Hello my Stampin’ Friends!
This dimensional tote card features a sophisticated shoppingtote die-cut in Crumb Cake cardstock, complete with dimensional handles and decorative stitching details. The bag is adorned with a luxurious Gorgeous Grape ribbon tied in an elegant bow, while a small butterfly accent in coordinating purple adds a delicate finishing touch. The three-dimensional construction creates realistic depth and shadow, making the bag appear to pop off the card surface. The bag sits atop an embossed panel created with the Exposed Brick embossing folder, adding subtle texture that mimics architectural stonework.
The background showcases beautiful Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper featuring an enchanting botanical print with sprigs of lavender, wildflowers, and foliage in shades of Gorgeous Grape and Shaded Spruce against a Crumb Cake backdrop. This romantic floral pattern creates the perfect setting for the elegant shopping tote, evoking the feeling of a charming boutique or flower market. The entire design is framed with Gorgeous Grape cardstock matting that coordinates beautifully with the ribbon and floral elements.
At the bottom of the card, a sentiment banner from the Unbounded Love bundle displays “EXCLUSIVE! MADE JUST FOR YOU” in bold lettering, emphasizing the special, personalized nature of the gift. The coordinating envelope visible at the bottom features the same lavender pattern on the flap, creating a cohesive presentation. This card would be perfect for celebrating someone special, perhaps accompanying an actual gift or serving as a thoughtful gesture on its own.
The inside of the card features a Basic Beige writing panel bordered by Gorgeous Grape matting, with a coordinating strip of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper along the left edge and a small purple floral accent in the lower right corner.
The envelope flap features the same Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper used throughout the card design, showcasing rows of delicate purple lavender sprigs with teal stems against a neutral background, creating a cohesive presentation.
