A Bountiful Basket of Roses in a Card

Valentines Day is tomorrow and I don’t know about you but I’ve been dreaming about getting a lovely basket of lush red roses from my dear husband. Hopefully he will see this post and oblige (ha ha ) but in the interim I thought I would make do with my home-made basket of roses – in a card. 

I know you’re thinking – is that a card??? It certainly is! It’s a card made out of card stock, glitter strips and ribbon so basically I don’t really need a basket of actual roses, this should certainly make do! Here’s a look at the card from another angle.
Wondering how I concocted this creation? I am happy to say that I filmed ‘the making of this card’ so you can see first hand how I made the project in the video tutorial below. The woven basket of glitter strips isn’t complex at all, watch the video and you will see a really quick an easy way to do it. And all those roses – they’re made from the ItsyBitsy Swirly Rose die. It’s really a great investment because you can make all the roses you want in the color you want. Plus I have provided a close detailed view of how I made that bow so watch on!
I am also providing a template of the shape I used for this card. The size is approx 4.25″ by 6.25″ but you can enlarge or reduce as you require. 
I hope you enjoyed this post and the video. Now all that’s left is for my husband to get me the real stuff! Cheers!

  1. Your creation is just ….. Pls fill in the blank with all the words that are synonymous to stunning, beautiful, mind blowing, 'wow'.. I have a poor vocabulary Sunehra… Your husband is gonna ADORE it… A humble bow to you..

  2. Oh wow!! this one is a stunner for sure …gorgeous ..gorgeous roses and the basket made from the glitter strips is such a Fabby idea …loved this to bits Sunhera 🙂

  3. WOW Sunehra a shaped card , weaving and gorgeous roses all rolled into one and what a winner. It was intriguing seeing you make the rose. Using the daisy die I rolled it the other way..somehow didnt get the desired effect when I rolled it from the periphery in as you have shown! Did you try embossing it and then rolling to cut short the curving step ? Just curious..

  4. Oooo… I love love love this one… I loved the idea of this die too.. for now I dont have a bigshot, but i'm gonna buy this die and be happy when i own a big shot!! 🙂 so pretty gorgeous…

  5. Hey thanks for your comment. I don't have the daisy die so I don't know. But this one starts larger from the outside and smaller inside so you have to roll from the periphery. Regs your question – embossing first? Embossing how? At best perhaps I could have the done the curling before rolling it, might save time.. do elaborate…

  6. Manu – I ALWAYS marvel at the fact that you don't have a cutting machine, big shot or otherwise… The stuff you create without it is amazing… so glad this die appealed to you.. it is a useful piece.
