Stamped in Ink: Lovely Arrangements

Hi friends, this card just made me happy from the very first layer. I started with a simple Crumb Cake card base and a layer of Basic White, and from there, it just kept getting better and better.

I knew I wanted to play with the Lovely Arrangements Bundle and that gorgeous Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper, so I started building from the background up. The eyelet die? Stop it. I added that to the top half in Crumb Cake, and it instantly gave the card that soft, detailed texture I love. Then I paired it with a piece of the Designer Series Paper on the bottom—such a pretty combo.

Of course, I had to add a little something to bring it all together, so I used the circle die plate and trimmed it down to create a border across the middle. It’s one of those little details that really make everything feel finished

Then came the Secret Sea ribbon. I’m in love with it. I wrapped it around the center and let those scalloped edges peek out just a bit. It adds the sweetest touch without overpowering everything else.

The flowers are where it really came to life. I stamped them in Secret Sea and softly colored the centers with Cloud Cover ink. Just that tiny bit of shading makes such a difference. I tucked in some Old Olive leaves for a color contrast.

For the sentiment, I kept it simple with “Hello Friend” on a strip of Basic White, trimmed at an angle. I added a small piece of Seacresty behind it so it wouldn’t get lost—those little layers matter.

And you know I couldn’t forget the inside! I added a strip of that same Designer Series Paper to tie everything together. It’s such an easy way to make the card feel complete.

To finish it off, I added a few Seacresty In Color flat pearls—and that was it. Done. And honestly… I’m in love with how it turned out.
