Believe me the line up in this blog hop is amazing and will not disappoint you!  

So let’s get started! 

Card Ideas using the Fine Art Floral Suite!

A lot of times I hear from others they find it hard to come up with card ideas. They love the products but once they have them, they just don’t know what to do or where to start.

With this in mind, I thought it would be a good idea to share with you the process I use to come up with card ideas when using a suite. 

So here is the process:

1. Select a suite that you want to use. 
   • If you don’t have a full suite then select a paper pack, a ribbon spool that would coordinate, as well as some gems or rhinestones and a stamp set!
2. Pick a sheet from the paper pack you want to use 
3. Look for color combinations from the patterned paper you selected in step #2
4. Pull cardstock in the colors you selected for your color combo 
5. Think of what you will use as your focal point 
   • In my cards you will see that I wanted to highlight the stamped images as I wanted to showcase some stamping techniques, but this can be die cuts, stickers, etc.
6. Look for sketches that will fit best your focal point
7. Have fun putting together your cards!

You can see how easy this process is! believe me, try it out and let me know what you think.. I promise you that if you ever struggled coming up with card ideas this process will help a ton! 

If you to want to get even more details on how to come up with your own card ideas every single time, with ease and confidence then you might want to join my Card Making 101 program. This program will help you eliminate all frustrations to truly enjoy your precious crafting time!  This program is not open at the moment but you can join the wait list to know when it opens up again! 

Ok, so here are the cards I made using the Fine Art Floral Suite.

Are these not gorgeous??  l honestly love them all!! 

The Color Combination 

The colors in these cards would not have been my typical pick however, because I follow the process above I always end up with so many color combination ideas to try out every single time!  

So here it is the color combo!!

So modern and so different of what I would have picked! but I love how these colors came together in my cards!

 

Give it a try my friend. Next time you are putting your cards together, make sure you pick colors from the patterned paper and you will see how easy it is to come up with so many color combination ideas!

For this card my focal point was the larger flower mainly because I wanted to play with the Gilded Leafing!! oh my goodness, this new product is amazing and will help you get a gold foil with a soft texture in your projects.
