This hourglass card shape is not only unusual but it stands up on its own. The image floats as this pop up card provides a stunning bow card feature.

This pop up bow card is easy to create using your trimmer or ruler, a pencil and a pair of scissors. Start with scrap cardstock and stamp right along with me. Don’t miss the free project sheet linked below which also contains a template for this fancy fold card.

I’ve paired the flowers with the Bloom Boutique Designer Series Paper. The gold foil accents in this pattern paper provide a beautiful shimmery detail that’s not overwhelming. It’s perfect for adding gold foil accents to the center of your flowers.

Life in Bloom

I’m totally obsessed with black and white designer papers! You can use them plain or color them however you like. Use blending brushes, sponge daubers, Stampin’ Blends Markers, or colored pencils – whatever you’ve got – and you can get the perfect color for your project without buying a bunch of different papers.

greeting card making ideas

I kept the color palette on this card simple using the Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Papers as they are. The black and white provides a striking background to the Hydrangea Hue accents in the pot and flowers. This stunning color is another of the new In Colors you won’t want to miss adding to your collection.
