Hello crafty friends!
Today I’m sharing a bright, summery card designed to bring a little extra sunshine to someone’s day. Nothing says “happy” quite like lemons, vibrant florals, and cheerful yellow tones!
Card Details
For this design, I started with a beautiful embossed background featuring an intricate tile and botanical pattern. I used yellow ink blending to highlight the raised texture and create a fresh, sunny base.
The focal point includes die-cut lemons, layered with crisp green leaves and delicate white blossoms. I added pops of pink flowers and small buds to create extra warmth and playfulness.
At the center, I placed a curved banner sentiment that reads “HELLO SUNSHINE” — perfect for brightening up anyone’s mailbox!
Favorite Techniques
✅ Ink blending on embossed backgrounds to bring out the details and add depth.
✅ Layered die cuts to create a lush, dimensional look.
✅ Adding unexpected pops of color (like pink) for a fun twist.
Supplies Used
Here are some of the main supplies featured:
- Lemon and floral die sets
- Embossing folder or plate for background texture
- Ink blending tools and bright yellow ink
- Sentiment banner die or stamp
I love working with bold, happy colors — they feel like a little dose of sunshine on my craft table. I hope this card inspires you to create and send your own “hello sunshine” moments!
