How to Make a Basket of Wildflowers Card

Looking for a floral die cut project? Check out this stunning basket of wildflowers and send a smile someone’s way.

Today’s stunning card creation is from the fabulous Kittie, who is putting a smile on our face with these bold florals. Here quick steps will help you make a pretty basket full of flowers with fall colors. Kittie shared, “I made this with a 5.00″ x 7.00″ card base so I could make a larger arrangement”, and we are so happy she did, because WOW!

Card Base

I love adding dimension to my card backgrounds so I ran the white layer and yellow trim layer through my crimper.  Do you still have a crimper floating around collection dust?  Even though it is thought to be an out of date tool I still use mine regularly to add interest to die cuts.

• Yellow card base is 5 x 7 and the white layer is is 4.75 x 6.75″.  Pro Tip:  You will always need to start with a little bit larger piece of cardstock when crimping as it reduces the size. I started with the full 5 x 7 piece and then used my fingers to spread it out a little.
• Attach the white and yellow crimped layers to the card base using double stick tape.

Fall Flowers and Sentiment

• Cut the wicker basket sections and assemble them together using Nuvo glue.
• Cut several sections of the green foliage and begin attaching them to the back of the basket to create a base for the flowers.
• Cut and color the different flower sections, assemble them and attach them to the foliage base using Nuvo glue.
• Fill in the bouquet with additional foliage and tiny flowers.
• Attach the basket and flowers to the base using Nuvo flue and mounting tape.
• Stamp and die cut the sentiment and attach it to the yellow layer using a thin strip of mounting tape.
