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

                                     

  • Stampin' Up! Cards using Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper
  • New Sale-A-Bration Selections added by Stampin' Up!
  • Special Bonuses for Signing Up as a Demonstrator during Sale-A-Bration

Here's another greeting card showcasing the dramatic Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper.  I originally thought this designer series paper wasn't for me because of the dark colors.  However, the more I played with Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper, the more I fell in love with the drama you can create with this paper.  This is one of the Sale-A-Bration selections; free with a $50 order, less tax and shipping.  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 Country Bouquet Stamp Set so I could turn my card into a friendship card.    I used a color theme of Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss and Rich Razzelberry, similar to yesterday's card.  I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut a circled of the Fresh Freesia flowers from the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper.  I used one of the sentiment label die from the Fragrant Flowers Dies to cut a Blackberry Bliss label and layered a stitched rectangle label of Fresh Freesia on top.  I stamped the sentiment in Rich Razzelberry.  I used both the front and back sides of one of the prints from the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper, and added a layer of Fresh Freesia to create interest.  Tip:  To get the most out of this Designer Series Paper, I cut the Designer Series Paper Layer, and then die cut the circle from the center of the paper.  The Fresh Freesia layer covers the die cut circle, thus extending the number of cards you can create using this print.  This turned out to be 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 Blackberry Bliss Cardstock.  Then a layer of ne of the floral prints from the Favored Flowers 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper covering the entire Blackberry Bliss basecard.  Then a Fresh Freesia Layer.  The image layer (circle), is the reverse side of the Favored Flowers Print.  Hint, to get the most cards from one piece of this print, I die cut the circle out of the Favored Flowers print, and then covered the hole using the Fresh Freesia Cardstock piece.

Next, I selected dies from the coordinating Fragrant Flowers Dies and one of the smaller Stitched Rectangle Dies, and layered them for my sentiment layer.

For my sentiments, I selected the "Just wanted to say..." sentiment from the Country Bouquet Stamp Set.  I stamped it in Rich Razzelberry ink.  Then, on the inside, I continued the sentiment with another stamp that read, "I love that we are friends."  I used a Fresh Freesia layer inside and stamped the sentiment in Rich Razzelberry.  On the card front, I added several Pastel Pearls as accents.
