This is a version of Jackie Topa's daffodil which uses the new petals punch. I punched the petals out of daffodil (lol) and sponged around the edges. The center one was rolled around a pencil the sort of flattened. I cut the bottom off just a bit. The other petals were folded in half the unfolded before mounting. The front two petals are bent forward. I used a glue dot to hold them on because you only want to put tape on the bent under part. I cut the greenery by hand. The background is made using a scallop template I cut by hand. Start in the bottom corner and sponge with bashful blue. Keep moving the template up until you are finished. I used the scallop punch and a daffodil ribbon to finish it off. It needed a little more something so I added a large pearl in the center of the daffodil. Thanks for the idea, Patty!!

Build a Blossom
The new mini has so many wonderful sets. This flower is so easy to make using the Build a Blossom set and matching Blossom Petals punch. I used marina mist, celery, and whisper white for this card. I used the new framed tulip embossing folder, too. The words are from fabulous phrases. The antique brad makes this card perfect! I built the flower on a large white punched circle first. That made it easy to work with. I used the bone folder to bend the largest petals then stuck it on the card with dimensionals. I also punched a sticky note and then stuck that on my acrylic block. That showed me exactly where to place the rubber on the block so I didn't waste so much paper.

Build A Blossom
I wish all of our stamps had matching punches. For this card I stamped the petals from build a blossom with pretty in pink ink on pink pirouette cardstock. I used the new blossom petal punch to punch all the petals out in seconds. The leaves are stamped with certainly celery ink on celery paper and punched out. The base is pear pizzazz with a layer of pink pirouette that I ran through my Big Shot with the square lattice embossing folder after I used the lace punch across the bottom. I added a 1/4 inch strip of pear pizzazz across the bottom, too. To get the flower to pop up I used my snips and curled the petals like you curl ribbon. The bottom layer of petals are flat. The curled layer is attached in the center with snail. Then I added the smaller layer of petals with more snail. They are not curled. I added an antique brad to hold it all together. I used teeny tiny wishes and the scallop oval punch along with the two smallest oval punches for thinking of you. So pretty, so simple!!
