Can't wait for my plate to arrive so I can play! I'm thinking that some foam-stock (like from Spellbinders) might be kind of cool to CASE your idea.
Posted by: Susan Woollcott | July 22, 2022 at 03:01 PM
Amazingly beautiful cards!
Posted by: angie veneziale | July 22, 2022 at 03:12 PM
Fantastic cards! I love how you used the insides of the flower spaces from the cover plates too. Great job!
Posted by: Trudy Lanoux | July 22, 2022 at 03:54 PM
haha-yes! This is what I want to do with the cover plate. I thought it would look cool with tie dye paper; but yours looks like tile inlay or even crystal! Fun stuff.
Posted by: roxanne tellini | July 22, 2022 at 04:11 PM
Well shoot! I love what you did with that cover plate which I did not order (yet)! Perhaps in my next order! These are all very unique and very pretty!

Posted by: Lauryne Cunningham | July 22, 2022 at 05:07 PM
Sadly the fab floral plate is already out of stock, so can't order it now and will miss the big hugs die! I'm really attracted to it by all the ways you've used it!

Hi Cheiron. The pink/purple card with the white outline flowers on top is my favourite. As I mentioned on your IG page, I would never had considered this die set until you wove your magical rainbow wand across and created a beautiful card. ā„ļøā„ļøā„ļø

Hi, Cheiron -
When I saw the Fab Floral coverplate die, I knew it would be, well, FAB, right away. I ordered it immediately. I wonder if it has sold out yet. You're doing your part to make it sell out (š) with your awesome cards! Love all of them!!
Thanks for participating in the hop so that we all get lots of cool ideas!

Oh my goodness, what lovely inlay work and use of the negative die cut as well. Your last card boggles the mind but came out so beautifully.
Posted by: karenladd | July 25, 2022 at 01:48 AM
Great cards. I like how you used the fall-outs as a card background, even though popping them all up was a bit of work. It looks great. Also, the one with a product that looks comparable to Pixie Sparkles is a good idea. Thanks!
