Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral Friendship Card

The images in the Textured Floral Bundle go beautifully with the Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper…just coordinate your inks with the paper to create this pretty and simple card!

I started off by adhering one of the floral prints from the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper to a card base in Pretty Peacock. Onto Basic White cardstock I stamped a large and small leaf cluster in Lost Lagoon ink, a large flower in Calypso Coral ink, and a small flower in Crushed Curry ink. The flower centers were stamped in Copper Clay ink. I used the coordinating dies from the Textured Floral Dies set to cut out the images. I also die cut a leaf sprig from Pretty Peacock cardstock.

I arranged the leaves and flowers onto the card front and when I was happy with the placement, adhered the pieces down using liquid glue. The sentiment was stamped onto a white sentiment label using Lost Lagoon ink and I cut a banner end on the right side of the label before adhering it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A small knot bow was tied using the Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon and adhered just under the flowers using a Mini Glue Dot.

The small flower image was stamped in Crushed Curry on the inside panel and the flower center was stamped in Copper Clay ink. The panel was then adhered to the inside of the card.

The same small flower was stamped onto the envelope front and envelope flap. I added several Iridescent Pastel Gems in Calypso Coral to the card front to finish off the card. This pretty little card worked up quickly and I’m so pleased with the results! You’ll find the products used to create this card in the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.
