Hello friends. I grew up in our family floral business and learned how to arrange florals from my favorite florist, my mom! I often use those techniques to arrange florals on my cards, too. For example, the rule of threes, repetition, contrast, etc. Today’s card shares those simple rules of arrangement. I’m using the following products by Honey Bee Stamps:

Lovely Layers: Mini Holiday Florals – Honey Cuts dies

Thinking Of You Big Time – 6×8 Stamp Set

Thinking Of You Big Time – Honey Cuts dies

Grab Your Passport 6″ X 8″ Paper Pad

For the basics… my featured project below is made from Neenah 80lb Solar White cardstock for the card base. All of the black ink stamping was done using Honey Bee’s Bee Creative Intense Black Ink. I use Honey Bee Stamps Bee Creative Precision Glue and for when I want more dimension, Bee Creative Foam Dots With Tab for adhering my elements together. My blender brushes (large and small) are a must for ink blending color on the background, too. For white highlights, I use my white Gelly Roll pen. My card is 5″ X 7″ in size.

To create this 5″ X 7″ card, I chose a piece of pattern paper from the Grab Your Passport 6″ X 8″ Paper Pad for the card front background. Next, I die cut the florals and greenery using the Lovely Layers: Mini Holiday Florals – Honey Cuts dies. The larger three blossoms were cut from watercolor paper. I used Copic markers to highlight areas of the petals (YR31, YR15, Y19). The rest of the florals and greenery were cut from colored cardstock. I kept the colors fairly muted and wintery. The three larger blossoms were attached using Bee Creative Foam Dots With Tab. The rest of the stems were attached using Honey Bee Stamps Bee Creative Precision Glue.

I stamped the “thinking of you” phrase from the Thinking Of You Big Time – 6×8 Stamp Set using Bee Creative Intense Black Ink on white cardstock. I cut out the letters using the Thinking Of You Big Time – Honey Cuts dies. I attached the words using foam tabs cut into thin strips to fit the scripted letter widths. I attached the card front to the card base. Lastly, I attached Holiday Wishes gem stickers to match the florals. This card would be a beautiful sympathy, get well and/or encouragement card.
