Clean and Simple with Build a Blossom

At our January club meeting, we played with the new Build a Blossom stamp set and Blossom Petals Punch, both on page 12 of the Occasions Mini Catalog.  This stamp set and punch make for quick and beautiful cards.  We used our bone folders to slightly curl each petal for texture, then to anchor our flower petals, we used a 1 1/4" circle punched out of the same color cardstock as the petals.  For the flower centers, we used the Fabric Designer Brads available as part of the Oh Sew Suite family of products in the Occasions mini.  These brads, available on page 36, are really nice and just the right size for using as a flower center with the Build a Blossom set.  The leaves were also punched out using the Blossom Petals Punch.  Quick, clean, simple, lovely.

Supplies used on these cards:
Stamp sets:  Build a Blossom, Curly Cute
Card stock:  Crumb Cake, Pink Pirouette, Wild Wasabi
Ink:  Regal Rose, Old Olive
Accessories:  Fabric Designer Brads
Tools:  Blossom Petals punch, 1 1/4" Circle punch, paper piercer, bone folder.
