Make beautiful botanical bunches to add to card fronts, gift packaging, scrapbooking spreads, and more with the Golden Greenery Dies! These dies feature various types of winter sprigs and leaves, berries for colorful accents, and bells to layer for the perfect holiday swag.

Today’s card is a handmade greeting card with an elegant and appreciative design. The card is primarily composed of two contrasting backgrounds – Cherry Cobbler Cardstock on the left and a Basic White Cardstock on the right, both framed by a thin gold border which is layered on a Cherry Cobbler Cardstock base card.

The focal point of the card is a die cut from the Golden Greener Dies stylized floral arrangement made of metallic gold and red heart-shaped leaves or petals. This arrangement is tied together at the base with a delicate gold bow from the Gold Twisted Thread. Three small amber-colored gems, from the Gold Textured Adhesive-Backed Dots, are placed in the upper left corner, enhancing the card’s decorative appeal.

At the bottom of the card, a sentiment is expressed in text that reads “YOU ARE MUCH appreciated”, from the Wonderful Thoughts Bundle. This sentiment was stamped with Cherry Cobbler on Basic White Thick Cardstock. Two small yellow embellishments, from the same embellishment as above, possibly tiny gems or enamel dots, are placed below the text. The overall design of the card conveys a warm, heartfelt message of gratitude with its rich color scheme and intricate details.

The card’s interior features a coordinating design element, echoing the front’s aesthetic. A narrow band of the same decorative paper spans the inside, tying the card’s look together. For a polished finish, the envelope flap is adorned with matching paper, creating a cohesive look throughout the entire set.
