Here's a Card Idea for You Combining Stampin' Up!s Alphabet Ala Mode Letter Dies with the Sale-a- Bration Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper

If you were one of the ones to get a free package of Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper when you placed a qualifying order during the January-February 2023 Sale-a-Bration consider yourself very lucky. This gorgeous paper flew out of the Stampin' Up! warehouse and was out of stock pretty quickly.

It is extremely gorgeous and I can understand why everyone wanted some. 

Here is a Hello Card I made recently that brings together a lot of wonder items to make a show-stopper card. So if you happen to have some Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper, follow along for this card idea!

Supplies:

Mossy Meadow Cardstock cut 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"

Stitched Greenery Die

Cardstock Vellum 4 1/8" x 5-3/8" - flip die cut paper over so texture shows as front side  (Hint - only apply adhesive underneath where the floral oval will go so adhesive won't show on the outer edges of the vellum.)

Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper - one of the preprinted floral ovals

Deckled Rectangle Dies - use the second to the largest die

Dimensionals to raise up the Floral Oval layer from the Vellum.

Retired Love You Always Foil Sheets from Spring Mini 2021 Catalog - foil piece about 2 1/2" x 4"

Alphabet Ala Mode Dies

Adhesive Sheet - piece about 2 1/2" x 4"

Linen Thread and/or Retired Mossy Meadow Baker's Twine for bow

Glue Dots to attach the bow

Basic White Cardstock for inner layer 4" x 5-1/4"
Medium Basic White Envelope

Coordinating 2 3/8" x 6" piece of Mossy Meadow Designer Series Paper for exterior envelope flap (suggesting using Neutrals 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper collection)

Alphabet Ala Mode Dies

Hint for working with these skinny letter dies. Apply a piece of adhesive sheets to the back of the foil and it will be much easier to apply the cut out letters with adhesive already attached to the card front.

Timeless Tulips in Spring

Tulips are a part of Spring, that's for sure. Where I live in Washington State, we have an area called Mount Vernon, that has several large tulip farms. Tourists flock there each April to view the pretty blooms. It is quite spectacular! Google it and see for yourself!

This card was inspired by Nancy Novak, but I changed it up a bit.

This card design has so many possibilities - Birthday, Mother's Day, Hello, Thinking of You, Get Well and what else can you think of?

Cutting Dimensions in inches:

Petal Pink Card base - 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4

Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper - 2 x 5-1/4

First Basic White Layer - 4 x 5-1/4 and another for inner card layer

Petal Pink piece before die cut - 3-1/4 x 4-5/8

Stamped on Basic White Layer before die cut - 3 x 4-1/8

Hello tag - 3/8 x 4

Basic White Strip for the 3 tulips - 1-1/2 by 8-1/2

Helpful Construction Hints:

1. Die Cut the Basic White prior to stamping the stems and leaves.

2. Tie ribbon in a knot first, then tie the bow. Easier to handle. 

3. Stamp the tulips on the narrow strip. Punch one out, tear or cut off remaining frame and continue to second tulip and so on. This is a more efficient way than wasting the white cardstock by punching leaves you won't need.

4. After making and tying the Hello tag, do secure it down with a mini dimensional to the card front.

Here's My Online Store Shopping List Link for most of the Products Used

Please Note:

There were a few retired products used in this card, but you can definitely substitute what you like.  Retired items include: Rococo Rose Ink pad for the tulips, Striped Ribbon, Word Window Punch for the Hello tag, and 1/8" hole punch.

Don't forget to decorate your envelope and your card liner. Gives it a classy look!

Enjoy making this springy card!
