let’s prepare all the supplies we need for the Say it with Flowers card project. Here’s a list of all the required materials and tools: 

• Digital Stamp “Say it with Flowers”: You can grab the digital stamp from All Dressed Up Stamps here.
• Cardstock for Base Card: Choose a card base measuring 13 cm x 13 cm (or cardstock measuring 26 cm x 13 cm if you prefer to make your own base card).
• Patterned Paper: Choose the patterned paper you prefer to use. You need a piece measuring 12,5 centimetres by 12,5 centimetres. 
• Colouring medium: You can use any colouring medium you want, but I used alcohol markers for this card. 
• White Gel pen: You”‘ll need a white gel pen for adding highlights. 
• Aqua Shimmer Pen: Prepare your aqua shimmer pen for adding sparkle (optional).
• Heart Die: Use a heart die for the heart-shaped window.
• Foam Tape: Use foam tape to adhere to elements and add dimension to your card.
• Heart Embellishments: Choose heart embellishments for extra flair.
• Alphabet letter die: We use this die to make the letters for the word sending.
• Word Die “Smiles”: Utilize a word die with the word “Smiles”.
• Leaf Die: Use a leaf die for additional decoration.
• Scissors: Have scissors on hand for cutting paper and other materials.
• Glue: Use glue to securely attach the different elements.

In addition to the materials listed above, you’ll also need the following tools to complete your “Say it with Flowers” card:

• Die-cutting machine: You”‘ll need this machine to die-cut the hearts-shaped window in the card.
• Scoring board (if making the base card yourself)

Now that we have all the supplies, we can start printing and colouring our digital stamp.

Before we start crafting, let’s begin by printing and colouring the “Say it with Flowers” digital stamp. Follow these steps to bring the stamped image to life:

• Printing the Image: Start by selecting the “Say it with Flowers” digital stamp from All Dressed Up Stamps and printing it onto DCP paper. Consider the size of the digital stamp and adjust it accordingly to fit in combination with the heart die that you will use.
• Colouring the Elements: Once you have the digital image printed, it’s time to choose your colours. Using alcohol markers, begin colouring the various elements of the digital stamp. Here’s a breakdown of the colour combinations I used for each element:
  • Rabbit: Clay (116), Walnut (100), Grey Brown (104), Peachy Blush (257).
  • Leaves: Yellow Green (48), Grass Green (47), and Forest Green (50).
  • Blue Flowers: Baby Boy (144), Sweet Dreams (76), and Midi Sky (190).
  • Yellow Flowers: Pastel Lemon (39), Lemon Yellow (35), and Yellow (34).
  • Pink Flowers: Pale Pink (09), Pink (08), Peony Purple (282).
  • Flower Centers: Red Barn (245), Golden Yellow (222), Lemon Yellow (35).
• Adding Highlights: Once you have applied the base colours, use a white gel pen to add highlights to certain areas of the digital image. This will help create dimension and depth.
• Final Touches: For an extra touch of shimmer, use an Aqua Shimmer Pen to add sparkle to the coloured elements. This step is optional but adds a beautiful finishing touch to the image. I used it on the edges of the bunny. 

By following these steps, you will have a beautifully coloured “Say it with Flowers” image ready to be incorporated into your card design.

Now that we have completed the printing and colouring process, let’s move on to the next step: creating the card base. Let’s continue our crafting journey together!

Now that we have our beautifully coloured “Say it with Flowers” image, let’s move on to creating the card base. Follow these steps to prepare the card base and background panels:

• Preparing the Card Base: Start by selecting a sturdy card base measuring 13 cm x 13 cm. Alternatively, you can make your own base card by cutting a piece of cardstock to 26 cm x 13 cm, scoring it at 13 cm, and folding it in half.
• Cutting the Patterned Paper: Next, choose the patterned paper you like. Cut a piece measuring 12.5 cm x 12.5 cm to layer onto the card base.
• Creating the Heart-Shaped Window: Use a heart die to cut a heart-shaped window out of a white panel measuring 12 cm x 12 cm. This panel will be layered on top of the patterned paper to create a decorative frame for our stamped image.

By following these steps, you will have a beautifully prepared card base and background panels ready to showcase your Say it with Flowers image. Now that we have completed the card base preparation, let’s move on to the next step: assembling the card layers. Let’s continue our crafting journey together!

Before assembling your Say it with Flowers card, it’s important to add some heartfelt sentiments that convey your messages. Follow these steps to create sentiments that match the theme of your card: 

• Choosing the Perfect Sentiments: Take a moment to decide on the sentiments you want to include on your card. For this project, I opted for the uplifting phrase “Sending Smiles” to complement the cheerful theme of the card.
• Die-Cutting the Letters for the word sending: Use an alphabet letter die and black cardstock to carefully cut out the letters needed to spell out your chosen sentiment. I use this die to make the word sending.
• Die-Cutting the Word “Smiles”: I can make the word “Smiles” with a word die. I still have this in my pantry. But of course, you can also make the word with individual letters. I punch the word out of black paper. To create a striking contrast, I then adhered the word to white paper and painstakingly cut around it, leaving a subtle white border.

By following these steps, you’ll create a stunning Say it with Flowers card that will surely delight the recipient. Now, let’s move on to the final step and add the finishing touches to personalize the card even further. Let’s continue our crafting journey together. 

Now that we have all the elements ready, here’s how you can put them together seamlessly: 

• Layering the Background Panels: Begin by adhering the patterned paper to the card base. Centre the patterned paper onto the card base, making sure that all sides have even borders. 
• Adding Dimension: To add dimension to our card, apply foam tape to the back of the white panel with the heart-shaped window. Carefully align the window panel over the patterned paper and press down firmly to secure it in place.
• Placing the Stamped Image: Now it’s time to add the beautifully coloured “Say it with Flowers” image. Apply foam tape to the back of the image, focusing on areas that require additional elevation for a layered effect. Carefully position the stamped image over the heart-shaped window, ensuring it’s centred and aligned to your liking.
• Embellishing: You can further enhance the design of your card by adding any additional embellishments, such as heart-shaped embellishments and the die-cut leaves at the bottom of the heart. This will add visual interest to the card. 
• Affixing Sentiments: Finally, attach the sentiments you crafted in the previous step onto the card. Place them strategically to complement the overall design and convey your message effectively. I place the letters sending in the left bottom corner. I place the smile sentiment at the right upper corner of the heart. 

By following these steps, you’ll create a stunning “Say it with Flowers” card that will surely delight the recipient.
