Pansy Card from Punches
I tried something new today that I just learned about. I made these lovely pansies from the Butterfly Punch! I never would have thought these up on my own but I saw them on a couple other blogs today and just had to give it a try. The pansies remind me so much of my alma mater, they always planted tons of these around campus right as spring sprung! (Apparently my husband doesn’t have the same memories I do, when I asked him where we used to see tons of them he guessed Walmart and Sam’s Club. Oh well!)
Stampin' Up! Exclusive Lattice Die
I think I’m going to plan to give this to my (or for my husband to give this) to my mother-in-law for Mother’s Day. She loves flowers and gardening and this card seems perfect for her.
Besides the butterfly Punch, the other items you see that I used here include the Summer Sun Corduroy Buttons, Silver Hodgepodge Hardware (part of the current Stampin’ Up! Product Share I have going on), Vintage Brads, Sweet Pea Stitched Felt and Whisper White Satin Ribbon.
So what do you think? It would be a bit on the bulky side but I think this card could still be mailed, possibly with a small amount of extra postage needed. For us, we should be able to hand deliver this one.
April 20 – I have added a tutorial for Pansy Flowers to my blog. Just follow the link.
Thank you for stopping by to visit me at StampThat. I hope you have enjoyed today’s card!

Love it! I like the bright colors and the “chunkiness” of it–flowers that aren’t “froofy” … and remember the same influx of pansies every spring … which were then unceremoniously dug up and dumpd at the end of spring, to make place for other plants for summer!
This is a very pretty card. My husband’s favorite flower is the sweet pansy. Thanks for blessing my day

Cute card, Becky! Do you remember on which blogs you found the instructions to make the pansies? I have a couple, but I KNOW there was one where there were step-by-step pictures and instructions to make them, but I can’t find it! HELP! If you could e-mail me the links, I would really appreciate it.
I’m sorry. I’m not having any luck relocating blog I on which I learned about the Pansies. It only had a written description, no step-by-step instructions with pictures.
This is sooooo pretty!!! Now I just have to order that butterfly punch so I can try to make one! Thanks for the great idea!
This is such a pretty card. I love your design, colors, and flowers.
Beautiful card with a GREAT idea!!! tfs
