CSS Group Project!


Today is National Red Roses Day so it's appropriate we are using red flowers for out focal image for this month's Clear & Simple Stamps group project.
I used stamps from All Occasions 2 for my card.  I stamped the vase first and then the flowers using Green With Envy ink.  I stamped the flowers again on Dare to Be a Diva Red card stock using black ink and then I cut out each flower individually and paper pieced them onto the card.
Check out the curves along the bottom of the main panel.  I used the Party Favor 2 lid die to create the edged look.  It was a little tricky, but the one thing you need to remember is that the panel needs to be slightly narrower than the lid edge.  You will be left with a crease where the lid would fold, but I covered that up with a sentiment panel.  The sentiment panel bows, I just stacked two foam dots under it in the center and then just 1 on each side.


Be sure to check out all of the Rosie Red creations from the Design Team:




Have a great day!

  4. Dana, this is beautiful! Love your creative use of the box die's lid for a fancy edge. And, I'm so impressed with all those tiny, cut out flowers, too.
