How to Make a Wooden Barrel Card With Flowers

Need some fresh die cutting inspiration? Make a wooden barrel card with flowers highlighted by a decorative all white background.

Today’s card inspo is from our dear Kittie, bringing all the dimension and florals. Kittie says, “I love how easy this wooden barrel card  was to make with the large flower arrangement.  I used the white lattice background because I wanted it to have texture and dimension to highlight the whole arrangement.” It really is so beautiful and we think it deserves a frame!

Lattice Card Base and Barrel

I applied strips of mounting tape to the back frame borders and attached it to the card base.

I cut the barrel using Kraft and black cardstock.  The barrel was colored using brown ink and a wet baby wipe because I like how this technique creates an even coverage. I attached the strips to the barrel using Nuvo glue.

The Flower Arrangement

I used several different foliage branches because I wanted to create a variety for the arrangement.  To create the foliage base I began attaching shorter foliage section to the back of the barrel using glossy accents and continued attaching the sections to create a full base for the arrangement.

I cut the flowers in two different sizes because I wanted to to create multilayered flowers and molded them with a small stylus and attached together using glossy accents.  I attached the flowers all around the foliage to fill the arrangement.  For the flower centers I cut an edge of a scalloped die, picked up the negative die cut circles and attached them to the flower centers using Nuvo glue.  I applied a large piece of mounting tape to the back of the barrel and glossy accents to the foliage and attached it to the base.
