Here's my card.
I chose to add Whisper White as neutral because I preferred a softer take on the color combo. My stamp set of choice is Everything Eleanor. After stamping the "swoosh" in Wild Wasabi, I used the label in the stamp set and stamped on the back of a piece of designer paper from the Gold Soiree pack. I fussy cut the label and stamped a sentiment from Blooming With Kindness with Island Indigo Ink.
A few flowers & the bird from Everything Eleanor were stamped with Crisp Cantaloupe. In addition, I stamped the larger flower from the same set with Island Indigo Ink. Using the Darling Doily Thinlet on Wild Wasabi cardstock, creates just the pop of color that I want to tie in the "swoosh".
Now to add some banners. The largest one is cut from the Regals Designer Series Paper Pack and it is accented by 2 small banners cut from Island Indigo & Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock. The pattern on the striped banner is reinforced with the card liner from the All Abloom paper stack. The finishing touch is the addition of lots of Pearl Basic Jewels.

Yesterday I posted a cutout card with a baby theme. Today I am going to show you the technique I used. But, I will use the Flower Patch Stamp set with the Flower Flair Framelits. The technique I use is similar to one that you may have seen used with the Circle Card Framelit.
- Using a 4" x 5-1/4" pice of Whisper White cardstock, position the framelits of choice near the edge of your cardstock but make sure that the framelit is entirely on the cardstock. Notice that my paper is horizontal. this is a must! Of course, place a clear plate under the cardstock.
- Look closely in the picture above at my watermark. It is significant because it is just above the edge of my 2nd clear plate for my Big Shot. I am not cutting all of the framelit. Only the portion that has a clear plate above and below the cardstock will be cut.
- This picture gives you a better view. Make sure that the top clear plate is positioned straight on the cardstock and roll it through the Big Shot.
- This is what your cardstock looks like now. The next step is to cut the small pieces connecting the flower with paper snips.
- Using the matching Photopolymer stamp set - Flower Patch, make sure that your stamp is oriented to match the cut out flower. Do this step prior to putting the stamp on your block. Because the stamp is clear, you can see through it making it easier to line up.
- Ink & stamp. This will produce a full flower.
- Because we want the cutout edges of these flowers to show, we must cut the front flap of our base card. I place the above piece on my card front & mark with a pencil where I need to cut.
- Notice that the marks I made are lined up in the "grooves" of my Paper Trimmer. Carefully cut ONLY the fron of the card.
- I used Paper Snips to cut the edge connected to the back of the card. Now the fun begins! Decorate your card as you desire. Here is a picture of my finished card.
I was so focused on my technique that I just noticed how much white space there is in the lower left corner of my card.. After adding a few Candy Dots, this is what my card looks like now.

I tried a new technique today with the stamp set Something for Baby & the matching Baby's First Framelits Dies.
Using the framelits, I created a border with some of the smaller framelits. After creating the edge, I stamped the image on the cut out. The baby carriage is a perfect fit for the bottom part of my card.
Hello Honey cardstock creates a standard size card base, although the front of the card is smaller because of the cut out border. The Decorative Dots Embossing Folder adds some texture to the front panel. In addition, some Wild Wasabi Seam Binding is tied around this layer ending up in a fun bow. 
The sentiment is from Baby, We've Grown. It was stamped with Black Staz On Ink & colored with several Stampin' Write Markers to match the color in the rocker toy ( not sure what is really called). Various sizes of Pearls adorn the front of my card. The inside of the card is covered with a patterned piece of dsp from the Lullaby paper pack.
All-in-all, I am pleased with my card and I plan to try this technique again. But, I am really interested in what you think. Please leave a comment to let me know your opinion.Thanks for stopping by my blog today!.
