Sending Love with Simply Beautiful Dies

All good things must come to an end, and today I’m sharing the fifth (and final) project created with a simple layout I designed for the Royal Stamp & Share call I hosted for my team members last week. I’ll include links to the other four cards at the end of this post, but for now, let’s take a closer look at today’s beautiful card.

This card features a stunning white-and-gold-foil panel from the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper. Every page in this pack is an absolute joy – incredible patterns, beautiful colors, and plenty of “oooohs” and “aaaahs” as you flip through. I chose a page without added color, which really helps spotlight the gorgeous flower at the heart of the card.

Here’s a look at the colors and patterns included in the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper.

The flower was created using the builder dies from the Simply Beautiful Dies. I used one solid base layer, two of the largest petals, and two of the second-largest petals. The base layer is cut from Petal Pink cardstock, while the petals are die cut from Petal Pink Two-Tone Cardstock. I used the darker side of the paper for the bottom layers and the lighter side for the top layers, creating subtle dimension and tonal variation.

Here’s a closer look at the flower on the card:

And here’s a look at the Simply Beautiful Bundle:

The sentiment comes from January’s Special Delivery Paper Pumpkin Kit – I’ll be sharing some alternative projects using this kit next week. To finish the card with another touch of elegance, I added three gold Flower Accents for a final pop of shine.

Last Thoughts

This layout was such a fun one to explore across different products and styles. Ending the series with a neutral, elegant card felt just right – proof that simple designs paired with beautiful paper and thoughtful layering can truly shine.
