📝 Project Overview

This card has a storybook finish, from the lush foliage background to the glimmering flower centers and green foiled-edged frame.

🧭 Step-by-Step Instructions

Base Layers

Cut a piece of dark green cardstock down to A2 size (4.25" x 5.5") to use as your card front. Line the edges with light green pinstripe peel-offs for a polished look that complements the leafy patterned paper.

Ceate the Frame

Die cut a large scalloped rectangle frame from white cardstock. Then, cut a rounded rectangle panel from the leafy patterned paper to nest inside it.

Assemble the Window

Die cut the window frame from white cardstock. Trim a piece of dark green cardstock to fit neatly behind it to simulate “curtains.” This adds a moody contrast to the white die cut.

Add the Floral Touch

Die cut the leafy branch and flowers from white cardstock. Use a small sponge dauber to lightly apply shimmer pink ink to the flowers. Add Nuvo drops to the centers of the flowers and let dry.

Build the Floral Cluster

Adhere two small and one large flower to the leafy branch die cut. Attach this floral element to the bottom of the window frame.

Assembly Time

Pop up the entire window using foam tape, and center it onto the leafy patterned panel.

Sentiment & Finishing Touches

Stamp the sentiment “and they lived happily ever after. The End.” in white pigment ink onto the lower portion of the patterned panel and heat emboss with white embossing powder for a crisp, elegant look.

🖼 Final Assembly

Adhere the scalloped white frame onto the base green cardstock. Then attach the patterned panel with the raised window and sentiment inside the frame. The shimmer, greenery, and delicate shapes come together beautifully.

💬 Closing Thoughts

This card feels like the closing page of a fairy tale—romantic, timeless, and beautifully framed. With all the detail in the window die and the soft shimmer of the flowers, it makes a perfect keepsake card for a special couple or milestone celebration.
