I have fallen in love with the papers in the Buttons and Blooms Collection! It reminds me of my jeans back in the mid-1970's when we used to sew on flower patches and such! I created a sweet 5" x 7" birthday card, that is filled with spring and summer colors!  
This is a quick, easy, and budget friendly card! Since I am on the alumni team, I don't always purchase the full collections, and just get a few pieces from time to time that I think I would enjoy working with. I only have the paper from this sweet collection, so I fussy cut the pocket and the flowers from the Buttons and Blooms paper. 
I stamped the Classic Rose leaf image onto a few scraps of green paper from the Tulip Time paper collection. I then used the die from the Classic Rose Collection to cut out the leaves. Fussy cutting the images from the paper is a great way to stretch a collection when you are trying to save up for the stamps and dies.

I added a fussy cut sentiment and a bit of background paper, both from the Buttons and Blooms paper pad.
I shaped the flowers just a little, and then I used foam adhesive to pop everything off the page. There is a bit of dimension, but this card will still fit into a normal envelope and go through the mail without paying extra postage!
