At my stamp class last weekend, I was surprised to learn nobody had made one of these big buckle cards yet. The class focused on Big Shot die cuts, and this one uses the Build a Flower Bigz die. There are two other flower shapes on the die that weren’t used on this particular card. I adhered the skinny flower to the big flower and doodled white dots around it. Then I set a jumbo eyelet in the center of the flower. The stem and “leaves” were stamped in Always Artichoke on the Mellow Moss card, next to the hole that was made with the Word Window punch.
I used the little flower background stamp from the Sprinkles set inside the card, and filled in the little dots with a white gel pen. The Thanks So Much sentiment is from the versatile Sincere Salutations set and fit perfectly on my “buckle.”
Thanks for stopping by!

Wanted to let you know that I shared this card (as well as the others we did in class) with Vivian last night. She absolutely fell in love with it! She is so disappointed that she will also miss the next class.
