3 Sunflower Birthday Card

I can't seem to get enough of the Sweet Treats cartridge! I was poking around the cartridge in Design Studio and came across a flower that looked like a sunflower. I remembered I had some sunflower paper left and decided to use it to make a birthday card. Of course it was going to be a simple fast card.......yeah right! *okie often fools herself into thinking things will be fast and simple* I decided to sew, then my sewing machine started messing up. I spent over an hour looking for the manual so I could oil the machine, and never did find it! I oiled it as best as I could remember so I could at least finish the card. I had planned on sewing the ribbon on but that didn't happen *okie sighs and rolls eyes*.

The 3 SUNFLOWER BIRTHDAY card is made with the Sweet Treats cartridge. The cut file is set to cut 4 cards at a time. The card I made is a 5.5" x 5.5" square. I bet you guys haven't noticed I have been into doing square cards lately! HA HA HA *okie just totally cracks herself up*

I used Prism and Bazzill cardstock and the printed paper is by Pinecone Press. The flowers are done with the Cuttlebug folders Swiss Dots on the petals and D'Vine Swirls on the centers.

The center flower and sentiment are pop dotted. I looped 3/8" grosgrain ribbon for the leaves and also used it for the stems.

Until next time...have a SWEET TREAT DAY! *okie falls out her chair laughin at her own corniness*

  1. that is just so beautifully detailed!!! every component of this design was so thoughtfully enhanced...from the stitching, embossing (love the swirl centre), the pen work, inking, popping, ribboning (okie knows what i mean) to the colour choices! how different this card would look without the extra design work! from a piece of paper grew a masterpiece!!! ...and i don't even like flowers especially sunflowers as they were a fav of a boss who decorated everything with them!
