Framed Florets Thank You Card

Posted on November 15, 2022November 4, 2022 by Mo Rootes

The Framed Florets stamp set and co-ordinating Dies are out on my desk at the moment and I used them to make a pretty Framed Florets thank you card,

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the framed florets thank you card, you will need:

Evening Evergreen card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Balmy Blue card – 5½” by 3¾”
Fitting Florets dsp – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Basic White card – 4¼” by 3¼”
Basic White – ¼” strip
Scrap Basic White and Distressed Gold

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the Fitting Florets dsp to the Balmy Blue panel. I used the same liquid glue to add the panel to the Evening Evergreen card base.

The pretty frame was die cut from the 4¼” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card. It was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

A sprig from the Framed Florets Dies was die cut from the Distressed Gold card and cut down to give me two pieces. I then added the flowers and leaves around the frame using a combination of liquid glue and Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Inspiring Thoughts stamp set was stamped in Evening Evergreen on the thin strip of Basic White. I had used a Post It Note to mask off the words I didn’t want to use. I trimmed the sentiment down and flagged the end and added it to the card front.

The stitched circle was lying on my desk, left over from another project and had been die cut, using the Stylish Shapes Dies and a 3¼” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card.

I inked the grass using a Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker and the fox using a Cajun Craze Stampin’ Write Marker. I huffed on the stamp to re-moisten the ink and stamped down on the circle. I repeated the re-inking to get a darker image. I used a water Painter to blend out the ink n the fox and set it to dry.
