Hello friends, today I’m excited to share this beautiful card using the brand new Dovecraft ‘Paper Posies’ collection.

I couldn’t wait to use this new product as soon as it dropped through my door!

I wanted to make a card that would show off the papers well and thought this style would work perfectly.

I first came across this card style when I was asked to do it for a magazine commission, and saw an older tutorial by a channel called Die Sternenkarte, the tutorial is in a foreign language but her Christmas versions are very nice. I’ve shared her channel here if you would like to see her version.

The card above is made from an A6 size card blank.

This one is from a 5″ x 7″ card blank

And this one from a 6″ x 6″ card blank.

I personally prefer the rectangle card blank ones, so the A6 & 5″ x 7″ ones, but they all look fantastic on the mantle and will definitely wow your friends.

You have lots of room on the back to stamp and write your message and they fold down flat and will fit in a custom envelope. I do however think, and I mention this in my tutorial below, that you will probably need to send some assembly instructions for this card or a little picture of the card made up.

2 pieces of silver mirror card, cut both pieces from top left to bottom right.

2-4 pieces of pattern paper depending on whether you want different patterns like I did. Cut 1 piece from top left to bottom right and the other top right to bottom left. If you want them all the same then you just need to cut 2 pieces of pattern paper from top left to bottom right.
