This pretty mini slimline floral card uses BRAND NEW DIES from Rubbernecker!

I am so over the moon with all the new Mini Slimline dies from Rubbernecker and one of the first things I envisioned was this mini slimline floral card made to look like adorable little mini window boxes. You all know I love my flower dies and I just love how perfectly the ones in my own collection of flower dies fit so perfectly on mini slimline cards. For this card I used the Mini Slimline Rectangle Stitch insert die on a regular A2 sized card to show how it can be used on both sized cards. 

Card Base and Frame For This Mini Slimline Floral Card

• Use white cardstock to cut an A2 sized card base and purple cardstock to cut a 5.50″ x 4.25″ layer.
• Place the purple layer on the cutting platform, line up the Mini Slimline Rectangle Stitch die on the layer and secure it in place using masking tape.
• Run the layer and die through the machine to cut the rectangle frame openings.
• Apply thin strips of mounting tape to the back borders of the frame layer and in between the frame openings.
• Use the smallest die from the Mini Slimline Nested with Stitch to a white layer to layer behind the sentiment.
• Cut a 3.25″ x .75″ strip of white cardstock and stamp the sentiment from the Kittie Says Spring Time set using Nocturne ink. 
• Sprinkle the sentiment with Clear Embossing Powder and heat with heat gun.  
• Attach the sentiment layer to the white rectangle using ATG adhesive. 

The Floral Bouquets

If you follow my blog you know how much I love playing with paper flowers.  If you are new to my blog you may want to check out my How to Make Paper Flowers Step by Step post with two videos showing how to assemble the flowers and how to create a paper flower bouquet.

• Use purple and green cardstock to cut the Tulips and Stems, Canterbury Bells and Stems, Buchnera and Stems and Branches and Leaves.
• Assemble the flower sections and attach them to the stems using glossy accents.
• Begin creating the bouquets by attaching the flower stems together using glossy accents. 
• Attach greenery sections to the back of the flower bouquets using glossy accents to fill in the back of the bouquets.
• Attach smaller leaf sections to the front of each bouquet using glossy accents to fill in and soften the front of the bouquets
• Apply a generous amount of glossy accents to the back of each bouquet, tuck the stems in behind the frame window and attach.
• Finish by adding a single loop bow to each window and attach using glue dots.  Pro Tip:  Check out my Bow Tying Video in my tutorial section to see how I make my bows.
