For more tips on creating with the flower shaping molds, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/FSdPL7nXvQE
Instructions:
Card size: 4 X 6 3/16”.  Use the outer die of cage to cut a white card base folded in half, hanging the top of die over folded edge about 1” so that the fold stays intact.  Cut another white cage with outer die then glue it to the front of folded card base.  Now cut a gold decorative cage with the inner die, glue it to the front of card.  Cut a piece of decorative paper with the bird on it for the inside (cut the top off so that it fits inside the fold). 

Stamp 1 vine, the bird facing right, the 3 and the 2 wisteria shoots using London Fog or black.  Color with Copic Markers.  Stamp wisteria blossoms using Deep Purple and Majestic Violet, sponge, die cut and form then glue in sets of 2.  Fill centers with green Prills.  Glue a flower onto each stamped flower.  Pop bird up onto cage on the left side bottom.  Pop up vine and leaves with wisteria shoots across the top part of the cage.  Stamp the sentiment on white using Deep Purple, die cut with circle and die cut a mat with gold then glue it to the inside.

Glitter flowers and gloss leaves with lacquer.



My second card features the lovely French door
with Lilacs.  The fence features 2 halves
of a heart with the Lilac.
Inside has 2 large pockets for multiple tags.  I like writing person messages on these tags.

Instructions:
Card size: 6 X 6 1/4".  Start with the Swing Fold Card Base.  Pick a decorative paper panel with the purple doorway then use the Rounded Sunlight Window outer die to cut it out.  Cut out a round panel for the backside as well using another lavender color sheet of paper.  Cut out 2 more square panels out of this same paper (all 3 inside pieces should coordinate when using a single sheet).  Glue all the panels to the card base.  With the last 1/4 of the inside sheet of paper, make 2 pockets for the square panels 2 3/4 X 5 1/2".  Glue the bottoms and sides to the bottoms of 2 square panels.
Stamp fence, 2 vine with 6 wisteria shoots, 1 bird facing left and both sides of the vine [making a heart] using London Fog then die cut and color.  Glue the vine with hanging wisteria to the top and both sides of the circle panel.  Cut the fence in half and pop up one side to each of the front circle panel wrapping the heart shaped vines around each fence post.  Stamp small sentiment for the front using Deep Purple then die cut with very small circle, circle die cut a purple mat, glue the 2 together then glue it to the right side of the front circle.  Open card and finish decorating by gluing and popping up the bird to the bottom right side of the inside circle panel.
Stamp sentiment using Deep Purple and die cut it with Ornamental Tags Die, cut the mat with purple paper.  Glue it to the inside circle panel above bird, below wisteria.

Stamp flower blossoms, sponge, die cut then pleat outer edges and glue in sets of 2.  Fill centers with green Prills.  Glue flowers to the stamped flowers with bird.

Die cut 2 Courtyard Elegance [just the small square] and 1 full Stairway Gardens die from white.  Cut the Stairway Gardens in half then glue one half to each of the pockets on the square panels.  Glue the small square die cuts at the diamond (instead of square) onto the top center of each pocket letting half the diamond hang off the top.

Cut 4 large tags with 4 purple mats using Tickets and Tags Die set, cut some smaller ones to add to the tops of tags.  Add a purple bow to the top of each tag.  Slide tags into the pockets.

Randomly glitter card and tags, glitter all flowers and gloss all the leaves.
Thank you for visiting today!
