Glads were always my mother's favorite flower. She especially loved the yellow and orange ones. There are so many gladiola dies in the newest release--2024 Gladiola. It was hard to decide which to feature. I chose the WHIMSICAL GLADIOLA 94790 and yellow/orange papers for today's birthday card. I think Mom would have loved this.
to make this card
- die cut WHIMSICAL GLADIOLA 94790 using one of the yellow/orange plaids from GLADIOLA PLAID PP1027
- die cut it again using one of the bright greens from GREENERY SP1011
- assemble with a glue pen, using the illustration on the die package as a guide
- die cut one of the CURVED CAP PINPOINT LAYERS 94646 from a darker green card stock in the Greenery pack
- cut one of the floral papers from GLIMMERING GLADIOLA PP1028 for the front of a top-fold A2 note card--5 1/4 X 4 (I used a cream note card and the orange gladiola paper)
- add the Curved Cap Pinpoint Layer to the front of the card with the curved end pointing down
- glue on the Whimsical Gladiola stem
- add one of the HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOIL GREETING WHITE TABS ST006 under the gladiola stem
My cat Olive decided to photo bomb this picture of the card next to a bouquet of not-yet-open yellow/orange tulips. She couldn't resist an opportunity to sit on the table in front of the window and gaze at the lake. Puddles in the road but the 18" of snow we got last Wednesday is all gone! Spring rains again as I type this post.
Happy Crafting!
