Use Bold Colors for an Encouragement Card that Wows

Looking for a fun color pallet for your next card that is sure to send encouraging vibes? This floral creation is so beautiful and just what you’ve been looking for.

Today Donna has a stunning card design for us using bold colors and sweet sentiments. Donna said, “I love having a little stash of ready-made cards on hand for friends who may need a bit of extra love or encouragement.” We love these deep maroons paired with these muted teals all set against a soft pink background. It’s such a fun color combo and makes this card feel elegant and whimsical. Check out these steps to see how to recreate this card from home!

  • I began this card by choosing a bold color palette. Inspiration truly comes from everywhere, in everyday places, even children’s books (preschool teacher life!).
  • Next, I did all of the die-cutting from colored cardstock using the following products from the shop: 5808-02D Build A Bloom Clematis Die, 5508-03D Stackable Flowers/Leaves #3, and 5404D Branches and Leaves Die.
  • I set those elements aside and moved on to the background by die-cutting a light pink piece of cardstock with the 5810D Basket Weave Cover Die.
  • For the sentiment, I die-cut the word “HUGS” from dark brown cardstock using the 5140-01D Upper Case Alpha with Stitch Die.
  • I paired it with a partial sentiment from 35015 Birthday Celebration Stamp Set, stamping only the portion I wanted by masking the rest.
  • Once all the elements were ready, I played around with placement until everything felt just right, then secured the pieces using liquid adhesive and glue dots.
  • To finish, I adhered the entire panel onto a clean white card base for a soft, polished look.
