Good Saturday morning. I have a fun project and tutorial to share with your today with the Poppy Stamps Grand Madison Window and matching Flower Box along with the Memory Box Primula Blooms flower die.
I thought these brightly colored flowers and foliage would look perfect against the white window and flower box and the Brick Embossed background.
I may have a new favorite flower. I love the stems and the full layered blossoms. I thought I would show you how I created the flower added the colorful buds.
1. Die cut a green flower and a pink flower.
2. distress the back of the green flower and stems to add texture and dimension.
3. Cut the top pink flower off the stem.
4. Cut notches out of the two lower leaves of the green flower.
5. Cut the matching pink leaf off.
6. Add a touch of Glossy Accents to the back of the green leaf.
7. Attach the pink portion of the leaf to the underside of the green leaf.
8. Prepare the flowers by distressing with a stylus on a mat or mouse pad.
9. Attach a drop of Glossy Accents to the top green flower.
10. Attach the largest pink flower to the green flower base and continue layering the flowers to form the full bloom. I am so thrilled to have the Lifestyle Crafts QuickStik. It makes picking up small flowers a breeze.
Here’s the finished flower. Isn’t it sweet?
To create my little flower box garden I cut the stem from the leaves at the bottom. I used the leaves to form the foliage base of the arrangement. I trimmed off some of the length of the flower stems and attached them to the base of the card and flower box with Glossy Accents.
I recently found a new fern foliage punch by Punch Bunch and think it adds a nice fullness to the flower box garden. I attached the fern to the flower box with rolled up glue dots. I finished with a few smaller flowers to fill in the arrangement. I love how this turned out.
I hope you have a great weekend.

Lots of beautiful new makes, Kittie. Love your brick wall background in this one and your flowers are just stunning. Your ability to bend the individual elements is soooooo clever. The blooms and leaves look so real! Hugs, Lesley
That is sooooooooo sweet….oh dear now I have to get the
flower die as well….Thanks for the flower tutorial….
Another beautiful creation. Thank you for a great tutorial. Do you have a recommendation of any particular papercrafting books that specifically teach how to make flower blooms with different punches and die cuts?
Thank for the tutorial. This card is beautiful! I have the dies for the window and flower box. I will just have to use a different flower until I can buy the one you used. I think that I will also put some ‘wall paper’ behind the window opening. Thank you again for the inspiration. I absolutely love love love your cards.
Fabulous tutorial Kittie! Your flowers never cease to amaze me!
This is such a pretty window card Kitty. Very creative way to use that flower die. Love all your work.
Great tutorial! Again,you have made another beautiful card. Definitely will have to buy this flower die. Don’t ever stop teaching us!
I woke up early this morning and was greeted by this beautiful spring card. You just add delight to my days. I have gotten somewhat spoiled because I now depend on seeing your cards each day and it offers me inspiration for my own creations.
Thanks you for so generously sharing your art. Next thing I will do this morning is order the die. Hope your day is as bright and cheery as your card.
Wow, you just knock my socks off! This is gorgeous. I can see I will have to add the window and box dies to my wish list. Hmmm, mother’s day is next week-have to talk to my daughter! Just purchased the primula dies. Thanks so much for the inspiration for this die. I would never have thought to use it in this way. Have to keep telling myself-outside the box, outside the box. 😉
Kittie
You are so talented. Each day is like a breath of fresh air signing onto your blog. Your work is beautiful.
Blessings…from Leanne
Oh, these flowers are my favorite ever!!! Kittie, how long does it take you to make one of these creations?? I know you’re experienced and so much faster than a novice would be (like me), but I’ve just wondered about this…
Thank you for sharing this wonderful technique.
Completely out of the ball park. My goodness Kittie – you are a master with that stylus. Love those window blinds and brick wall!
Oh my! So cheerful and lovely.Your tutorials are explained in such a helpful way.Always amazing Kittie!
Love the brick with the window and your flowers are lovely, especially clever with the buds!
I just love your window and window box card. Well done, as usual. Thanks for sharing with all us in blogland.

Thank you for sharing! 🙂
WOW! what an idea to make flowers suit the window box, thanks for the tutorial, makes one think what to do with one simple flower. gorgeous…….have a good day…..hugs
Finding your blog is costing me money! 🙂 I bought the window, window box, door, shutters, fence and grass dies. Now I think I need the bricked embossing folder. This looks amazing on the grey
OK… just had to stop on this eye-catching card and tell you how great it is!! What a wonderful design and technique with those flowers!! I don’t have that diecut, but I think I may be on the lookout for it! GREAT job!!! Thanks for the great tutorial sharing your skills with us!
