Framed Florets Blue & Pink Christmas Card

Framed Florets Blue & Pink Christmas Card

For something different, I used the Fitting Florets paper to make this Christmas card with its nontraditional colors! Some of us are still making Christmas cards and getting them ready to mail so here is another idea perhaps you can use!

This Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper is available through January 4, 2023, as part of the early release of the Framed Florets Bundle which will be in the upcoming Spring Mini Catalog in January. Some of the papers are florals and others have more generic patterns. Then some have patterns that you can use for Christmas cards without looking Christmasy!

One of the coordinating colors of this designer paper is Balmy Blue so I used that for the card base. That’s almost all you need for this card – just the card base, the designer paper layer, and the greeting! This pattern in the Fitting Florets Designer Paper looks particularly appropriate for Christmas with its foliage and pinkish berries. I chose another pattern and cut out some of the blue flowers and foliage to add to the greeting.

The greeting is stamped with the fun stamp set, also an extra product with the Framed Florets Suite, the Framed & Festive Stamp Set, available until Jan. 4th. This is a Christmas greeting set with a fun font and sayings. I stamped the greeting in Polished Pink ink on Basic White and die-cut it with one of the oval frames in the Framed Florets Dies. Next, I used the same die with Polished Pink cardstock to get the pink frame around the oval greeting.

For some embellishment, I used the Metallic Mesh Ribbon. I adhered that behind the designer paper and the greeting, then tied a separate bow with two pieces of ribbon and adhered it with Glue Dots. And of course, I had to add some Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the greeting!

Framed Florets Silver Frame Birthday Card

Framed Florets Silver Frame Birthday Card

The more I work with the new Fitting Florets Collection, the more I love it! You can do so much with the pretty designer paper, the more subtle patterns like this card front, and the florals to use as accents and embellishments.

This card starts with a card base of Balmy Blue to match the pretty designer paper in the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. I used the Framed Florets Dies to cut out this beautiful oval frame from the silver foil paper in the Silver Foil Specialty Pack. Then I cut the same oval frame with Basic White cardstock so I could have the center of the oval be white. The center white oval is stamped with a birthday greeting from the Framed Florets Stamp Set in Balmy Blue ink.

You can purchase the Framed Florets Dies and the Framed Florets Stamp Set separately, or you can buy them together in the Framed Florets Bundle and save 10%. Do you notice something in that sentence?? From this Spring Catalog forward, Stampin’ Up! will give the stamps, dies, and bundle all the same name!! Now we won’t have to try to remember the different name of the dies that went with a certain stamp set and was the bundle name the same or different??

Did you know that the flowers you see in the lower right corner of the oval frame can be die-cut from the designer paper?! I fussy cut another extra flower to pop up on top of the diecut, but it is nice that one grouping of flowers at least can be diecut!

The group of flowers on the top left of the silver frame were fussy-cut from the designer paper and even altered a bit to fit in that spot and not interfere with the stamped greeting. Plus one extra flower popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals for some more texture.

For just a little more pizzazz, I added three Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels on the center oval.

You could make this same card with many other greetings in that center oval. I think that is why florals are so popular because they are so useful. You can use them for birthdays, sympathy cards, or just any card that you want to be beautiful for a special person and reason.

While this Framed Florets Bundle will continue to be available in the January – July 2023 Mini Catalog (the Spring Mini), from now until January 4, 2023 (or while supplies last) is the only time you can purchase the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper and the Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls. There is also the Christmas greeting stamp set included in the Collection, Framed & Festive, that is also only available now until Jan. 4th. If you need a Christmas greeting stamp set, I recommend this one!
