What better way to celebrate National Best Friends Day than with a floral friendship card? It’s time to play at Festive Friday – Home of the Inspo List!
For this week’s challenge, we are inspired by National Best Friends Day. Remember, at Festive Friday you do not need to actually celebrate or make a card for the occasion featured. Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project. I used feminine, pink, friendship sentiment, patterned paper, ribbon and dry embossing to create my card. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
The Tea Boutique designer series paper collection isn’t just about tea cups and tea pots! It has some delightful floral and print patterns, too. These adorable little blossoms, paired with Petal Pink gingham print, is sweetly feminine, and just perfect for this floral friendship card. The Swirly die cut, from the Painted Labels die set, creates a wonderful backdrop for the scalloped sentiment circle. I find myself using this circle die cut often. It is from the All That die collection. Blossoms, which were fussy cut from the same pattern as the banner, were used to accent the sentiment. With a few iridescent pearls and a snippet of Parakeet Party ribbon, it makes a cute embellishment.

Love this one, such wonderful colours xx
Beautiful card! I really like this layout and the mixing of gingham and flowers. So very pretty.
Wow Ann, another gorgeous card. I love that little fussy cut piece. It just finished off the card beautifully
I just love the fresh feel of this card Ann – those florals look great and I love the fussy cut piece to embellish the sentiment with the sparkly ribbon tucked under it too. Gorgeous!
Such a beautiful card! Why do I never think of using an image cut from the paper? It looks so nice and is another great way to use DSP!
I love everything about this card from the design, to the colors, to the die cuts, to the sentiment. Wonderful in every way, Ann.
Absolutely love your beautiful card! 🙂
I love it!! You have a great layout !! I will be making this one soon!!
This card is so nice and colorful. Love banner and stamp set together.
Love this my friend!
Love the dsp on your card…..so bright and cheery! I just can’t justify buying any more paper but I will try to CASE the layout.
I am so glad I bought this DSP. I love the colors and your beautiful card makes them shine! I love every detail! Ribbon and pearls are so feminine!
Such a pretty card Ann. I love the colour combination.
I did not fall in love with the DSP the moment I saw it but for some reason it ended up in my pre-order…lol. I was so happy when I started using it. You’ve used it well here and I love your card! Woof to Nueve and Sixxy. Have a blessed weekend.
OMG, I’m in love!! My favorite colors and then flowers and gingham and oh my! Thanks for sharing. Hugs to all of you and a kiss on the nose to Nueve.
Oh my goodness….this is the sweetest thing ever! I am trying to resist these papers but you may have sent me over the edge! So cute! And that RIBBON! 😀
