Flower Bouquet

 Using more of 2024's advent calendar stuff, I wanted to use it all by last year so that I would start fresh with this year but still had a few left. These flowers, gems and bow are from the advent calendar. I am not sure if I went to far using the papers or not, I used pattern paper for everything, the die cuts  and framing and background. This card was hand delivered so I was able to use the bigger gems on it.


  • Diamond Press - 2024 Advent Calendar- Flowers and bow dies and Gems
  • Spellbinders - Decorative Labels 28 die
  • Craftsmith - Sea Glass papers
  • Bow and flowers from scrap pattern papers

I would like to share my card with Love those pretty papers challenge 

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today, 

Connie

The mix of patterned papers gives this design such richness, and the layered die cuts feel beautifully cohesive rather than too much. The deep background lets the blue florals and those larger gems shine, and the framing adds an elegant, finished structure. A lovely way to use the advent pieces in a way that feels intentional and polished.
