The Gorgeous Garden Dies make such a great background for any floral card, particularly a more solid type of stamped image. Here I’ve combined it with the Textured Floral bundle. There are a lot of dies with this bundle, so once you have them cropped you can easily build your card. You can check out my other cards on Pinterest for more inspiration.
Here’s how I made this card:
- The card base is Soft Sea Foam cardstock cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
- Adhere a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper to the card base.
- Crop a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock with the flower Gorgeous Garden Die and adhere it to the front with glue. Make sure to add a bit of glue to all the little areas of the die cut so that they don’t get bent when putting the card into an envelope.
- Using Balmy Blue ink, stamp one each of the three flower images onto scraps of Basic White cardstock and crop with the corresponding dies.
- Use Blueberry Bushel ink to stamp the larger flower center onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and crop with the corresponding die. Glue onto the largest flower.
- Use Blueberry Bushel ink to stamp the flower centers to the two smaller flowers.
- Using Garden Green ink, stamp one large and two smaller leaf bunches onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and crop with the corresponding dies. Glue onto the card front — refer to photo for placement.
- Crop the three leaf stems from Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, and Parakeet Party cardstock. Glue to the card front — refer to photo for placement.
- Adhere the largest flower to the card front with dimensionals, then glue the smaller flowers to the card front, slightly tucking them under the large flower.
- Place a large, medium, and small Glossy Dot on the three sizes of flowers — refer to photo for placement.
For the inside of the card:
- Adhere a 1/2″ x 5 1/2″strip of Hello Irresistible DSP to a 5/8″ x 5 1/2″ strip of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. Adhere to the left side of a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Trim the ends of the strip to match.
- If desired, stamp a sentiment of your choice on the white cardstock, or leave it blank to write your own message.
- Adhere the Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
Envelope:
- Use Balmy Blue ink to stamp the smallest flower to the lower left corner of the envelope.
- Use Blueberry Bushel ink to stamp the flower center.
