Easy Dahlia Flower Card with Tutorial

Do you have a ton of end of the year cards and gifts to give? Here's an idea:
Special Doesn't Have to Take Forever!
I made this easy dahlia flower with a circle and heart shaped punch. Check out the video here:
EZ Dahlia Card Tutorial

One of the things that makes this card easy is that it's Semi-Hand Stamped. If you hang out here, you've seen this idea before. Check out these past posts that start simple but have added sparkle:

    Oh my goodness...I am so excited about this post! I love it! I do own the very same heart shaped punch you have! Yay! I love those punches and use them over and over and over. I love the idea of making the Dahlia flowers with them. The monogram cards that have initials on them that I would normally pass over will now get a second look as I remember this semi-homemade way to make a fun card. Love it all!!! Thanks for sharing!
    Hugs,

    I made up a BUNCH of dahlia flowers after watching your video, but didn't use them for cards until the other day. (I'm slow, lol!) I posted one of the cards on my blog yesterday!

    Thanks for the inspiration!!
