Crafters Unite Against Racism

Hello! Today I am a part of a blog hop for Papercrafters Unite Against Racism. My projects today are some of my favorite flower layering stamps, with the idea that I could maybe make you smile. I’d love to send flowers to those of you who are angry, sad, upset, or discouraged during this time.

Sometimes, as crafters, we don’t know exactly the right thing to say or do. My heart hurts and I’m so sensitive to this topic, but I also don’t want to say the wrong thing. So, these flowers are hopefully doing the job making you smile today.

While I financially cannot send flowers to everyone, at least I can create some floral cards to share! So I have some layered snapdragon cards (some of my favorite flowers!) using patterned paper.

I love these patterned paper ideas! I have a quick video on how to make these cards, with three ideas for using patterned paper! And I share how to easily layer these snapdragons for mass production. Watch the video below, or in HD on YouTube:

For this first card I used patterned paper as the shadow layer on this die from PinkFresh Studio. I love the variation in color. I made a simple background using ink blending and an embossing folder to get an interesting look.

For the second card, I simply used a black and white background paper as the base to showcase a beautiful, colorful bouquet!

And the last card uses some heat embossing directly on patterned paper to create a pink delicious card.

Since I love yellow snapdragons, I also made a project for my craft studio with these (pictured below..the shadow box frame)! AND I have plenty of flowers to still use on cards!! Be sure to check out the video for my tips on mass producing these flowers.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards, so I’ve made a list here using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

Which card is your favorite? Leave me a message below.
