For more tips on creating with the flower shaping molds, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/FSdPL7nXvQE.
To see how to shape the roses, watch the video at https://youtu.be/Z8P070kC3oo.
Instructions:
Card size: 5 1/4 X 6”.  Cut Ivory card base then cover with dark pink card stock.  Cut another ivory piece 5 1/8 X 5 7/8” and glue it to the pink.   Cut a piece of decorative paper (rose pattern shown here) about 2  1/2" X 5 3/4" for right side of card.  Cut a piece of dark pink 4 X 6” cut the right side with the plain edge Fleur border and cut the scalloped edge from another piece of dark pink.  Run the dark pink panel (not the border) through the die cutting machine with an embossing folder.  Trim the height to match rose paper and then glue border onto the right side.  The embossing folder used here has lines that cross so there is a pearl at each cross section.  Add a pearl flourish to the right side on the rose panel.
To decorate: Stamp Unfailing Love scripture on a piece of ivory and die cut with the oval die set.  Die cut the smaller eyelet oval from dark pink for a mat.  Cut an oval 1 size down from the sentiment oval out of foam sheet.  Cut the eyelet oval out of foam sheet (keep little scalloped hole piece in).  Layer the dark pink eyelet to the foam eyelet and the small oval with the sentiment oval then glue them all together, stacking.  Glue the stack to the left side of card, centering vertically.  Stamp, sponge and die cut roses and tiny blossoms.  Place both flower types in their own shaping mold and run through die cutting machine. Stamp, sponge and die cut leaves using Fern Green.  Run Leafy Accent leaves through the machine in the mold.  Form rose buds for centers of roses (see video) and just poke the belly of all the larger petals, glue them together staggering petals.  2 large, 2 medium, 1 each of the next 2 sizes down and then your buds in the centers.  (The smaller rose is still 2, 2 and 1 then the bud, just smaller sizes).   The tiny blossoms are 2 layers each and have Prills in the centers. All flowers are glittered leaves are brushed with shimmer.   Glue leaves and flowers to the card right and bottom of oval.

Second card, Classic Sunflower in lavender...These definitely look like a different kind of flower, amazing. Might want to get your Classic Sunflowers out, eh?

For more tips on creating with the flower shaping molds, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/FSdPL7nXvQE.
Instructions:
Card Size: 6 X 6”.  Cut dark pink panel to 5 1/2 X 5 1/2" then cut a silver mat about 1/32” larger on all sides.  Glue these to the white folded card.  Cut a panel from decorative pink paper measuring 5 1/2 X 6” and die cut frame of Ornate Pocket Accent on top and on the bottom (cut only 1/2 way down the die frame).  Cut 2 Ornate Pocket Accents dies out of white.  Cut 1 large circle out of white and 1 out of silver and then 1 size down out of pink.  Glue pink and white together and offset silver to the right so that it shows like another circle mat then glue to the center of die cut pink decorative paper.  Now glue white Ornate Pocket Accents die cuts to top and bottom to match edges.  Glue the die cut panel to card and randomly add glitter to card before decorating with flowers.  Stamp sentiment on white card stock and die cut with the eyelet heart.  Pop up heart on the right side of circle.

Stamp several sets of Classic Sunflowers using Magenta Hue and then die cut.  Sponge a bit of Magenta Hue just in the centers of each blossom.  Form flowers with the pad and stylist found in the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.  Glue together 5-6 blossoms per flower and pierce centers (make a large hole for several stamens to go into).
Take about 5-6 stamens and fold them in half around a small wire that can be used like a needle and thread stamen through the hole.  Dab glue around bade of stamen and let dry before cutting off the excess.  Run the leaves through the die cutting machine in the Leafy Accents Shaping Mold after misting.  Let leaves dry.

Arrange flowers around circle and when you like the arrangement, start gluing the flowers to the card.  Insert leaves and glue in place.  Add glitter to flower petals.  Use some white Liquid Pearls or Nuvo to make little dots around flowers.

Matthew 1:20-21 

20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is [a]conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name [b]Jesusfor He will save His people from their sins.”

This is the Christmas season and a time for generous giving and doing for others less fortunate than us.  When I think about that I think of these verses in the New Testament.
James 1:27
27 Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.

Matthew 25:34-40
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’
37 “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing?39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’
40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,[f] you were doing it to me!’
Colossians 3:23-24
And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
