Dainty Flowers Fresh Freesia Cards

Dainty Designs Fresh Freesia Cards

Today these Dainty Flowers Fresh Freesia Cards are basically two cards for the price of one! By that, I mean that I actually planned to make the bottom card you see above, but as I laid down that floral design on the Fresh Freesia card base, I loved the way the full piece of designer paper with that floral pattern looked so I thought I would make that card, too! Besides, both cards are super easy to make!

The Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper is one of the most popular items to choose from when you earn a free Sale-A-Bration product with a $50 purchase! But when we think of that paper, we think of the designs with more multicolored floral patterns, especially the ones you can cut apart and easily make cards, such as the oval design. For these cards, I chose one of the less popular paper patterns with purplish flowers.

Both cards use Fresh Freesia cardstock for the card bases. I cut the designer paper on the top card at the usual 5 1/4″ x 4″. I thought I would cut a portion off the bottom so I could overlap the polka dot patterned paper as I did on the bottom card. But just placing that piece of designer paper on the Fresh Freesia cardstock, I really couldn’t do anything except use it as it was! So easy! I adhered a piece of Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon across the bottom portion, adhered on the back, and then adhered the whole piece to the card base. Then I tied a separate bow and adhered it to the ribbon with Mini Glue Dots.

For the bottom card, I stuck with my original idea. The top designer paper is 5 1/4″ x 2 3/4″ and the polka dot paper is 5 1/4″ x 1 3/4″. I like the two papers to overlap a bit so I can adhere them together where they overlap, then cover the seam with a ribbon or strip of cardstock. For this card, I used the White 3/4″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon. This ribbon is so pretty anyway, but the little iridescent pink glitter in it perfectly matches this card! I tied a separate bow and adhered it to the card with Mini Glue Dots.

The top card uses a birthday greeting in the Framed Florets Stamp Set. It is stamped in Fresh Freesia ink and then diecut with the stitched circle die in the Stylish Shapes Dies. I also added a scalloped circle die in Fresh Freesia cardstock for a layer behind the greeting from the Layering Circles Dies. For a little sparkle, I added three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels, one on the birthday greeting and two in the upper corner of the card.

On the second card, I stamped another greeting also in the Framed Florets Stamp Set and die cut with a label shape in the All That Dies. This time I used my Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend marker to color three of the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels and just added them at the bottom of the greeting. This greeting is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

So there you have two card ideas, very easy ones to make at that, using the purple floral paper in the Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper!
