I fell head over heels for the gorgeous Best Mom stamp set and dies! That big flower is so pretty!!
I couldn’t stop stamping petals to make my flowers! I started by stamping a bunch of them in shades of pink and coral with grey and khaki foliage. I stamped the flower centers in yellow and black and then die-cut everything!
For my first card I stamped the plaid background from Brushed Plaid with a light warm grey ink and then layered my flowers and foliage over it.
I stamped the sentiment from Best Mom on black cardstock and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder. I trimmed that down to a fishtail banner and adhered it to the card with foam mounting tape.
My second card uses a similar layout with a few color changes!
For this card I stamped the background with khaki ink and used the yellow centers of the flowers. I stamped the sentiment from Hand Drawn Happiness onto vellum with versamark and heat-embossed it with black embossing powder. Then I die-cut the vellum with the fringe scalloped tag die and adhered it to the card with vellum adhesive!
For my last card I broke out my felt stash and played with the Spring Wreath die set!
I’ve never used felt before but now I understand why people find it so addicting to make felt flowers! I die-cut the flowers using shades of coral and pink and then added grey sequin centers with a little black thread. I also cut the leaves from two shades of grey felt.
I die-cut the Hello word die from grey felt and black cardstock and adhered them together. Then I die-cut the Dotted Chevrons cover up die using white cardstock and layered it on a white card base. I adhered the felt flowers and sentiment using a hot glue gun and then added a few dark grey sequins for a little extra shine!
And that’s it for day 1! I’ll be back tomorrow with another project to share! 🙂

Stunning cards and fantastic new products. Love the pink, gray and black color combo. Felt – just love the texture felt adds to a card. Terrific inspiration!
Wonderful card.
Lovely cards! Did the dots on the chevron die come out easily?
Such a lovely collection! I love your cards and have ao any ideas o what I could do if I had all the wonderful items in this release!
I love love love these! And would love to win the release! 🙂
Lovely lovely cards today!
Jessica, I love your cards! The background, the flowers, the layout, the felt hello…..all perfectly creative! Thank you!
Your cards are wonderdul and the flowers with background, wow
Beautiful! I like the bold design of these flowers.
Love the coral-y color scheme! Looks like a fun new coverup die!
So pretty! 🙂 Love how your flowers turned out.
Awesome flowers on those pretty cards! Love the soft plaid backgrounds & I’m in love with the gorgeous Dotted Chevron die!
I love the plaid background! The flowers are so pretty!
WOW Jessica, well I can honestly say, I cannot pick a fave from these 3 cards today. (I usually will have 1 that jumps out at me.) Not this time! These are all so beautiful. The large flowers are SO pretty and the Brushed background is so subtle yet makes a big impact. The Dotted Chevron does as well!
Beautifully done as ever!
Just lovely! I adore a sentiment on vellum so I really love that.
The brushed plaid will be a sell out for sure; makes such an
awesome BG. And the Spring Wreath set … my fave. The font
of the ‘hello’ is really pretty, too. *sigh* Love it all!
Love the cards and the felt flowers are just gorgeous!
Love your beautiful card!
Love the bold colors you used in your cards. The stamps have an up to date modern look.
Beautiful cards Jess. I love the sizes of these flowers, I always struggle with filling the empty space on a card design but I can see how these stamps and back ground dies make it so beautiful. Also the felt flowers are so cute.
Love the bright flowers! So clean and beautiful!
Love the palette of corals/greys. It’s just beautiful and could be used in for so many different cards. Thank you for the inspiration!
Very pretty. Love the pinks and corals with grey and your use of felt.
Pretty projects. Love the differently layers of pink color your used, TFS
Beautiful cards Jess – love the colors you chose in the first card especially; love the sentiment on the fringed scallop die and definitely want to remember that as I always forget about that die and need to use it more! And the felt flowers – gorgeous! TFS
Gorgeous flowers on your pretty cards! Super cute felt flowers on the last card and I love the stamped brushed plaid background, and dotted die background too. These coral and pinks colors are my spring faves.
