Welcome!
I'm so glad you could stop by for a visit today!
It's Wednesday, and as you all know its a Heartfelt Creations share day!
Be sure to hop on over to the Heartfelt Creations blog after you've finished here because the team has another week of inspiring creations for you!
I decided to go with a gift idea for my project this week!
Do you have any guesses as to what it might be when you look at the title of today's blog post?
I won't keep you waiting...
My inspiration for this teacup centrepiece came from the beautiful floral arrangements that my Grandma used to receive from my uncle. I picked up a cup and saucer at the thrift store and set to work shaping flowers....daisies, roses, mums, etc.
Here's a closer look at the flowers...
I adhered matching sentiments to a toothpick to add it among the centrepiece just as the florist does. I added a bow to the side of the arrangement and then sprayed the flowers with glitter hairspray.
I had so much fun creating this...it took me back to the days of when I worked in a florist shop!
Well, I decided to create a small card to go with the centrepiece as often a card does accompany a floral gift.
Here's the small note card I created...
I chose a small card panel and trimmed it to fit the note card, allowing a small white border to remain around it. I then chose a smaller preprinted card panel and adhered it with 3D pop dots. I cut out the sentiment and once again adhered it with 3D pop dots as well. Lastly, I shaped three small flowers to add to the side of the card.
Here's a look at the set together...
I'll leave the instructions for this project here at the bottom of the blog post for you. This project is not difficult, just a little bit time consuming with the flower shaping...so don't be intimidated...you can replicate this easily and have a wonderful gift ready for a birthday, Mother's Day or even just a reminder to someone that you are thinking of them!
Until next time...

Select the flower stamps and dies, along with the various color inks that you wish to use to create your arrangement. Stamp, die cut, color and shape your assorted flowers. Arrange flowers in a way that is pleasing to you, allowing some of the flowers to drape over the sides of the tea cup, and some to sit on top of one another to add dimension. Once happy with the floral bunch, adhere one by one using Glossy Accents allowing some time for the adhesive to dry before adding more flowers. Stamp and die cut a few leaves to add randomly throughout the centrepiece. Adhere leaves in place with Glossy Accents. Add bow to side of arrangement. Lastly, select two of the same sentiment pieces from the Enchanted Mum paper collection and adhere both back to back onto a toothpick. Insert sentiment into arrangement.

Ink edges of panel with a brown colored ink, and adhere to card base. Cut out the mum image card panel shown. Ink all edges with a brown ink, and apply to card base using 3D pop dots. Select the sentiment that you wish to use from the paper collection and once again ink edges with a brown colored ink and apply to card using 3D pop dots. Stamp the small flowers from the Birds and Blooms Collection in a light pink color and cut using the coordinating die. Shape using a small spritz of water and your deluxe flower shaping tools. Adhere prills to centres. Stamp, color, cut and shape leaves. Adhere flowers and leaves to side of card as shown.
