If books and florals are your vibe, check out this cozy Thank You card in warm greens and creams!
Today’s card is from our talented designer, Amy, who is bringing cozy spring vibes with this neutral card that includes coffee, books and flowers! Amy said, “This project went through a couple different versions and I think it turned out fun with the different details. I know several friends that love to read and love their coffee, so this one’s for them”. We really do love when you have a specific person in mind when you sit down to create, you can tailor it to their personality and choose colors that reflect their preferences and tastes. I think this color palette is different from typical bright spring palettes, which sets it apart and really makes it pop, but the gorgeous design would look great any whatever colors you chose to customize it in. Follow along as Amy shows us how to use neutral colors for a cozy spring thank you card!
- First, Die cut the pieces that use the 2004 Festive Farmhouse 6×6 paper pad – 5710-01D Books and Flower, 5607-05D Coffee Posts and Cups and 5749-02D Thank You. Build the scenery with the different images.
- Choosing to go with greens, creams and tans is a great way to change up the feel of this spring design, keeping with the neutral tones makes the card feel more warm and cozy. Brighter colors tend to energize but these warm colors make us want to sink into a big fluffy chair with a book and cup of java and savor these crisp spring days!
- Next, Die cut the white panel using two different sizes from the 5013D Nested Rectangle die set.
- Then Stencil the 4208 Daisy Bloom onto the kraft cardstock panel using Basil ink. Fun tip: I used sticky notes to mask off a border.
- Layer everything on the dark green card base, building the scene outwards with the stenciled floral craft going down first, the white nested layer going on next, the book/coffee/flower vignette getting tucked on top into the corner, and finally the large Thank You sentiment layered on top.
Using neutral colors for a cozy spring card is exactly what our little crafty hearts were craving! A small change from the typical bright florals of spring, but equally as beautiful. We hope you loved this project and decided to save it and create a version of your own.
