I am in love with this card and how it turned out with the Painterly Pairs suite from Stampin’ Up, and I like the fold as well, it all worked perfectly. I am pretty sure this is going to be one of my new favorites and the papers are just beautiful and in my color palette.

- White card stock
- Painterly Pears designer series paper (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
- Perfectly Pears stamp set and dies (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
- Inks
- Darling Ducking ink (2025-2027 In Color Stampin Up)

- Momento Black Ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Blender Pens (Stampin’ Up)

From the Darling Ducking card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 1 ¼” and 5 ½” and fold both ends up. With your white card stock cut a piece for the inside to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the Painterly Pears designer series paper, find the piece of Darling Duckling paper with the pears and the piece with the pink lined grids. From the pears piece cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” and then from the grid paper cut a piece to 1” x 5 ¼”.
Grab some spare white card stock and your black Momento ink and stamp two of the small pears and one of the group of three flowers. For the small pears, take your Darling Duckling ink and the small pear inside stamp and stamp the inside of the pears. Then use your Old Olive Blender Pen light and do some shading and then with the Mossy Meadow light a bit more. For the branch color with the Pecan Pie light and for the leaves I colored them in Old Olive Light and Mossy Meadow dark. For the flower bunch I just used the full flower and cut it apart from the others. Then I used the center stamp with Pecan Pie ink and stamped the center. Then I used Darling Duckling Blender pens, light for the full flower and then dark coming in a bit from the center for highlights.
With some spare Darling Duckling card stock use the label die from the Perfect Pears die set to cut the large label. On another spare piece find the “Hello” greeting from the Perfect Pears stamp set and stamp in Old Olive ink. Use the small square label die to cut that out. Now take a spare piece of Old Olive card stock and cut out the hash design die and also a stem of leaves.
Grab your Darling Duckling card base and adhere to pears paper to the right side and the grid paper to the left side. Take the Mossy Meadow and Gold Trim ribbon and wrap around the inside of your card and tie in a knot and position to the right side of your card.
Now take the Darling Duckling large label you cut and let’s get that decorated. Start by adhering the hash cutout toward the left side of the label. Take your leaves cut-out and break it up into two pieces and then take one leaf off to use with your flower. Adhere the leaves to the back of one of your stamped pears sets and then use pop dots to adhere you pears to the right side of your tag. Adhere the single leaf you saved to the back of your flower and then adhere your flower to the upper right of the tag. Then use pop dots to adhere your hello in the space left over the hash cutout. Put adhesive to the left side of your tag and adhere to the lower front of your card with the adhesive side on the pear paper section.
For the inside, take the piece of white card stock you cut earlier and adhere your other set of pears in the lower right corner and then adhere to the inside of your card.
That finishes off your Perfect Pears card to send out to someone just to say hello.
