I’m so excited to share a couple of projects I made using the new Picot Petite Collection by Becca Feeken from Spellbinders today. The delicate lace-like edge and stylish scrollwork designs in this collection of dies inspired me to create a trio of elegant and dimensional floral cards for a variety of occasions.
EVERYDAY FRIENDSHIP CARD
This first card keeps it a little simple with lots of die-cutting and a touch of stamping. I chose a color scheme that would work for most seasons so that I could send this friendship card any time of year.
- Cut a piece of white cardstock using the Medium Picot Petite Square and two of the Quadrant Inserts from the Filigree Quartet Die Set. Nestle the insert dies as far into the two corners of the square die as possible and run all three dies through your die-cutting machine in one pass.
- Stamp a sentiment from the All Occasion Sentiments Stamp and Die Set into the space in the center of the die-cut between the filigree inserts.
- Cut mint cardstock using two of the Quadrant Rim dies from the Filigree Quartet Die Set and adhere them to the back of the sentiment panel (behind the Quadrant Insert cuts) with liquid glue.
- Die cut flower layers and leaves from pink and mint cardstock using the Cinch and Go Flowers Two Die Set. Shape the flower petals a bit with a ball stylus to give them some dimension.
- Adhere the flower layers together with liquid glue and add a matte yellow enamel dot to the center to finish them off.
- Die cut teal cardstock using the Large Picot Petite Square die.
- Adhere kraft cardstock cut to 5” x 5” to a top-folding white card base measuring 5.25” x 5.25” with tape runner. Pop the teal die-cut panel up on top using foam adhesive.
- Adhere the white die-cut sentiment panel to the center of the card with more foam adhesive.
- Arrange the flowers and leaves around the sentiment and adhere down with strong liquid glue.
AUTUMN THANK YOU CARD
The delicate loop edges in this collection are perfect for ribbon threading, so I stepped this next card up a bit with a pretty satin ribbon edge and a little foiling too. I love the warm autumn feel of this thank you card!
- Cut white cardstock using the Medium Picot Petite Oval die. Starting at the middle of the longer side of the oval, weave ¼-inch golden yellow satin ribbon through the loopy border until you reach your starting point. Tie a small bow to connect the ends.
- Cut copper metallic cardstock with the Small Picot Petite Oval die.
- Apply Copper Glimmer Foil to a piece of white cardstock using the Borders and Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate Set and the Glimmer Hot Foil Machine. Die cut the sentiment out using the Label die from the Bed of Lace Die Set.
- Cut kraft and copper metallic cardstock with the Large Picot Petite Rectangle die. Adhere the kraft die-cut on top of the copper die-cut with tape runner, offsetting just a bit to allow a peak of copper to show through.
- Cut flower layers and leaves out of yellow, orange, and green cardstock using the Cinch and Go Five Die Set. Shape the flower petals with a ball stylus and adhere together with liquid glue. Add a small copper rhinestone to the center of each flower.
- Adhere the layered kraft die-cut to the front of a top-folding white card base measuring 4.75” x 6” with foam adhesive.
- Pop the ribbon-threaded panel up on top in the center of the kraft panel using foam adhesive. Adhere the copper oval and sentiment panels in the center with foam adhesive as well.
- Arrange the flowers and leaves around the sentiment panel and adhere down with strong liquid glue.
SLIMLINE CHRISTMAS CARD
Maybe I just have Christmas on the brain right now, but I couldn’t help but see an ornate tree shape in the beautiful designs of the Bed of Lace Die Set. So, I decided to use them to create a pretty background for this very festive slimline card.
- Trim pieces of white and green cardstock to 8” x 3.5”. Cut the white cardstock with the Decorative Insert dies from the Bed of Lace Die Set, using both in the center of the panel to create the “tree” shape and then each one inverted at the edges of the panel (an upside-down half-“tree” shape).
- Adhere the green panel to the back of the white panel with glue.
- Apply Gold Glimmer Foil to a piece of white cardstock using the Elegant Holiday Glimmer Plate Set and the Glimmer Hot Foil Machine. Die cut the sentiment out using the Label die from the Bed of Lace Die Set. Cut two more Labels out of gold metallic cardstock and adhere them (offset) to the back of the sentiment panel to form a shadow layer.
- Apply Gold Glimmer Foil to red and green cardstock using the Glimmer Poinsettia Plate Set and the Glimmer Hot Foil Machine. Cut the flowers and leaves out using the coordinating dies, bend each petal and leaf down the center to shape, and adhere the layers together with liquid glue.
- Mat the white background panel with gold metallic cardstock and red cardstock, and adhere them down to a top-folding white card base measuring 9” x 4” with tape runner.
- Pop the sentiment panel up in the center of the card front using foam adhesive.
- Arrange the flowers and leaves around the sentiment panel and adhere down with strong liquid glue.
I hope you enjoyed this trio of elegant floral cards and thanks so much for stopping by today. You can shop the Picot Petite Collection now and create your own elegant cards for any occasion!
