Seriously the days seem to be flying by here at Uniko Studio HQ. Currently my days are filled with fulfilling orders, designing & organising myself for the rest of 2014 plus LOTS of tidying, sorting, clearing out & organising in the house. I don't think I have ever been so organised! I'm doing ALL the things I know I won't be able to do, firstly before all I can do is waddle & secondly before the twins arrive! Lol!
Anyway, I took a little time to craft last night & whipped up this card...
As I've said before every month I treat myself to a few goodies from the Stampin' Up! catalogue. When I saw the Sizzix Sqaure Framelits Die Collection they bumped a few things down the list as I had to have them! Inspired by all the flowers in the garden as I look out the window, I decided to use my new square dies to create a polaroid frame.
I started out with a rectangle of Papertrey Ink Bitty Dot Basics designer paper in Soft Stone measuring 8.5 x 11 cm. Then using one of the square dies I die cut the inner frame, finishing the polaroid off by rounding the corners. I placed the frame on my base card & lightly drew round the inner frame so I knew where to stamp the stem & leaves from Flower Power #2. The sentiment stamped on the frame is from A Gift For You & I finished the frame off by wrapping some embroidery floss around it & tying it in a bow. This is adhered to the card using foam adhesive as is the fussy cut flower from Flower Power #1.
Ok, that's all from me today, I've some more sorting & organising to do! I'll be back tomorrow with more to share, until then, thank you for stopping by :)

We're on a similar wave-length, as I'm working with a card using that very flower and a label shape. Of course, a butterfly *has* to be added! Your card is stunning, with the pretty flower nestled in the frame. Everything about it is gorgeous, exquisite and all-around awesome! Enjoy the organizing! Hugs~c
