Hi friends, Annie here with you today! Let’s create a soft and elegant floral card with layered tulips, a gold frame, and delicate sparkle accents. This just because tulip card design is perfect for spring, friendship, or an everyday “just because” greeting.

Supplies Used

• Light Yellow Cardstock
• Pop-Tone Pink Lemonade Cardstock
• Pearl Green Curry Textured Cardstock
• Stardream Metallic Gold Cardstock
• Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock
• Various Dies
• The Rabbit Hole Designs Stamps – Sentiment
• Distress Ink in Mustard Seed
• Tiny Gold Rhinestones
• Bearly Art Glue and Tiny Foam Tabs

Instructions

Create the Card Base
Cut a piece of Neenah Solar White Cardstock to 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and fold it in half to create an A2 side-folding card base. Fold the front section in half again to create a z-fold.

Prepare the Background Panel
Die cut a stitched rectangle panel from Pop-Tone Pink Lemonade Cardstock. Adhere it to the inside of the card for a soft layered look.

Die Cut the Frame
Using Stardream Metallic Gold Cardstock, die cut a rounded rectangle frame. This metallic layer adds a beautiful elegant shine to the design. Two more times from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock.

Create the Tulips
Die cut the tulip pieces from Light Yellow Cardstock and the stems/leaves from Pearl Green Curry Textured Cardstock.
Blend Mustard Seed Distress Ink lightly onto the flower petals for added depth and dimension.

Assemble the Flowers
Layer and glue the tulip pieces together using foam adhesive for dimension. Arrange the flowers inside the gold frame, allowing some leaves and petals to extend beyond the edges for extra interest.

Add the Sentiment
Stamp or die cut a “Just Because” sentiment and adhere it across the lower portion of the floral arrangement.

Finish the Card
Attach the completed floral frame panel to the card front. Embellish with tiny gold rhinestones around the design for a touch of sparkle and balance. This just because tulip card is now complete!

Design Tip

Using soft pastel cardstock with metallic gold accents creates an elegant, clean look while still keeping the card warm and cheerful. Adding ink blending to the petals gives the tulips a more realistic appearance without overwhelming the simple design.

Until next time, stay crafty!
