Hi crafters,
Today, we're teaching you how to look at your paper patterns in a new way! Our Floral Paper Anthology has 102 sheets of 12" x 12" Cardstock (6 each of 17 designs). Take a look at each individual pattern; you may find diecuts just waiting to be released, or layers that will add movement to your card. If you don't have this amazing paper pack, you can get it on our website on sale! We're also using the Paper Butterfly Embellishments to elevate our project today.
Come craft a lovely birthday card with us!
Start with your card base and a frame of your choice for design elements. We used the Birthday Greetings 3D Concentric Dies.
From the blue floral design, cut a 3.75" by 5.75" layer.
Add your fussy cut layer and another gold layer of your choice with foam adhesive.
Fussy cut 2 of the flowers out of the same paper using a craft knife (or scissors).
You can also split gold foil embellishments to spread them on your paper projects.
Add the fussy cut flowers with foam adhesive.
Add each half of the halved fussy cut gold foil flourish to the card, under the flowers.
A Birthday Greetings sentiment from the Birthday Wishes Card Making Kit makes for the perfect birthday card.
For extra movement and a bit of whimsy, 2 of our paper butterflies get added at an angle as shown.
The Floral Anthology Papers and Paper Butterfly Embellishments make a wonderful duo. Each design is more beautiful than the next so you can mix patterns effortlessly.
You will love reaching for these 2 for card sending occasions of all kinds. Send Best Wishes to a friend or family member.
What's great about our perfect palette is that everything goes together flawlessly. Just grab your favorites and make something beautiful!
If you love having beautiful patterns at the ready, then the Floral Paper Anthology is something that you will appreciate having in your craft room. The 12" x 12" papers are just the thing for both card making and scrapbooking.

What another wonderful presentation for a lovely card. Made me go “hmm…I’m going to try this one”. Thanks again Anna!
Such beautiful cardstock. This will make all our projects so beautiful and stunning. Love the cardstock. Everyone have a great week and may God bless you all and keep you safe.
Thank you for the tutorial.
That is a lovely card and that blue floral paper, in particular, is gorgeous. Unfortunately in these unsure financial times I can’t spend that much on paper. The idea though is transferable with the right choice of paper I might have in my stash.
Would love to have that Cuttlebug swirl die. Would you consider bringing back some of those older dies but maybe enhance them with today’s 3D technology and make them better than ever? Thank you. You had some really cool embossing folders as well that I have seen but were before my “Anna Griffin obsession!” Maybe some of those as well? What’s old is new again!!!
