Doodlebug Design: Pinspired Floral Arrangement

Hi Everyone!   The Doodlebug Design Team was challenged to find a non-paper related pin on Pinterest that inspired us to create something from our Doodlebug products.  I took a look through my Pinterest Boards and found this pin showcasing some Mother's Day floral arrangements.   I just loved the beautiful flowers and decided to recreate this using some Gingham Linen Petite Prints.

My friend called this an "ambitious" project, she was so right!  However, I'm thrilled with the results, it was worth the effort.

I started with the tea cup cut file here.  I pieced it together using some Lily White and Stone Gray Petite Prints.  I then set to making a number of 3D Paper Flowers using various cut files from the Silhouette Store, and more Petite Prints.  I glued wire to the bases of the flowers and arranged them in the cup using some floral foam.  Here are some other views of the flowers in the cup...

And here are some close-ups of the flowers...

The best part?  I have a pretty floral arrangement that will never wilt!  That's it for me today.  Be sure to stop by the Doodlebug Blog over the next couple of weeks for more Pin-spired projects!  Thanks for stopping by to peek!

Paper Issues: Pinspire Me

Hi Everyone,  It's time for the April Pin-spire me challenge over at Paper Issues!  Mary-Ann came up with this fabulous Pin-spiration Board!

Here's the card I created ...

I was most inspired by the daisies and the yellow, white, green color scheme.  The cardstock and Swiss Dot Petite Prints papers are from Doodlebug Design.  And now a surprise for you... I created the Silhouette cut file to make this card and would love to share it with you.  It's available for free in the Paper Issues Store here!  Be sure to head over to the Paper Issues blog to see all of the Pin-spire Me inspiration.  Enter your Pin-spired project in our April Challenge album here in the Paper Issues Friends and Fans Facebook Page and you could win a gift card to the Paper Issues store!
