Beautiful Bouquet Thank You

August 13, 2017

Have you ever made a card and stepped back to look at it and said it just doesn’t do it for me? I have many times. I had a friend who told me when that happens, put the card where you will see it for several days and either it will grow on you, you will realize what it needs or at the end of the three days throw it away! I made this card and looked at it for three days before I could figure out why it wasn’t what I wanted. When the three days were over I realized, the fix was simple . . .

it needed the ribbon and the flowers.

There’s something about sunflowers and warm fall colors that makes a card feel extra cheerful! I love how this fun fold design creates several different areas to showcase the beautiful Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper while still keeping those sweet sunflowers front and center. The rich Early Espresso card base pairs beautifully with the Cajun Craze and floral patterns, while the Cajun Craze vases and green leaves add just the right pop of color. The two die-cut sunflowers really bring the card to life, and the simple “Hello, Friend” greeting makes this a wonderful card to send for almost any occasion. A few little embellishments from the 2026-28 In Color Gems scattered around the card add just a touch of sparkle without taking away from all those gorgeous fall colors. This is one of those cards that looks impressive when it’s standing up, but is much easier to create than you might think!

If you're looking for a fun fold that makes a beautiful impression, this elegant Center Step Card is the perfect project! The dimensional design creates a wonderful display for the gorgeous Bloom Boutique Designer Series Paper, while the soft, feminine color palette makes it ideal for sending a thoughtful note to someone special. For this card, I paired Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock with touches of Gold Foil to add warmth and elegance. The decorative gold frame draws your eye to the center of the card, where two large layered blooms become the focal point. The flower centers were die-cut from the 2026–2028 In Color Painted Patterns Designer Series Paper, adding subtle texture and coordinating color, while the Peaceful Pine leaves provide the perfect contrast against the delicate blooms. The heartfelt "Thinking of You" greeting from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack completes the design beautifully, making this card perfect for letting a friend or loved one know they're in your thoughts. With its eye-catching center step construction, elegant gold accents, and gorgeous floral details, this is a card that's just as much fun to display as it is to create.
