I wish I would have thought of using my Festive Paper Piercing Pack (2012 Holiday Mini Catalog, Page 30) and paper piercer to outline the inside of the largest die cut.

A usually make a set of four cards to be given as gifts.  I make card boxes from a pattern I found online.  Unfortunately, the link is no longer available.

So Sorry, Field Flowers

Two - Step Stamping is a method I forget to use.  This was the first time I used this stamp set.  I made four cards and didn't discover my mistake until I started taking pictures.  What is wrong with the card above?  I forgot to place a flower on the one stem.  I tried stamping a flower on the finished card and, of course, I messed them up.  Oh, well - it is only paper!  What else is wrong?   The flower does not look good seated on the top stem (see bottom of post).

This is my corrected card.  Personally, I do not like how the Field Flowers stamp set was made. 

• I feel that the stem layout is backwards.  I would rather have the full bloom flower seated on the top.  Stampin' Up! has designed the top of the stem to "hold" the bud of the flower. I don't like the finished result when placing the full bloom flower on the top portion of the stamp.
• It is very difficult to figure out what direction to "seat" the flower and the bud.  I ended up marking the"top" of the flower stamps with a permanent marker so I don't struggle everytime I use the stamps.

The card was CASED from Stampin' Up!'s 2012- 2013 Catalog, page 137.  I had to change it up because I didn't like how the large flower was stamped on the opening blossom stem.
