One of the perks of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is that you have such wonderful resources at your fingertips! One such resource is Stampin’ Success, a monthly publication filled to the brim with ideas. So when asked by a recent hostess, Karen, to demonstrate a layered flower at her party last week, I reached for my February Stampin’ Success and found this beautiful card made with the Fun Flowers Bigz Die. Needless to say, the flower was a huge hit at Karen’s party and at Krista’s party the very next night!
I changed the card ever so slightly by adding a center punched with the Scalloped Circle Punch. I substituted a Rhinestone Brad for an Antique Brad. Instead of having my party-goers stamp a sentiment directly onto the textured Crumb Cake, we stamped the sentiment from Bring on the Cake onto Very Vanilla card stock and punched it out with an Oval Punch. Of course, I just had to add Pearls!

This is gorgeous Ann…no wonder it was a hit! It sounds like you girls had fun! {SMILES}
So many perfectly placed details put together with such ease. Always awesome to see everything you do!
The little pearls detail is just darling.
very pretty card ann-its a great cas layout-something I dont usually see on your blog-but you do a fab job with this style as well
This is a gorgeous card! I love the bookprint flower and the the purple/kraft color combo. Thanks for sharing.
Love the look of the flower in the printed DSP! I know the gals had a fun with this! Great card from a great teacher!
Just beautiful! I love that new flower die and what you’ve done with it! And I love how you used the DSP on the flower and the pearls on the sentiment! You always know how to make a card stand out!
Beautiful Ann. What a great card and perfect for a workshop!!!
Love your card! The colors are beautiful! All the details are terrific.
And again you created a beautiful card. I wonder how you manage to come up with so many nice ideas. If there is a secret magic recipe, could you tell me please?
Have a nice day

This is sooo pretty Ann. I love how you used the DSP for your flower. You are so creative. Hugs, J
Congrats to Frenchie for winning your blog candy! Your big flower is great! Love the brad center.
Love this beautiful flower! Especially since it was a Kopykat, my kind of creations, lol.
Ann!
This is so unique and a bautiful color combination. Hope to do something similar soon thanks for continuing to share your talent.
I almost misread it – I was thinking a thousand hits but you said subscribers. Well, I personally, probably would have made the 1000 hits – I keep coming back to something I saw previously and review how you did it or just look for inspiration!
This card is no exception! I simply love everything about it! I had some of those purple rhinestone things but for the life of me, I can’t find the little container of them after I used them. It is around here someplace. Thanks for sharing it!

Oh this is so pretty. That big flower is awesome!
ooohhh love the newprint against the rich purple! So pretty! I really love how you did the pearls on the sentiment… so sweet.
I’m sure your guests had a blast making this beautiful card and I KNOW they have to LOVE having you as their teacher. Just a beautiful card. Love it.
Congrats to the winner of the blog candy, she must be so excited.
This is so pretty. Love the flowers made with that paper. Just going to have to give it a try myself. I just got the fun flowers die and haven’t played with it yet. Thanks for showing this beauty!
Really great card and you just reminded me that I haven’t received my Stampin’ Success! ๐ Sigh! Thanks for blessing my day. ๐
Love your card Ann, the addition of the graduated size pearls is perfect.
So glad the ladies loved this card. In my opinion they would be crazy not to love it. Beautiful card Ann. Thanx for sharing with us. Hope you had fun awith the ladies.

OK…I’m totally copying this card, too!
Love your recreation! Isn’t it wonderful to have all the fabulous resources that Stampin’ Up! provides us!
Simply elegant! Great colors and as usual the little added extras.
Your card is beautiful Ann. I love the way that you made your flower.I must get this die before the mini stops on 3-31. I really like that you spritzed your card making it look vintage.:) Lovethe coors that youused too. ๐

LOVE the purple framing the printed DSP part of the flower; the Circle Ice Brad in the center just pops the color! Your attention to detail with the sponging, spritzing and added embossing folder make the difference between an ok card to a WOW creation. Bravo, Ann; well done!
It is absolutely beautiful!!
Purple & pretty. Love the rhinestone brad center and your touch of pearls.
OH, Ann, this is gorgeous! Love, love the purple flower set against neutrals. Tres chic!
Love your card, the flowers are gorgeous. I can’t believe how a few
pearls can just step up a card a bit.
Awesome!
Just stopping by for a quick hi and to check out today’s card, which is really cool.
Monday’s are crazy here, but I still need my card fix. ๐
That’s really pretty and I bet those ladies were so happy to make it! I love making paper flowers and am thankful that the scallop circle punches make pretty ones. I don’t have any of the dies yet, but the more I see that one used, the more I think I need it. ๐
