Two-Tone Flora Card Class, Card 3

I have been enjoying all the flowers in the Two-Tone Flora Bundle this week. For the last card from my Weekly Card Class From ME, Two-Tone Flora With Love, I added hearts to my flowers for a perfect love themed card.

Love That Packs A Punch

I love cardmaking and rubber stamping! I also love using lots of different products on my cards. Besides the Two-Tone Flora Stamp Set and Two-Tone Flora Dies, I chose a few punches to help make this card over the top amazing.

HEART PUNCH PACK

While the new Country Bouquet Punch is not currently available due to back-order issues, you can depend upon the Heart Punch Pack in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog by Stampin’ Up! to take care of your punched heart needs.

I adore that this is a 2-pack of punches. These punches work perfectly together, with the scallop edge heart slightly larger than the classic shaped heart. In my Two-Tone Flora With Love Card, I layered them together as such. Of course, they can be used separately too!

BOUGH PUNCH

The Bough Punch is probably my favorite and most reached for punch right now. I think adding a few leaves or sprigs to cards is classic and a great way to achieve an artful look. Check out how I used this punch in a completely masculine card here!

And I find that using a punch in papercrafting is a quick and easy solution to adding extra elements in. In this Two-Tone Flora With Love Card, I punched leaves in White Cardstock to add some brightness to the pink and red majority color palette.

Stamp, Emboss, Embellish

This gorgeous Two-Tone Flora With Love Card is bursting with sweet crafting techniques. From the two-step stamping to create flowers using the Two-Tone Flora Stamp Set, to the background stamping technique on the card base, it is easy to add similar ink colors to achieve a cohesive design.

There are other design elements on this card that bring it together too: the Elegant Eucalyptus Embossing Folder, the Gold Fine Shimmer Paper, and the Gold Shimmer Ribbon all play an important part. I finished off my card with the 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots (which happens to be my FREE gift to you with a $50 order using my Host Code this week, along with the card kits from this class!).

The Two-Tone Flora Bundle

There are a lot of great things about the Two-Tone Flora Bundle. Let’s break down the stamp set and the dies…

Two-Tone Flora Stamp Set

The Two-Tone Flora Stamp Set is all about the flowers! Now, there are a couple of leafy options, but other than that, just flowers. No sentiments. No other imagery.

And these aren’t just any flowers. They are two-step photopolymer stamps. That means you use 2 different stamps to create one rich looking image, by overlaying the ink cohesively. During my weekly Card Class From ME, I talked about how these stamps work together. Watch my Two-Tone Flora Card Class here.

Two-Tone Flora Dies

The Two-Tone Flora Dies are just as fantastic as the stamp set they coordinate with. With these dies, you will be able to die cut every flower and leafy image in the Two-Tone Flora Stamp Set.

But there is more to this die set than just the outline shape dies. Did you see the large background intricate die? There are many uses to explore, from using it as a background, to trimming out flowers to use individually, to creating a stencil with the die cut.
