My first card with 2024-2025 Annual catalog products and I didn't even use the main image from the set! I was determined to use the challenge colors from TGIF Challenges which are Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist and Blueberry Bushel and they just worked so well with the little accent flowers from the Country Birdhouse set that I decided to forego the big birdhouse and design the card with just the flowers.
These colors are so vibrant and make for a cheerful hello card. I started with a Blueberry Bushel base and then embossed a piece of Basic White with the new Eyelet embossing folder.
Using the narrow angled Country Birdhouse die that is supposed to cut accent pieces for the base of the birdhouse I die cut a "window box" and filled it with stamped, colored and die cut flowers along with some Lemon Lime Twist die cut leaves. I used Blends markers in the challenge colors and just tucked them into the box and adhered it to the card front. The flower in the center is adhered with dimensionals.
The little bow is die cut and trimmed down and accented with a rhinestone. The final things is the 'hello' sentiment which is cut down from a larger sentiment and is also popped on dimensionals.
It's always good to see the smaller stamps in a set in action to really see all the creative possibilities. I love how this one turned out.
