Happy Monday! I used the Fragrant Flowers Bundle and the gorgeous Favored Flowers 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to create today’s card. Sale-A-Bration ends tomorrow! Don’t miss out on earning the lovely Favored Flowers 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper for free! And be aware that the Fragrant Flowers Stamp Set comes in either Cling or Photopolymer stamps so be sure to check the item number before ordering!
To start, I added a panel to the card front in a Fresh Freesia print from the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper. Using the coordinating die from the Fragrant Flowers Dies set I cut out the two-flower image from the Favored Flowers paper. That’s right…the dies from the Fragrant Flowers Dies coordinate to cut out images from the Favored Flowers paper! How awesome is that? The die cut flowers were adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Two open leaves were die cut from Mossy Meadow cardstock and these leaves were tucked around the flower.
I stamped the “Thanks” sentiment from the Fragrant Flowers Stamp Set onto a piece of white cardstock then used the label die from the Fragrant Flowers Dies set to cut out. The sentiment label was adhered to the lower right of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside panel I partially stamped the large flower image from the Fragrant Flowers Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss onto the lower left of the panel. A 1/2″ strip of coordinating DSP was adhered down the right side of the panel and then the panel was adhered to the inside of the card.
The same large flower image was stamped onto the envelope front in Blackberry Bliss ink and I adhered a coordinating piece of the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap and trimmed around the flap to finish off the envelope. Multiple Fresh Freesia Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems were adhered to the card front to finish off the card!
