This Easy Floral Card For a Friend came about because I found the paper pieces already cut to the right sizes in my cardstock and designer paper packages! I didn’t even have to think about it! Sometimes scraps and pieces you didn’t use for another project all come in handy at another time.
The Rich Razzleberry card base was already cut to 4 1/4″ x 11″ so I just scored it at 5 1/2″ and it then became a card base with the fold at the top. There’s no reason not to make cards that open at the top sometimes instead of always at the side!
The Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper is one of the prettiest we have ever had, I believe! I love that paper with its shimmer and pretty patterns. I found this designer paper already cut to almost the correct size for the card. Then I took another scrap of Whisper White and stamped the greeting from the stamp set Detailed With Love in Petal Pink Ink.
I also love the Whisper White 5/8″ Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and added it to this card with a bow. Even though the ribbon is “busy” with the polka dots and the paper is a floral print, since you can see through the ribbon it doesn’t interfere too much, I don’t think. It adds a pretty embellishment to the flowers on the paper.
For the greeting, I grabbed the leftover adhesive hearts from the January 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit and stuck on a couple of those. That little sheet of heart embellishments is one of my favorite things I have gotten in a Paper Pumpkin Kit! So cute!! I also used them on my card yesterday with some other extra pieces from the kit.
Inside the card, I added a layer of Whisper White since the Rich Razzleberry is too dark to write on. I also stamped one of the images that looks like a narrow scallop border in the Detailed With Love Stamp Set at the bottom of the Whisper White in Petal Pink Ink just to have a little something on that piece.
Sometimes take a look at your scraps and see what kind of card or project you can come up with. The result may surprise you! I made this very simple Easy Floral Card For a Friend just by finding some pieces in my scraps that were already cut and ready to go!
