Good morning lovelies!! Ahem, I think you will see a continuing theme through my last posts – I’m just head over heels with flowers. Today I’m featuring another Spoon Flower and this time the petals are gestured downward. This is actually my demo flower – the one I put together while I was playing around – it went together easier than I thought so I decided to use it.
Clean Shabby
So I put together what I call a “clean shabby” birthday card. My sister turned me on to The Fixer Upper – with Joanna Gaines. I love the colors and the look and feel of everything they do! It just made me feel okay that these are the colors I reach for often. The embossing panel reminds me a lovely antique metal tile – I’m using Spellbinders Labels 34 Medallion Embossing Folder. I finished off the edges with Spellbinders A2 Tranquil Moments – I discarded most of the diecut saving the gorgeous corners to peek out around the edges. It’s ‘no stress’ trimming because my remedial fussy cutting is hidden by the other elements – yay! The stamp sentiment is a handy one from my word tool box, it’s Penny Black – Sentimental. Then the hero or heroine – Spellbinders Petal Pusher. I thought it would make a perfect focal for the entire card with the sweetness of the diecut flower. Don’t be afraid of the dimension – sending in a corrugated dvd box preserves the height and the recipient is in for a wow when they open the flap to an undisturbed flower.
Details
- See this video —–> How to shape Spoon Flowers.
- Cut 3 flowers, shaping as done in video
- Place each set of petals on a foam mat and poke down in center using a something fat like a sharpie or 1/2 paint brush handle.
- Place a dollop of hot glue in the center of each flower and stack one on top of the other – offset each layer slightly.
- Stand back and admire :-)

Lovely! Somehow you manage to make even ‘clean and simple’ look elegant :)
Hi Becca. Super card. Love the flower.
Becca you just keep doing it…creating the most beautiful cards I’ve ever seen. I have learned so much since I discovered you. You continue to stimulate my creative juices. I love the colors and the flower is absolutely beautiful. Thank you Becca.
Beautiful card all of it.
Such a lovely “clean shabby” card! And I definitely did Step 5 ‘Stand back and admire’. :)
Beautiful x
Another absolutely gorgeous card!! Thank you so much for the tutorial on making the spoon flowers. I love them!
A beautiful card!
Ok, I’m not getting the “shabby” here at all. This is gorgeous!!!! I love the colors – and your new flower is just beautiful! I love everything about this card. Thanks, Becca!
Becca, beautiful card! I too love watching Joanna Gaines on the Fixer Upper. Her color choices are so calming and peaceful. I bought the Layered Bloom die, YAY! Can’t wait to play!! Thank you for the tutorial! Loves, Ruthie
Beautiful flowers Becca. Have to watch the video later. Did you get my other message (email)?

This has to be the best tip/technique EVER! Thank you Becca!!!!!!

Wow, that is such a pretty card!!!!! The embossed background really sets everything off beautifully!!
Good evening Becca,
Oh what a lovely surprise finding you have put up another one of your beautiful makes when i wasn’t expecting it. I am not into grungy yuk so i do like things that if they are “shabby chic” they are clean shabby chic. I am not one that can work with sticky or dirty hands as it just makes me go OCD and i like seeing beautiful precise work even if it is not what we would normally class as elegant and stylish, it has a style all of it’s own that people like me can cope with,lol. Thank you Becca for a lovely card using Kraft card which i just have never found a use for, perhaps today is the time that i can actually bring it out to use.
love and crafty hugs

A really beautiful card, as always!
As always, another stunning card. Love the medium brown and white with a pop of pink…lovely combination. Great idea for sending it through the mail as well…Thanks, Becca!
Happy Spring to you…and happy Easter this weekend!
Blessings,
Joni
Such a pretty card, love the colors you picked and the flowers are pretty with the petals going downward
Hello Becca,
This is just stunning. Your cards are so beautiful, I don’t know how you do it time after time.

Becca, another gorgeous card, I have purchased the flower die so when it arrives I have to make some flowers and hope they are as lovely as yours.
Take care

You can never have too many flowers for me! I love this color combination. Thank you for the mid-week lift ~ Sandy
I would have never dreamt of trimming away diecuts like this. Fabulous!!! Hugs Christine xx
Really pretty Becca! This is classical but with modern colours and feel. One of my favourite cards by you. I have just received some spellbinders flower dies which I ordered, I can’t wait to play! Thanks for your inspiring (both artistically and spiritually) posts, they are always a pleasure to read.
Oh, Becca, I just couldn’t get over the perfection of the flower on this card. Your engineering mind amazes me. Sooooo, I quickly went upstairs to my kitchen to fetch the rounded measuring spoons and made, not only the dogwood flower, but the cinch and two other oddly shaped dies. They all came out perfectly. I never would have expected that they could look so darling. Since I am a woman who loves color, I could not resist the temptation to sponge very gently the dies with pastel tones before I spritzed them. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Sending big hugs, Sara
I tried the spoon flowers and love it. Have made many with good results. Now my go to quickie. Thank you the technique.
Love flowers also. Never enough.

Another awesome Becca creation today. I rewatched your spoon flower video. I learned something more from it today. I still have not tried your technique of forming these flowers. Hopefully after Easter I can get to this type of forming flowers.
I love Joanna Gaines style and color palette, as well! Beautiful card . . . I would be over the moon to receive a birthday card like this!!
Becca, You are the Joanna Gaines of card making.
Thanks for sharing your beauty with us.

I love this Becca. You always come up with different ways to use your dies. Thank you for opening up my mind to look differently with my dies.
Absolutely Gorgeous!!
[…] knew? Might you recognize that flower? Ah hunh, the same one that went on my card yesterday in my Clean Shabby Post. Back when I was playing with the flower I thought it would make an excellent carrot top! […]
