I follow the blog Stampin' Pretty by Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Mary Fish. Her December 3 blog post was showing samples of cards made with items that are being discontinued. When I saw the card I have CASED here, I was surprised to read that the flower was made with the vase punch.
The card base is Chocolate Chip with a Calypso Coral mat (4" x 5 1/4"). The white layer (3 3/4" x 5") was embossed with the Subtle 3D folder.
I used a circle die to cut out an area on the white layer and added the dsp behind it. Using a scalloped circle slightly larger I cut the scalloped piece. Before adding the flower, I looped the gold thread and fastened it to the card with two large glue dots which also held the flower when I added it.
The short vase design on the punch was used to get 10 "petals". I assembled them on a circle by placing the outer petals first and then the 4 on top of them. I also lined the envelope with the dotted designer paper.

People can get SO creative with their punches - what a great idea this is! Very pretty card, Vicki - I like the colors.
So pretty! I never would have guessed that the flower petals were made with a vase punch. I love the details you added--scalloped circle frame and DSP behind the the circle aperture. They really make this card special.
