I know it's not very "spring-like" where many of you live so maybe a pocket full of pop-up posies will brighten your day a smidgen. They're part of the Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit (#131395) in Stampin'Up!'s Spring 2013 Catalog.  The kit comes with enough ingredients to make nine tags if you follow the directions included.  However, if you change the die-cut flowers just a little you'll have even more to use on cards, packages, scrapbook pages, and more.

#131395 Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit

The directions will show you how to make little flowers similar these and suggest more layers for the Pool Party and Calypso Coral flowers.  I used less layers to yield more  flowers.

However, with some ink, a sponge dauber, stamp and a little attitude, you can easily turn them into works of art like these.

#1 Stamped with En Francais (#109521)  and Pool Party Ink (#126982)

#2 Sponged on the tips with Calypso Coral Ink (#126983)

#3 Stamped with En Francais (#109521) and sponged with Pool Party Ink (#126982)

And my favorite, with lots of attitude……

#4 Sponged with Calypso Coral Ink (#126983)

The flower centers for #2 and #3 use pieces of the 5/8" Flower Trim (#126869) from the Spring 2013 Catalog.  Flower #2 also includes a Large Basic Pearl (#125577).  A bright and cheery brad left over from last year's Summer Smooches collection sweetens Flower #4.

Add your own attitude to create some really cute embellishments in no time at all.  Hope this pocket full of pop-up posies put a smile on your face today.
