A Plethora of Peruvian Lilies

Last week I spent an entire day restocking my own card supply.  I was running low on both birthday and get well cards, so I decided to mass produce in large(ish) quantities to help replenish my stock.  This is not something I do very often because, hello BOREDOM!  But, making multiples of a card is actually faster than you might think.  I make one sample, write down all the measurements, cut and stamp everything I need and then begin an assembly line of production!  Within a few short hours, I had made 32 of these beautiful floral cards in a wide variety of colors using the Build A Flower: Peruvian Lily stamp set by Altenew.  I should also add that given Mother's Day will be here soon, this card would also work well for that occasion.  So many of the cards I make tend to be very feminine and/or floral themed, so if you ARE looking for more Mother's Day inspiration, you can always look at my card gallery HERE.    

Card details: 

Both of these A2 sized cards were made the same way, I just used different ink colors and cardstock.   The base of each card is made from 80 lb Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  I cut a 5" x 3 3/4" piece of Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock that was dry embossed using a retired leafy vine embossing folder by Stampin' UP!  I matted this dry embossed sheet of paper with either a blue or pink mat before adhering both to the card base.  The Peruvian Lily stamp by Altenew is a multi-layered set, so I stamped each layer multiples times in a variety of blue or pink inks.  Then I used the coordinating die to cut the lilies out.  I die cut multiple leaves from Pear Pizzazz cardstock for each card.  I adhered the leaves to the card first using a Tombow dot runner.  I adhered two lilies on each card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  I stamped the "happy birthday" sentiment in either pink or blue ink on Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock and fussy cut the sentiment out.  I adhered the sentiment to the card using small strips of 3M foam adhesive.  Lastly, I added a couple of color coordinated rhinestones to each card for added sparkle.  

Here is the Peruvian Lily stamp set by Altenew that I used to create today's cards:
