Stunning floral greeting cards using Stampin' Up! Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper

                                    

  • Stampin' Up! Cards using Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper
  • Last day to sign up for 7 February Paper Pumpkin Procrastinators Meetup
  • New Sale-A-Bration Selections added by Stampin' Up!

I love dramatic florals, so I'm happy today to showcase greeting cards using the very dramatic Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper .  This is one of the free Sale-A-Bration selections, Free with a $50 order.  It coordinates with the Fragrant Flowers Stamp Set and Dies Bundle from the 2023 January - April 2023 Mini Catalog.  This stamp set includes several very bold sentiments, which are stunning, however, I decided to use sentiments from the Flowering Tulips Stamp Set, which fit my needs better.  I used a color theme of Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss and Rich Razzelberry.  I used the die from the Fragrant Flowers Dies to create Fresh Freesia sentiment labels and stamped the sentiments in Rich Razzelberry.  I used both the front and back sides of one of the prints from the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper, creating a diagonal  shape for the top and bottom of my card.  I also used Blackberry Bliss Ribbon I picked up off the Clearance Rack the last time it was update, as it has been one of my all-time favorite ribbons since it was first introduced.  Two of the dies in the Fragrant Flowers dies die cut floral images from the Favored Flowers Designer Series paper, so I die cut the flowers, and popped them up on Dimensionals to accent the center of my card.  This was one of my favorite Sale-A-Bration selections from this year's selections.  You'll want to pick some up before Sale-A-Bration ends at the end of February 2023.

The basecard for today's card is Fresh Freesia Cardstock.  Then a layer of Blackberry Bliss matte under the front and back side of one of the floral prints from the Favored Flowers 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper.  I added a Blackberry Bliss Ribbon across the diagonal between the two Favored Flowers prints to hide the seam.

Next, I selected dies from the coordinating Fragrant Flowers Dies and used them to die cut some of the larger florals and leaves from other sheets of the Favored Flowers 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper.  I popped them up on Dimensionals and added the florals across the diagonal line between the two prints.

For my sentiments, I selected two different sentiments from the Flowering Tulips Stamp Set.  I die cut labels to fit my sentiment by adjusting one of the dies from the Fragrant flowers Dies.  I cut the label to size, and then I decided how much shorter to make the label based on the size of my sentiment.  I repositioned the die, feeling the die "click" into the dotted holes in the label outline.  When I ran it through my Stampin' Up! and Emboss Machine again, I was able to cut the label to the size needed for my sentiment.  I stamped the sentiment's in Rick Razzelberry in.
