Lovely Arrangements in Granny Apple Green

Lovely Arrangements Bundle + Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder + Spotlight on Nature Dies

 This weeks Monochromatic Insta Hop featured color is Granny Apple Green! I've used the Lovely Arrangements Bundle to create this card. Granny Apple Green is a fresh and vibrant green that works well by itself or mixes well with other greens. I love this color and I reach for it often.  To see the original post on Instagram, click HERE.

I love the Lovely Arrangements Bundle!  It is beautiful to create with just a few blossoms or with several blossoms.  Today I wanted to create a card that bursts forth with this springy green, so I chose to use more.

I stamped the blossom with Tuxedo Black ink, then used my Stampin' Blends to color the flowers.  You will find all the details below.

Petals of Beauty Just a Note Card

 

Petals of Beauty Dies + Lovely Arrangements Stamp Set + Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder

Today I am participating in the Crafty Collaborations March Crafty Challenge Blog Hop!  This month we are working with a sketch challenge.  Be sure to click on the live blog links lower in this post to see everyone's version of this sketch challenge.

March 2026

t drives me crazy if I buy craft supplie and then get a chance to use them.  So this card was designed around the Balmy Blue 1/4" Gingham Ribbon that I hadn't touched in 2 months!  LOL!!  This Gingham ribbon reminds me of the pastel gingham dresses that my Mom made for my sister and I for Easter.  Good memories and I loved that dress!


The Lovely Stripes embossing folder is such a great background!  I love it here paired with the gingham ribbon.   When creating the Bubble Bath flowers, I applied adhesive sheet to the back of the cardstock before cutting out the detail layer.  Then I used the Dark Bubble Bath Stampin' Blend to color just the detail layer so that it popped against the base of the flower.  Added the white Pearls of Beauty for the centers.

Beautiful Gallery Friend Card

 

Everyday Arches Dies + Wood Grain Wonders DSP + Beautiful Gallery DSP

I have created today's card as a participant in the Share It Sunday Blog Hop.  I've used the Wood Grain Wonders DSP to create a frame around a scene from the Beautiful Gallery DSP.


Detail view

The hardest part of designing this card was to decide how wide I wanted the arched frame to be.  If you need a quick card, this layout would be extremely easy to swap out DSPs or color to fit your need.

  • Sentiment label contrast ends - DSP: scrap, use smallest of the longer banner dies to cut.
