There’s something timeless about a soft green and white colour palette. Fresh, graceful, and effortlessly elegant, it’s the perfect combination for a Congratulations card designed to celebrate life’s special moments.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creation.

Design Inspiration

For today’s card, I created a classic layered design featuring delicate die-cut details, soft texture, and a beautiful satin ribbon bow for the finishing touch. The gentle green tones bring a sense of calm sophistication, while crisp white layers keep the design clean and refined.

The focal point is a simple yet elegant sentiment, framed with decorative elements that add dimension without overwhelming the design. A luxurious satin bow softens the overall look and adds just the right amount of charm.

This style of card would be perfect for weddings, engagements, anniversaries, new homes, graduations, or any occasion worth celebrating.

I love ‘twofor’ cards where I can make two cards out of one lot of die cutting. A little while ago I made a card using the Amazing Paper Grace December 2020 Die of the Month – Rose Garden Promise – you can see it here. I die cut the die set out of gold cardstock and just used the gold inlay pieces on the frame for that card but I still had the frame and the rest of the inlay rose and leaf pieces left over. So it was so easy to create a second card using these pieces and some flowers left over from another project. The result was an elegant congratulations card that was so quick and easy to make and so easy to post as well.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.

My Project

For my project I made a top folding 5″ x 7″ card base out of white cardstock and then I added a piece of 5″ x 7″ cream cardstock to the front of the card.

I added the gold frame and the gold leaves and roses inlays from the Amazing Paper Grace December 2020 Die of the Month – Rose Garden Promise to the front of the card.

I die cut three sentiments from the Amazing Paper Grace March 2020 Die of the Month March 2020 Elegant Infinity Etched Dies – two from cream cardstock and one from gold cardstock. These were stacked together with the gold die on top and then added to the centre of the frame as shown.

I die cut the flourish from the Amazing Paper Grace December 2020 Die of the Month – Rose Garden Promise out of gold cardstock and trimmed it in half before adding the flourish to both sides of the sentiment.

The flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Happily Ever After Die set were die cut out of ivory pearl card and added over the flourish. To finish the card I added a gold pearl to the centres of the flowers.
