I finally broke down and purchased the “Extraordinary Flora” Bundle! I’ve had my eye on this product since the release of the Annual Catalog back in May. The coordinating “Extraordinary Floral Washi Tape” has been in and out of stock since the catalog release. However, I was able to order that item on my last order for the 2025-2027 In Color Sale. While waiting for my last order to arrive, I played a bit with this great bundle.
For this card, I also incorporated the “Pressed Flowers” Embossing Folder. You can find this item in the On-Line Exclusives and not in a current catalog. HERE is my previous card where I also used this embossing folder, but in portrait as opposed to landscape. I stamped the “Extraordinary Flora” large stamp in “Black Memento Ink” and then die cut the individual pieces with the coordinating die. Actually, I colored the stamped images first before cutting them apart . They are much easier to color when still on one large piece of cardstock.
I used a narrow strip of Basic Black cardstock above and below the panel to help frame and anchor it to the folded white base. Then I used the “Stylish Shapes” Dies to cut the greeting stamped in “Black Memento Ink”. Next, the greeting was placed on “Dimensionals” and the die cut floral pieces were placed around the greeting. A small “White Baker’s Twine” Bow as added with a “Glue Dot”. The final touch was to add “Wink of Stella” to the flowers which gives them a subtle shimmer. Honestly, a super easy card as the “Pressed Flowers” Embossing Folder does the majority of the heavy lifting.
Join me next week as I have another card to share with this bundle and can’t wait to get my hands on the coordinating “Washi Tape”!
