I am super excited to show you more Cottage Rose Bundle and Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper (DSP). Did you know that one of the Cottage Flower dies actually die-cuts lots of the little images from a sheet of Abigail Rose DSP? This sheet to be exact.
“WooHoo”, said I. And I proceeded to die-cut all the pieces from one sheet of the DSP. Then I tapped my fingers together and said, “Let’s create.”
Here is the sweet card that resulted from the pile of pieces and parts.

CREATING PIECES & PARTS
- Die-cut lots of floral and leaf images using the Cottage Flower dies on the Abigail Rose DSP as shown above.
- Layer the ledger and Petal Pink cardstock.
- Use the Blossoming Happiness spiral edge die to die-cut the top of both Very Vanilla cardstock panels. And the Ledge/Petal Pink layer to it.
- With a light hand, use the watercolor pencils to add tint to the large flower and leaves. Blend the pencil lines with the Blender Pen. I used Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie, and Granny Apple Green watercolor pencils.
- Stamp the sentiment on the 1″ x 2″ ledger piece.
- Add Dimensionals to the back of the large flower and the sentiment. TIP: Do not remove the protective backing from the Dimensionals until you are ready to adhere the pieces to the panel.
- Layer and tuck (yes, that is a thing). I put the big piece down first and then arrange the other pieces. When I get it to my liking, I take a picture. Then it is time to adhere the pieces to the panel.
- Wrap some Linen Thread around the top of the panel and tape it to the back. Make a double bow with the Linen Thread and attach it with a Glue Dot.
- Emboss the front of the Kraft Note Card with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.
- Add Dimensionals to the back of the panel and add to the embossed notecard.
FINISH WITH A FLARE
- Add a super cute Brushed Brass Butterfly.
- Those extra Abigail Rose flower & leaf die-cuts are perfect for embellishing the card insert and the envelope.

You are so, so clever!! I am over the moon that SU has so many suites where dies work with the DSP and not just the stamp set.
DIVINE card! You have worked your magic yet again. TFS
Oh Linda. how I’ve missed your super kind comments. Thank you.
I ran over here so fast from Brian’s challenge to see how you made this amazing card! I have a new order started already! Beautiful!
Pam, You are too funny. I about fell off my chair when I realized those Cottage Flower dies cut out lots of pieces from the DSP.
Fabulous card!!
Thank you, Gerri. So much fun to die-cut and piece together the focal image.
