Textured Notes

March 12, 2025

This is the card that I planned for my Wake Up Wednesday video today. This card uses the beautiful Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper, Memorable Blooms Dies and Textured Notes Dies. Accents of Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss and Basic White.

However, this is the one I started with when I was deciding what to do.  This is Basic Gray, Basic White and Notes and Woven Textures Designer Series Paper. The image is stamped in Smoky Slate and colored with Old Olive and Gray Watercolor Pencils and blended with a Blender Pen.

This one was also made using Crumb Cake for the card base adding Basic White, Crumb Cake & Pebbled Path accents. The stems were cut from Charming Duck Pond Dies. The designer series paper came from Woven Textures. Adding a little of the 2023-25 In Color dots and a knot from the Pebbled path ribbon was a perfect finish

This one is a little more feminine using the same products. For this one I used Moody Mauve for the card base and the Designer Series Paper is Timeless Plaid. I love this plaid it covers such a variety of occasions.  On this one I used a retired paper for two of the stems.  One is cut from Vellum (retired), one from Moody Mauve and the last one is cut from what I believe is Powder Pink (retired). I used the Silver & White Sheer Ribbon for my bow and added the Clear & Pecan Pie Ribboned Dots.

My final card with this layout is my favorite.  As I was getting ready for my FB Live I was cleaning off my desk.  I had played with the Storybook Garden Bundle the day before and this pot was laying on my desk.  It was colored with Calypso Coral light then highlighted with Cajun Craze. I also had the stems laying on my desk. When the others were cut from the Charming Duck Pond dies these were left.  I had cut the DSP from Woven Textures to try to use on a card.  The Crumb Cake card base was left from the other card.  This is my favorite one.

If you love interactive cards, you're going to enjoy this elegant Peek-A-Boo Slider Card! At first glance, the rich botanical pattern from the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper takes center stage with its deep greens, delicate ferns, and warm golden blossoms. But with one simple pull, a hidden surprise is revealed, making this card as fun to open as it is beautiful to display. For this design, I paired the gorgeous Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper with Mossy Meadow and Golden Glow cardstock to bring out the rich colors in the paper. The layered circular slider creates the perfect focal point, revealing the "Thinking of You" at first glance

The detailed flowers and leaves, cut with the Radiant Sunflowers Bundle, are arranged on a Cajun Craze stitched circle and framed by a large circular opening for added depth and dimension. Very Vanilla cardstock softens the rich color palette, while a delicate Baker's Twine bow and coordinating embellishments provide the finishing touches. The “Happiest Birthday Wishes!” greeting makes this card perfect for celebrating someone special!

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!
