Elegant Simplicity: A Floral Spray Anniversary Card

Sometimes the most stunning cards are the ones that let a single technique do all the talking. This Happy Anniversary card is a perfect example — clean, elegant, and absolutely breathtaking in its simplicity, thanks to the gorgeous Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder.

The Front of the Card

The soft, tonal beauty of this card comes from embossing Basic White cardstock with the Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder. The raised floral design catches the light beautifully, creating depth and dimension without the need for a single drop of ink or color on the panel itself. It's one of those techniques that looks incredibly sophisticated yet is wonderfully achievable.

The sentiment — "happy anniversary" — is stamped in Basic Black ink from the retired Blooming Phrases stamp set. The flowing script style sits beautifully along the lower portion of the card, grounding the design with an elegant, handwritten feel.

Silver Foil cardstock, peeks out ever so subtly along the bottom edge of the embossed panel, adding just a whisper of shimmer and a touch of contrast that frames the design perfectly.

To finish the front, a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels are scattered across the embossed panel, nestled among the flowers — like tiny dewdrops catching the light. They add just the right amount of sparkle without competing with the texture of the embossing.

The Inside of the Card

Open the card and you're greeted with a heartfelt sentiment from the Phrases and Frames stamp set, stamped in Basic Black on a clean Basic White panel:

"Anniversaries are for celebrating the joys of today, the memories of yesterday, and the hopes of tomorrow."

The mix of uppercase block lettering with italic script accents on the key words — joys, memories, and hopes — gives the inside an expressive, meaningful feel that perfectly complements the understated elegance of the card's exterior.

A Few Tips

Run your Basic White cardstock through the embossing folder slowly and evenly to get a crisp, full impression from the Floral Spray folder — there's a lot of detail to capture!
The Silver Foil added to the card base is subtle but impactful. Even a 1/8" border peeking out makes a big difference in elevating the overall look.
This card works beautifully for any anniversary — wedding, work milestone, or friendship — just swap out the front sentiment!

A huge thank you to Rachel Brumley for the inspiration behind this design. I love how a card this simple can feel so refined and special. It's a wonderful reminder that sometimes less truly is more.

Dreamy Dragonflies and Botanicals with the Scalloped Wishes Bundle

Today I'm sharing a birthday card and coordinating name tag that showcase just how versatile the Scalloped Wishes Bundle truly is. From the delicate lacework details to the fussy cut vellum florals, this set has so much to offer!

For the card front, I started with a Basic White cardstock base and covered it with the Berry Botanicals Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper. The soft lavender grid pattern on this vellum is just dreamy, and it sets the perfect tone for the whole design. Delicate dragonflies from the Scalloped Wishes stamp set were stamped in Secret Sea ink and scattered across the background, adding a whimsical, garden-in-summer feel. A few Sunset Sparkle Sequins were added throughout for a subtle, sparkling finish.

The sentiment label is where things really come together. I stamped the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set in Bubble Bath ink, then added the intricate lace border detail from the Scalloped Wishes stamp set, also in Bubble Bath, around the outer edge of the label. The label was cut out using the Scalloped Wishes die, and the inner detailed oval was cut from Bubble Bath Pastel Shimmer Specialty Paper using the detailed Scalloped Wishes die, giving it that gorgeous layered, doily-like look.

To finish the focal piece, I fussy cut flowers from the Berry Botanicals Vellum Specialty DSP and adhered them onto the sentiment label using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. A touch of Wink of Stella on the flower centers adds just the right sparkle and dimension. The whole bouquet clusters beautifully to the left of the sentiment, creating a lush, layered floral arrangement.

Inside the card, I kept things coordinated and elegant. The sentiment from the Framed All Around stamp set was stamped in Bubble Bath ink, and more dragonflies from the Scalloped Wishes stamp set were added in Secret Sea ink to carry the theme throughout.

Now let's talk about the name tag, because this little beauty shows just how many possibilities the Scalloped Wishes Bundle opens up!

Using Basic White cardstock as the base, I cut the scalloped oval shape and layered it with Hydrangea Hue 2026-2028 In-Color Pearlized Specialty Paper for a soft, pearlized glow. The dot border detail was stamped in Hydrangea Hue ink to frame the design beautifully. The name "PAM" was cut using the Mini Alphabet dies from the Hydrangea Hue Pearlized Specialty Paper, giving the letters a lovely shimmery finish. Fussy cut vellum florals from the Berry Botanicals DSP were clustered on the left side of the tag, tying it perfectly back to the card it accompanies.

Whether you're making a full card or a little coordinating gift tag, the Scalloped Wishes Bundle delivers stunning results every single time. I hope this inspires you to pull yours out and get creating!
