Hello crafty friends! It’s
Jean here sharing three cards created with the
Simply Perfect Collection. This versatile collection, which includes products to create backgrounds, die-cut and glimmer-foiled sentiments, and focal images, can be used to craft for any number of occasions. The collection’s products work together beautifully for countless variations.
Floral Hello Cards
The first two cards use the
Florets Embossing Folder for the background, along with a “Hello” sentiment, from the
Mix & Match Sentiments set, and focal images, created with the
Layered Blooms set. I created two versions of similar design to highlight how easy it is to change the look.
For the first card, the
Layered Blooms and the
Mix & Match Sentiments “Hello” were die-cut from cardstock colored with Distress Inks for a soft look.
- Cut floral pieces and leaves with the Layered Blooms set and assemble.
- Cut Mix & Match Sentiments “Hello” twice: once from white cardstock and again from cardstock colored with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink. Glue together with the white layer as the drop shadow.
- Dry-emboss A2-size, soft blue cardstock panel with the Florets Embossing Folder.
- Die-cut a 3" circle from white cardstock, with the dotted-edge inlay, using dies in the Essential Circles Back with 3" circle cut from ink-colored cardstock.
- Add the circle assembly to the dry-embossed background.
- Adhere flowers, leaves, and sentiment to card base.

Congrats Grad Card
For the final card, I created a graduation card customized with the school colors on the background, created with the
Color Block Slices set, and the
Alphabet die set. The
Color Block Slices shape reminds me of a school pennant.
- Die-cut background pieces with Color Block Slices die from navy, Brush Gold, and gray cardstock. Tape together on back and trim to A2-size.
- Cut “Congrats” from white cardstock (twice) with die in the Mix & Match Sentiments Glue together.
- Cut “GRAD” from navy cardstock (twice) with letters in the Alphabet die set. Glue together.
