Flower Fusion - Note cards

Well, I wanted to whip up a box of note cards to keep on hand; it's always nice to have these for the unexpected gift. Of course, it's for the men in my life when it's hard to have these on hand!  ;) Thus why Best Buy gift cards are also nice to keep in storage! ;)

Anyway, I wanted to get my hands inky with the new PTI February release set, "Flower Fusion #1". Yes, it's going to be a series and yes, I'm quite happy about that...  I didn't think I would like it but it really is nice to make coordinating note cards or just clean-and-simple (CAS) cards!

Here's with what I came up:

Very simple and yet something I think makes a nice gift... especially for the lady in your life who loves sending out personalized notes! :)

Here are some close-ups:

Now, in that one, you can't really see the (in my humble opinion) cool embossed frame I created...so take a closer look at this next card:

Can you see it? Maybe in this next one?

How cool is that! :) I'm thinking of creating a simple tutorial on how to do that. If you think that would be worthwhile for me to do, let me know and I'll see if I can't find time to make it! ;)

Oh! Before I forget... see the little flower centers? It was rather easy to make those... with my handy-dandy 1/2" circle punch! Definitely something to know (if you want to punch out patterned paper, glitter paper, foil, etc.) to make as the flower's center. :)

Thanks for looking and/or commenting!
