      Americana Flowers Supplies


      To start, I cut the Pure White base cardstock into an A2 card. For more info on how to cut standard card bases, visit our Paper 101 Card Cutting guide.

      Next is the fun part, die cutting all the little flowers and leaves.

      I cut about 5 pieces of all the shapes I wanted to use. If you are making multiple of the same cards this is a fun card to mix and match all the different shapes if you don’t want them all to be exactly the same.

      I started on the center of the card and positioned my flowers how I wanted them before adhering them down. To give the card a pattern effect I hung some of the flowers off the edge and used scissors to trim the overhang pieces.

      Position the leaves and flowers on the left side.

      Then finish your flowers by adding the third column on the right side. After the right side is finished, I used foam tape to pop up the flower center pieces.

      I just mixed and matched the colors and patterns and made sure 2 of the same color is not too close to each other.

      To finish off the card, tie twine on the edge of the card and use star rhinestones to give it more of that Americana touch.

      And now you're done! Look how cute this turned out! I paired it with a Red Hot envelope
