I’ve always loved a vintage look on a card, and I’m a huge fan of texture elements—so when I saw the Botanical Textures Suite Collection, I was instantly in love!
The Textured Notes Dies are one of my favorite features of this suite. Each rectangle has a unique edge design, adding beautiful variation and interest to the layout.
For this set of cards, I experimented with all the designs in the Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack, changing up the back layer to either Basic White or Early Espresso, depending on what best complemented the DSP.
Instead of using the embellishments from the suite, I opted for Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Dots, simply because I had so many on hand. However, the Neutral Matte Dots would also be a great choice!
One of my favorite details is the basket weave stamp from the set—it’s too good not to use! I stamped it on the inside of the card and even on the envelope for a cohesive, finished look.
This collection has so many possibilities, and I can’t wait to create more with it!
Cardstock Cuts for this project:
- Pecan Pie – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4 card base
- Basic White – 5-1/4″ x 4″ inside panel, 5-1/4′ x 5″ panel (half the cards have this layer), 3-3/4″ x 3/4″ for Label Die, 4-1/4″ x 3″ for Rectangle Die
- Early Espresso – 5-1/4′ x 5″ panel (half the cards have this layer)
- Woven Textures DSP – 5″ x 3-3/4″ Panel
