Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper and Stitched Rectangles dies are perfect partners for this simple design.
In Flowering Fields Paper, you’ll find an abundance of colour with gouache hand-painted tulips and complementary patterns. The Rectangle dies, ‘lift’ the card and provide added dimension. Finish the card with a greeting on a Tailor Made Tags die-cut and pretty bow. Card Done & Dusted!
All April tutorials feature products available from either the Mini Catalogue or Annual Catalogue. In the designs, I’ve ensured that many of the products used are carrying over into the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue.
This card is the first of our April Class cards. I designed this month’s cards featuring both Designer Series Paper and Dies to highlight how they work brilliantly together. In some cases the paper is the hero, in others, it is the die and/or stamp set. You’ll be able to see the difference as we move from Card #1, to Card #2 and Card #3.
Welcome to your Make it with Margi April Tutorial Card #1. Please read on for all class kit dimensions and step by step directions.

Step by Step Directions
- Burnish card base along score line.
- Adhere ‘outside’ rectangle DSP to Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Tear & Tape. In your kit, I die cut the DSP measuring 14.5 x 10.1 cm with the second largest Stitched Rectangles die.
- Apply Mini Dimensions to the back of the ‘inside’ Stitched Rectangle and adhere to the centre of the card.
- Choose your greeting and the tag, depending on the size of the greeting. I used ‘HELLO’ from Forever Fern Stamp Set & Thank You from Grassy Grove Stamp Set for the samples. Choose whichever tag size works for you. You might like to use the other tag for another card.
- Adhere the small ‘re-inforcer’ die-cut to the tag and stamp your greeting. Here are the samples:
- Adhere stamped tag to your card front with Mini Dimensionals.
- Adhere bow with Mini Glue Dot.
- For the inside of the card, stamp any basic flower with Petal Pink ink. I used one of the stamps from Quiet Meadow Stamp Set. (See alternate sample below)
