Continuing with this progressive project - I've created the next set of three cards for my Pink Paislee MemoryDex using Bloom Street!
This rolled flower ampersand card is one of my most favorite things ever :) It's a miniature version of the rolled flower ampersand I created for my Spring Decor class at Big Picture Classes from many years ago. I die cut my Rolled Flower Cut Files from Paper 07 - 36 flowers, each sized to under 2" to fit in the 36 squares of patterns so they're itty bitty! I also cut about a dozen more mini flowers from other Bloom Street papers. This little card is just over 4" tall. Very fiddly to make but soooo worth it! For the base I folded a piece of Paper 14 in half then used the official MemoryDex punch to add the notches at the bottom to fit inside the box.
For this second card I folded a piece of the Specialty Floral Transparency Paper in half, tried to use the punch but it was too thick so I just used scissors, and then machine stitched around three of the sides. I poured in the sequins from the Mixed Embellishments and then finished sewing it closed to create a fun shaker pocket! I attached an eyelet to the top right corner then tied on a Tassel along with one of the Flower Charms. The layered paperclip is the one piece of SWAG that I kept from the 68 I made to give away at Creativation 2020 so I thought this was a fun place to keep it displayed. I printed the Bloom Street logo and tucked it under the clip along with a photo of me. I layered Floral Die Cuts under the photo and added a heart border sticker from the 4-Page Sticker Book. To finish this card I added a few jewels from the Mixed Embellishments for sparkle and shine!
The last card is an envelope cut file that I cut from Paper 23 and then machine stitched around all the flaps. I layered Ephemera Die Cuts, stickers from the 4-Page Sticker Book, a colorful "bloom street" title made with the Puffy Word Stickers, a heart from the Puffy Vinyl Stickers, Layered Butterfly Sticker, and a couple Floral Die Cuts. The more layers the better!
In the envelope I tucked journaling cards from the Ephemera Die Cuts on which I added photos, the stamped date Bloom Street was released, and the blurb explaining what this collection is all about!
Here is a photo of all of my MemoryDex cards with all 9 of my Pink Paislee collections, three cards for each collection:
They all fit nicely in this box and sit atop my cabinet as a fun memento to my collections! Let me know if you have any questions, thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteThe floral "&" is unbelievably gorgeous. To create those tiny little flowers and gather them on that card is mind blowing. LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteThe most beautiful cards I've seen! These Ampersand is my favourite too! All the tiny buds have my heart :) The sewing adds to the 'hand-crafted' touch I always love too.
