Florals in Bloom – How to Create a Split Front Card

Florals in Bloom – How to Create a Split Front Card – With You In Mind – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

Looking for a fresh way to use your floral patterned paper? This Split Front Card design is a brilliant way to show off those gorgeous prints while creating a card that’s eye-catching and elegant. I’ve used the Florals in Bloom Paper alongside the With You In Mind stamp set to make these beautiful cards.

What is a Split Front Card?

A Split Front Card features a front panel that’s cleanly divided into sections, revealing interesting angles and opportunities to layer and embellish. It adds a dynamic look to your card design without requiring complex folds. In this case, I’ve cut the patterned paper at angles and added foil sheet accents between the pieces to make the split stand out even more.

Florals, Foil & Colour

For the first card, I used Granny Apple Green cardstock as the base, paired with a lovely spring floral paper. The sentiment from the With You In Mind set is stamped in Strawberry Slush, coordinating beautifully with the floral tones.

The second card uses a Blackberry Bliss card base and a more purple-toned floral print from the same paper pack. The sentiment is stamped in a rich coordinating ink, giving it a bold finish that complements the base.

Both cards feature silver foil sheets between the cut layers. This not only helps define the split design but also adds a touch of shine and luxury that really makes the card pop. I also tucked some metallic ribbon loops behind the sentiment for extra texture and dimension.
