Supplies List for the card:


Here’s what I used to make this project — I’ve included links in case you’d like to use the same materials:


This is my favourite A4 card — lovely heavy GSM so it’s nice and sturdy, perfect for handmade and

fancy fold cards. It also prints beautifully if your printer can handle thicker cardstock.

Comes with a handy instruction book for different scores and folds, plus there are lots of tutorials

available online.

The one sheet wonder includes a topper, backing paper panel, and five sentiments — everything you

need to create a beautifully coordinated card. You can find it on the website here:

My go-to paper for printing digital designs — gives a lovely shiny finish that makes colours pop.

used this to emboss a piece of cream card for texture before layering.

Great value for matting and layering, and adds a touch of elegance to any project.


Step-by-Step Instructions



Step 1 – Prepare Your Card Base

Take your A4 white construction card and score it in half using your score board to create your card base. Burnish the fold with your bone folder/ scoring tool for a crisp edge.


Step 2 – Print Your Design

Download and print the Pretty Pansy One Sheet Wonder onto glossy photo paper. The colours print beautifully and give a soft, shiny finish.


Step 3 – Emboss Your Background

Take a piece of cream card, place it into your Spellbinders embossing folder, and run it through your die-cutting machine. This will create a lovely textured panel for your background.


Step 4 – Trim and Mount

Cut out your topper, backing paper panel, and sentiment from the printed sheet. Mount each piece onto gold mirror card for a polished, layered look.



Step 5 – Assemble Your Card

Layer the embossed cream card onto your card base, followed by the backing paper panel. Then add your topper and sentiment, arranging them however you prefer.



Step 6 – Add Finishing Touches

Use Yellow Stickles and Liquid Pearls to add a few delicate accents — perhaps in the flower centres or around the edges for a touch of shimmer. I popped some gems on from my stash.



Step 7 – Let It Shine

Allow everything to dry fully before standing back to admire your finished card. The result is a bright, cheerful pansy design that’s flat enough for easy posting but still beautifully detailed.




💖 Happy Crafting Amanda xo

April 28, 2026 Pretty Carnations Card So Many Questions… Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! 💙🍃 I recently shared a card over on Facebook, and I honestly wasn’t expecting the response it received!
