For today’s love and friendship card, I used neutrals (Basic Black and Tip Top Taupe) for a sophisticated way to show off the flower from the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies. Click HERE if you have a question or comment about today’s project.
My design “blossomed” from this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO439).
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Playing favorites! My two favorite floral dies from Botanical Builder Framelits Dies both cut and score to create pretty blossoms to layer and instant dimension.
- Go Wild Designer Series Paper Stack offers the perfect pattern to pull the look together. Get the Stampin’ Up! colors for all the designer series paper collections in the annual catalog with my handy FREE chart.
- Crisp and black! The sentiment from Watercolor Wings stamp set was inked up with the Basic Black Archival Stampin’ Pad. Love it!
- I created a coordinated envelope using the Stampin’ Up! 2015-2017 In Color Envelope Paper and Envelope Punch Board.
- Hover and Pin it! Here’s a photo showing key products for today’s card that you can save or pin to Pinterest. See ALL my labeled product photos on my How to Make Simple Cards board on Pinterest.

I like to pretend its my “custom” tulip paper, Patti!
Never noticed that pattern in the stack before. Looks an awful lot like a SP tulip!

Thank you for your sweet comments. The card is perfect for my daughter, Caroline, since I cherish our morning coffee time and walks together.
Just came across your handy color chart, great idea. Thanks for taking the time to make it and share it. I usually put a sticky note inside the package to know the colors I can play with. I too like the Botanical dies, the flowers are so very pretty.
Thanks, Mary, for this beautiful card. I have the Go Wild paper stack and now more inspiration on how to use it. As Maria said, it is so elegant and stylish. Have a great day.
Such a gorgeous card, Mary! I love the combination of these colors and patterns. Love it!
PERFECTLY DONE my friend!
Oh Mary, this card is just gorgeous!!! So elegant and so stylish in those fabulous neutral colors!!
I’m still anxiously waiting for my Botanical Builder dies, they’re still in back order, I hope they can soon have enough to start sending them to us.
Thank you for sharing this gorgeous card, it just made me want to have this dies even more.
