Well – we made it to Friday again! It’s also the last day of the Two-Tone Cardstock Sale!
I know there are people and animal in Texas and New Mexico and North Carolina who are NOT excited about a weekend (or a cardstock sale!) – and my heart is so sad for all of them. I’m doing another fundraiser – this one for the folks in Texas. You can get the deets down below and then…I hope you’ll help me send our support!! 🙁
So – on to something less sad – a pretty Thank You card featuring the Perfectly Pears bundle and gorgeous Painterly Pears DSP. Take a look-see:
I played along with The Paper Players challenge this week.
Now – technically, I suppose, this is a fun fold. I feel a little…weird?…calling it that but…it’s not quite a “regular” card. Why? Cuz…I tore off about 1 1/4″ from the right edge of my Mossy Meadow card base. That made a little peek of some Painterly Pears DSP from the inside panel show when the card is closed!!
For the front, I matted a second design of the DSP on Petal Pink cardstock and adhered it to the front panel.
I used the largest Stylish Shapes circle die to cut out a Petal Pink circle and then embossed it in the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. I used Liquid Glue to adhere it to the right side of the front panel.
For the collage – I cut out several images from the Painterly Pears DSP using the Perfectly Pears Dies. I cut out three pears – three stems/leaves – and three clusters of pink flowers. 😊 I also cut out two Basic Beige cardstock “hash marks” using the die in the set.
I used a Sponge Dauber to add a little Flirty Flamingo ink to each of the pears. Then I adhered the stems/leaves to the tops of the pears with Liquid Glue.
I adhered two pears and the top-most flower cluster to the die cut circle on the card front with Liquid Glue. I tucked the Basic Beige die cut hashmarks into the collage – adhering them with a little Liquid Glue.
I frayed the ends of two lengths of Petal Pink 5/16″ Braided Trim and adhered them with Stampin’ Seal +.
I used double-stacked Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the third pear over the braided trim.
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the Perfectly Pears sentiment in Secret Sea ink and cut it out with a Stylish Shapes banner die. I adhered it with double-stacked Dimensionals under the right end and a single Dimensional on the left end.
I tucked the bottom-right flower cluster under the sentiment and pear – adhering it with Liquid Glue. Then I added the final cluster on the left with a Stampin’ Dimensional and a little glue.
I added five Secret Sea 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls and the card front was done!
For the inside, I adhered a strip of Painterly Pears DSP to the right edge of a Basic White panel. I stamped a sentiment in Secret Sea. In the bottom left corner, I stamped the Perfectly Pears pear and stem/leaves outlines and fills in Old Olive ink. Using Sponge Daubers, I added Darling Duckling and Flirty Flamingo to the pear to give it a little more pizzazz!
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Petal Pink mat and into the card base – and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Perfectly Pears image – don’t forget the Darling Duckling and Flirty Flamingo shading – on the front…
…and my fave design from Painterly Pears DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Wow – this just makes me love Painterly Pears DSP even MORE – I didn’t think that was possible. I love the designs – they’re stunning – and the ability to cut out images with the Perfectly Pears dies! They’re really, truly…perfectly PAIRED! 😉
I hope you like!

We all watched Star Trek the other day.
The first one with Chris Pine as Capt Kirk. One of my faves ever!
I think it was Addy’s first time.
Finn’s seen it a BUNCH of times but…he’s still riveted!
Pretty sure he love James T as much as I do! 😉

Mary… this card is a feast for the eyes! and I adore pears. Not sure why but they are the perfect fruit for all occasions (including Christmas). Thanks so much for sharing this lovely creation with the Paper Players this week.

Beautiful card….love the double-braid-ribbon accent💞 Wish I had been there to watch ST with Addy….I could have given her insight on all things Kirk😉
Anytime!! :). I can be persuaded to watch JTK anytime!! Thanks so much, Judi! 🙂
What a lush and rich card! It really shows off the pears and that super DSP. I like that you’ve added texture to the base circle – nice touch. Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players.
