Thanks for visiting my blog. As the title suggests, I love to scrapbook, stamp, and sing! I will share cards and scrapbook pages I create, as well as information about my music - Barbershop harmony.

A Trio of Nordic Flower Pots

Hey everyone - it's my day to provide inspiration for the June Die Cut Diva Color Challenge! You can see today's Diva post here which includes the required color palette.  Below you'll see all the card details plus a bonus.


Supplies: Paper - Recollections Coffee & Cream;
Momenta Gemstones; scraps
Dies - Poppystamps Nordic Flower Pots and Stems
Teardrop Butterflies (retired but still HERE at Frantic Stamper) 
Other - Altenew enamel dots

Our sponsor is Poppystamps who has generously offered a $20 gift card for our randomly selected June winner.


I formed an A2 card from brown card stock that I thought resembled the brown in the palette photo. I cut the Nordic flower pots and leaves from the same brown & assembled. Added die cut flowers. Die cut the cover plate from the light taupe/cream color, trimmed a bit off and added to the card. 

Next I die cut an oval and trimmed off the bottom to make a little hill for my pots. Arranged them on the card and let one tip over. Die cut three butterflies and added them to the card with some enamel dots for the bodies. I left off the sentiment since I wasn't sure how I'd use this card yet.

Since my Nordic pots and flowers are newly used, I'll add my card to Darnell's June NBUS #75.

Ready for a bonus? I'd already started making a card with the Majestic Bloom set when I realized it wasn't available at Poppystamps anymore. Decided to use it for my bonus card since it can still be found HERE at Frantic Stamper! Still used the color palette, this time I included the medium peachy color too (from MFT's Colorful Canvas paper pad).


Simple die cutting and assembly then I added a printed sentiment strip from the stash. I doubled the leaves and curled the added layer for dimension.

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!
