Black and white are my favorite colors, so I love this Botanical Textures designer series paper from Stampin’ Up. I also used the new Fancy Boader Dies which are really cute, as well with both being part of the Stampin’ Up Online Exclusives starting in March 2025.

To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Basic Black card stock
- White card stock
- Botanical Textures designer series paper
- Memorable Blooms stamp set and dies (leaf die)
- Fancy Border Dies
- Two nested stitched oval dies
- Basic Black ink
- Black lace
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
- Pop dots
With your Basic Black card stock cut a card base of 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 1/4 “ x 5 ½”. Cut two white card stock pieces to 4” x 5 ¼” and a strip to ¾” x 3 ¾”. With the Botanical Textures designer series paper, find a piece of the white small leaf paper and a piece of the black small leaf paper. With the white small leaf paper, cut a piece to 2 ¼” x 3 ¾” and with the black small leaf paper cut a piece to 3” x 3 ¾”.

Take the white strip you cut to ¾” x 3 ¾” and use the smaller design Fancy Border Dies die to cut one side of the strip. Take some spare Basic Black card stock and cut out a leaf with the leaf die from the Memorable Blooms die set and then also cut a larger stitched oval with your oval dies. With the smaller oval die cut out with a spare piece of white card stock. With the Memorable Blooms stamp set and your Basic Black ink stamp the “You are awesome!” greeting in the middle of the white oval.

Now let’s put the card together. Take your Basic Black card base and adhere the plain White card stock piece you cut to 4” x 5 ¼” to the front of the card base. Adhere the piece of black small leaves paper to the bottom of the white base and then the white small leaves paper to the top portion of the card. Adhere the white strip you cut with the fancy cut edge facing the bottom of your card. With a piece of black lace, or if you don’t have black lace you can cut a smaller strip of black card stock cut with the same Fancy Border Die. Adhere this to the top portion of your white strip. Take your “You are awesome” white oval and adhere to the center of the black oval and with pop dots adhere your black oval centered over your borders.

With the black leaf you cut out, adhere that to the right side of the White card stock you cut to 4” x 5 ¼”. Then with your Memborable Blooms stamp set and your Basic Black ink and stamp the “Thanks so much” greeting toward the upper right corner. Adhere this White piece to the inside of your card.

There is your lovely black and white Botanical Textures You Are Awesome card to give to someone you care about and make their day!
