I can enjoy flowers all year long with the Flowers of Beauty Bundle! It includes a stamp set with lovely floral and foliage designs and coordinating dies that go perfectly with almost any project. I can stamp the flower images or as I did in this card use the dies to cut out my images for quick and easy paper elements.
Then with the Mini Corrugated Embbossing folder I can add texture. For a finishing touch, I used the Everyday Arches dies to emphasize my sentiment. Some twine and a couple of white butterflies from the etched Butterfly Bundle finish off the card.

To Assemble
- Cut your card base to measure 5-½” x 8-½” from the Basic White cardstock. Then score the card a t 4-¼”.
- With bone folder crisp the fold.
- Place the 4”x 5-¼” piece of Peach Pie in the Corrugated Embossing folder and run through the cut & Emboss machine.
- This layer can be adhered to the front of the card base.
- With the bar die from the Flowers of Beauty Bunder cut out some of the small flowers. I cut 8. You can cut these flowers out of the DSP of your choice.
- While you are at the Cut & Embossing machine cut out the arch frame that will frame your sentiment. I used the 4th and 3rd smallest dies and cut it out of a scrap of Peach Pie cardstock.
- Also with the butterfly dies that belong to the Sketched Butterflies cut two butterflies out of White cardstock. I cut one larger than the other.
- Cut a strip (¼” x 5-¼”) of Peach Pie.
- Then on the 3-¾” x 5” piece of Basic white cardstock Adhere the Peach Pie strip about 1” from the left side.
- To the right of the Peach Pie strip with the Memento Ink stamp, the sentiment “Hello” (from the Everyday Arches Stamp set).
- Then adhere the Arch frame around the sentiment.
- You can tie a twine bow for added interest.
- To the left of the Peach Pie strip adhere the small flowers.
- Then adhere this white layer onto the corrugated layer.
- Then add the butterflies and embellishments.
- You can decorate the inside of the card with flowers and a strip of the Peach Pie cardstock.
- You can add a sentiment inside or a personal message.
- All that is left to do is place the card in the medium envelope and mail or hand deliver the card to your chosen recipient.
