The Lovely Arrangements Stamp/Die Bundle along with the Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper make this card feel like a paper garden party tucked into an envelope.

Soft petal pink tones and secret sea create a cozy, elegant backdrop while the Lovely Arrangements dies bring all the charm front and center. A delicate lattice die cut frames the design like a trellis, layered over bold florals and leafy prints for depth and texture. The stitched circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies and ridged frame draw your eye to the heartfelt sentiment, “Another Wonderful Year”, making it the perfect focal point for your birthday or anniversary card or any celebration worth toasting!  A few layered leaves and glossy embellishments from the Moody Pallet Glossy Dots add just the right touch of dimension and polish, like tiny drops of morning dew. The result is a beautifully balanced card that feels fresh, sophisticated, and handmade with love, perfect for celebrating.   

This designer series paper featured in this card includes 3 pages of the same design with a total of 12 sheets in the entire package.  The front sides usually have a selection of floral designs in pleasing colors and the back side has a neutral pattern in a coordinating color.  All of the beautiful Stampin’ Up! color array is listed on the back of the package.  This particular package includes Crumb Cake, Cloud Cover, Old Olive, Petal Pink, and Secret Sea.  These colors blend and coordinate beautifully together resulting in a pleasing color palette.

This card design was created for a swap that I was involved in and I thought I’d share that with all of you crafty friends.  My card base on this card starts out with Petal Pink in the portrait design.  The right side Secret Sea panel does not lift.  It is adhered to the base of the card.  The left panel is decorated with one of my very favorite sheets of the designer paper – Petal Pink and Secret Sea!!  That panel also includes the unique trellis dots focal point which is a die included in the Lovely Arrangements Stamp and Die Bundle.

 

This picture shows how the left panel lifts and the right panel is adhered to the card base.

I pulled in a couple dies from my favorite go to die sets Spotlight On Nature and Stylish Shapes.  Both of these die sets are staples in my craft room because of the nesting abilities.  

Don’t be afraid to use your favorite stamps and dies when you find a favorite cardstock or designer paper that you like.  I was looking for particular stamps for this card and pulled in another of my favorite stamp sets:  Reason to Celebrate as I wanted to be able to use this card for both anniversary and birthday but it doesn’t say birthday so I can use it for any event you want to celebrate since I chose “Another wonderful year” and “CELEBRATE” for the inside greeting!  How perfect was that combination?!!
