I have NO idea why this wasn’t posted before today! I enjoy this particular paper collection from Graphic 45 almost more than I enjoyed the “Floral Shoppe” papers! This one is called “Flights of Fancy”, and has delightful hummingbirds, whimsical butterflies, and gorgeous florals – the colors are vibrant and frankly, it’s just a beauty to behold. It’s almost difficult to cut into the papers, and one makes certain to measure twice and cut once, so as to not waste any of the preciousness!!

I still use my stamps & dies from Heartfelt Creations, even though they are completely digital now, as I find they are excellent quality, and I have quite a large variety of different flowers to choose from – the range goes from tiny little lilac and cherry blossoms to (what I consider) enormous Dahlia and Wild Roses.

For this particular card, I used the classic rose, and “Oakberry” blossoms, as well as a tiny punch for the dark dark pink blossom. The butterflies are from the Ephemera pack that goes along with the collection.

I had some fun with the ribbons as well, as you can see, combining 3 different textures, widths and patterns.

Inside is a little mini cards, some pretty postcards, and a couple of chocolate bars.

I had so much fun creating this for someone special, I hope you’ve enjoyed my newest make!!

Thanks for stopping by!
