Simple Square Flower Card

Creative Craft World is having a challenge for a square card, so I thought I'd give it a whirl.  I don't make them very often anymore because I'm too cheap to pay the extra postage for them.  I wanted to try out my new Stampin' Up stamp set I got, my first one ever.  I went to a Stampin' Up demo a few weeks ago and got a set of stamps free after spending $50 on gorgeous ribbon.  I don't buy very many stamps because I have a hard time justifying the cost and I don't really have space to store them.  I prefer to work with digi stamps that I can store on my computer.  Anyway, I used my Cricut Graphically Speaking cartridge to cut out this flower from a scrap of blue cardstock and a scrap of print paper.  I used the stamp on the center.  The card is a 5" square cut from white cardstock with a blue mat and a yellow mat under the flower.  I stitched on the yellow cardstock and then zigzag stitched the white trim onto it.  Pop dots on the flower center of blue and the stamped circle for a little dimension.  Just a quick and simple card.
