Honey Bee Stamps Cone Flower|A2, Slimline & Mini Slimline ideas
I have been on a die cut flower kick lately. Today I am using the Honey Bee Stamps Honey Cuts coneflower layered die on 6 cards in 3 different sizes. Hopefully this gives you some ideas on how this die or a large flower die cut you have, can be used.

A2 CARDS


The card on the left was made with 2 flowers in 3 shades of pink and yellow/orange CS. I inked the edges of each piece with with darker shade of ink to provide some dimension. The same was done with the leaves included in the set.

Slimline Cards


This Slimline card measures 3.25 in W by 8.25 tall.
Flower- Honey Bee Stamps Honey Cuts Coneflower die The stems where hand cut to be long enough to fit in the jar. I had to glue the stems to the vellum before I attached to the back of the shaker. I would use double sided tape and not liquid glue to ensure that no pieces can slip through.
Background - Double layered white die cuts using Photoplay lattice cover plate die backed in Night of Navy CS from Stampin Up
Jar - Mama Elephant Jar Shaker Die which appears not to be available. I backed this is blue vellum and the outside sides of the shaker are Gina K Sea glass CS stacked 4 times and filled with sequins, beads and glitter.
Sentiment - The Greetery opposite attract stamped in VersaFine Black and clear heated embossed. Die cut 3 times. There is also now a die set for the cursive sentiments

This Slimline card measures 3.25 in W by 8.25 tall as well

Background - Double layered white die cuts using Photoplay lattice cover plate die
Jar - Mama Elephant Jar Shaker Die which appears not to be available. I used blue vellum over a piece of Hero Arts Arctic CS cut to look like water use the out piece of the die.
Sentiment - The Greetery opposite attract stamped in VersaFine Black and clear heated embossed. Die cut 3 times. There is also now a die set for the cursive sentiments.
I put some yellow pearls on the flower and a yellow glitter CS heart for some added interest.
I think I like the shaker version better.
Hope this gives you some ideas on how to use the same die on different types of cards.
I also die cut the flower in Bristol smooth and Neenah 100lb CS so I could try my hand at blended and comic colored versions. I'll be sure to share those as wells.
