Periwinkle Miss You Cards
by Anne Thompson

I love the new Layered Periwinkle die 94614 in the 2022 February/Spring Collection from Memory Box.  Once I started making these adorable flowers I just kept making more and more using a variety of Memory Box plaid and floral papers.  I finished four cards and have more flowers still for future projects.

to make these cards

  • trim a plaid or patterned paper 5 1/4 X 4 and add to the front of a white notecard
  • trim White Woodgrain paper or white cardstock 4 1/4 X 3 and add to the center of the notecard
  • die cut and assemble a variety of blooms using the Layered Periwinkle die set and plaids/florals/printed papers; add a Fairy Drop/Gemstone/pearl to the center of each flower; make at least three for the front of each card and another for the inside
  • die cut multiples of the medium-sized leaf and the smaller one using the Exquisite Leaf Set and plaid or printed papers that coordinate with both the background paper and the periwinkles
  • add three of the leafy stems to the white mat on the card front letting some of the stems and leaves fall over the edge onto the background colored paper
  • use foam dots to pop on three periwinkle blooms
  • die cut the background from the Miss You Posh Script from one of the plaids or prints used on the front of the card; die cut the detailed Miss You from White Woodgrain or white cardstock and add it to the background (I found it worked well to use Scor-Tape on the back of the paper before die cutting, making it much easier to add the more intricate lettering); add the assembled greeting to the card front and then add more of the gems used in the flower centers as accents
  • on the inside of the card add one of the smaller leaf sprays and a single periwinkle

Pretty cards to send to someone you haven't seen in awhile!  This design would also work well for any occasion by just changing the sentiment.  

Happy Crafting!
