Two Charming Cards with the Floral Charm Suite Collection

Two Charming Cards with the Floral Charm Suite Collection

Two Cards with the Floral Charm Suite Collection by Stampin Up! Laura Milligan

During my most recent Facebook Live, I had so much fun creating these two pretty cards featuring the Floral Charm Suite Collection. This suite is filled with gorgeous florals, coordinating dies, and the most beautiful designer paper that makes creating a breeze! I love how each card shows off the versatility of this collection—from the soft floral backgrounds to the bold die-cut accents. Whether you need a sweet “Hey” card to brighten someone’s day or a thoughtful “You Made My Day” card, the Floral Charm Suite has you covered!

I love the softess of this first card – and the color combination- pulled from the Designer Series Paper (DSP).  Colors used are Berry Burst and Pecan Pie.  The die cut flower set in front of the circles, creates a lovely focal point.  The “hey” sentiment is lighthearted and fun! Who wouldn’t smile when receiving this card!   The gems in this suite are equally as gorgeous –  Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots – they really do shimmer! This card will go together quickly –  just a  few panels, a few punched circles and the flower.   I have shared all the measurements in my LIVE, – along with my favorite ruler!

Next – if you are a blue lover, like me, this card is for you!  I love the subtle DSP – the navy tone on tone, used in the background – and then the pops of color with the coordinating DSP.  The large floral image in white, to me, is swoon worthy!
