Hi crafty friends! Today's card uses our new crinkly Kraft paper to make some fun flowers. I actually started with the flowers on this one as I was really just wanting to see what I could do with this new kraft paper. The instant I saw it, I thought of so many fun flowers that I could make with it so I had to just dig in and give it a go. I used the same technique as I do with ribbon to make these. I cut a strip of the paper and placed the sticky redline tape along the edge of it. I then rolled and gathered to create the fullness in the flower. Once it was finished, I edged them with black soot distress ink to give them some definition. There is a close up below. So I made three of them that I was quite happy with so I had to make a card for them to go on (you just can't waste them!) I picked some Graphic 45 papers to go with them. One of the papers was a butterfly pattern so I cut a strip of it. I decided to pop the wings up on the strip so I used a craft knife to cut around the edges of the wings. I lifted them up then added some black twinkles to the edges (they are quite sparkly even if it doesn't show in the pic).l I cut a decorative labels one in black for the back piece of my focal element. It just peeks out from behind my Vintage Lace Motif. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with a plain circle and popped it up on foam for dimension and very lightly inked the edges with black soot too. I added my three flowers in the corner and a couple of black rhinestone swirls as accents top and bottom. I pierced the edges to complete it. All in all, I had a fun time playing with the new krinkly kraft paper and I hope you like the results! All for now, Sue x

Absolutely gorgeous.Stunning colours, flowers, butterflies. Just love the paper. Hugs Sheila.x
Love those flowers Sue, will have to try get my hands on some of the crinkly craft paper. The card as a whole is really lovely. Bx
GM Sue - I am going to be a tad controversial here I think! Whilst I do like the card I am not sure the dark colours create a mood that fits with the sentiment. When I think of happy this isn't the colour palette that I would pick - but then what do I know!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Sue
Love the flowers and looking at them if the krinkly paper was pastel colours they would pass as carnation flowers.

Morning Sue, Fantastic card today, I love the colours, the flowers are stupendous, I bought that krinkly paper, so I will be trying it out with flowers. At first I thought you had used one of the new dies (like the flower one, that comes with butterflies die too, but haven't seen the butterfly one), then I read that it was paper that had butterflies on that you had cut round to lift up, ingenious Sue. Absolutely beautiful.
Hope you are chilling out on holiday. Lots of love from Patricia xx
The kraft paper is stunning and the flowers are simply gorgeous. I can't believe how different all your cards are Sue.

Hi sue what a elegant card love the flowers xxx
all the best martine xxx
Hi sue love the card and the flowers are lovely I wish my flowers looked as good as yours I think I just need to practice more!!! Lol thanks and hope your having a nice break love lesley xx
Hi Sue!
You are into your blacks and browns aren't you? LOL! Where's the greens yellows, oranges and purples gone?
Please can we have a change? I don't feel blacks and browns are very summery and winter colours come around all too soon!:( Just my humble opinion! :(
It just seems that almost every other card is predominantly black.
Don't get me wrong I really love the card designs you are doing and that Kraft paper looks to die for!! I just miss the summery colours Sue! :(
Craft Hugs as always

Hi Sue
Whilst I love the card design the colours are a bit too dark for me. I would love to see this in pastel colours. The flowers are gorgeous and your idea to cut out the butterflies is very clever - I thought it was a new die like the flower soft ones!
Morning Sue, lovely card really like what you have done with the butterfly paper. That kraft paper looks wonderful made up as flowers xx hazel
What a beautiful creation here again Sue. I love these flowers and the butterflies also looks awesome and I kind of like the colors, even they´re petty far from what I would normally choose, but I admit, it looks pretty awesome. Great work ................again.
Hi Sue i especially like the flowers on this card ,i think they stand out and catch the eye thats for sure
A stunning creation well done.

Hi Sue, the flowers look even better in the close up and making the butterflys stand out was an inspired idea but then we don't expect anything less from you ha ha!

Hi Sue. I love the way you have matched the colours and papers together. The flowers are just lovely and I now know that labels one dies go with your vintage lace dies. It is mixing different dies together that is my big problem but I am learning new ideas and techniques from you every day!! Thank so much for your constant inspiration. I now cannot get through the day without visiting your blog to see todays card!! Lots of love Tres x x x

Those flowers on that Kraft paper are lovely. any chance that paper will arrive in various colours. Imagine carnations with tinted edges! Gorgeous card sue XXX
I know I need to change the record, but once again I like everything about this card. Thanks Sue. xxx
Late posting today, so I expect everyone has said everything. I loved the idea of lifting the butterfly wings though. Not quite sure about the crinkly craft paper, it seems very dark to me, but wouldn't crepe paper work the same way?
Hi Sue, Great card got this paper

it yet must try these flowers they look
fab.

Hi Sue,
I absolutely love this card! It's fab.
Love the flowers - I thought they looked like pencil shavings too, in a nice way I hasten to add! - I've always thought I'd like to do something with pencil shavings, in fact I've probably got a little box of them somewhere! I never throw anything away! Love Graphic 45 papers & hope I've got the butterfly one so I can try this. Love your vintage lace die, goes without saying really - in fact I love everything about this card!
Hope to see it for real at Ally Pally, I love seeing all the ones we've seen on TV & on the blog there - it's like meeting up with old friends! You too, of course!
Hope you're having a nice break,
Sue xx
Hi Sue,
This is just lovely. A dramatic card with a lot of character. The crinkly kraft paper makes up into the most gorgeous flowers, they seem to have fluted petals just like a carnation.

Hope all is well. Linda xx

The happiest things in life are often the simplest and most meaningful experiences that we have. Whether it's spending time with loved ones, enjoying a beautiful sunset, or accomplishing a goal we've been working towards, these moments bring us a sense of joy and fulfillment that cannot be replicated by material possessions or external achievements.
It's important to remember that happiness is not a destination, but rather a journey that we can choose to embark on each day. By focusing on the things that bring us joy and taking time to appreciate the small moments, we can cultivate a more positive and fulfilling outlook on life.
