There’s something so satisfying about combining rich textures, delicate die cuts, and a bold focal point—and this card brings all of that together beautifully. Today I’m sharing a card design featuring the Scalloped Wishes Dies and coordinating stamps for this week’s TGIF Inspiration Challenge.
I started with a Secret Sea cardstock base to create a strong, dramatic foundation. To add visual interest without overwhelming the design, I used the 3D Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder, which I lightly sponged with some White Craft Ink.
To frame everything, I added a thin layer of soft yellow cardstock just inside the card base. That little pop of color helps tie in the floral accents later and adds a polished, finished look.
The star of the show is the dragonfly, cut from Balmy Blue cardstock. Its airy, open design adds movement and lightness against the richer background tones. I love how it draws your eye right to the center of the card.
To complement the dragonfly, I added some flowers and greenery using more of the Scalloped Wishes dies … which are sooo good!
A simple bow using Early Espresso Baker’s Twine adds a touch of texture and keeps the overall look grounded and organic.
The sentiment, “for you,” is stamped and embossed in white on a small, fussy cut piece of Early Espresso cardstock, tying it back to the focal layer. I tucked in a bit of textured ribbon behind the sentiment for added interest and dimension.
