Love Blooms by Jean Okimoto

Let your Memory Box supplies do the work for you by creating a backdrop for layered roses from Birch Press Design. Hi, Jean Okimoto here, taking advantage of the Rose Bouquet Wide Washi Tape's design and colors on slimline card.

Cut the Birch Press Design Rose Bunch Contour Layers from 3 colors of the Berry Red 6x6 Collection - a light, medium and dark. Assemble the roses - the bottom layers have light outlines to serve as guides for adhering the top layers. Or be creative and just attach the layers wherever you wish - no rules here, it's not paint-by-number.

Here's a tip I've shared before, it's just a friendly reminder. If you're not sure which size you should diecut for a background or layering strip - cut the larger size. If necessary, just re-cut it to a smaller size instead of starting over again.

Attach Rose Bouquet Wide Washi Tape to white cardstock and cut it with the 1-⅞" x 6-⅞" Slim Rectangle Basics Layer die.

Stamp the greeting - from the Friends and Family Clear Stamps Set - on a light green 6x6 from the Lush Green Collection with Onyx Black VersaFine. Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder. Cut the top edge with the short side of the 6-⅜" x 1-⅜" Slim Rectangle Basics Layer die, then trim the bottom. That's easier than using a paper trimmer and cutting (and re-cutting!) the sides until you have an even block.

Attach the diecuts to a white slimline card - 3-½" x 8-½". Add the lime green Bright Jewels.

Designs from Memory Box, Poppystamps and Birch Press Designs are a great combination for any project or occasion. I love how they work together and use them often for my card kits.

Thanks again to everyone who ordered my Cards by Color kit! It sold quickly, and I've added more kits.
