Happy Friday and welcome to the first challenge of 2026! We have another fabulous INSPO list for you and once I saw the Festivity we are celebrating I knew I had to bring out my Botanicuts Tulips from The Greetery! Here’s a sneak peek:

I love these dies and I know they will be in my collection for a long time! I mixed the Tulip dies with Signed and Sealed and the Postal Frames dies – also from The Greetery.
As a reminder, even though we are celebrating National Tulip Day, we don’t need you to do the same. All you need to do is include at least 3 items from our INSPO list onto your project.
Here’s our INSPO list for this challenge:

I began my card by die-cutting the elements and ink blending oranges and yellows onto the petals and green and blues onto the leaves and stems.
I then die-cut an envelope from the Signed and Sealed set from The Greetery. I clear embossed a polka dot insert for the envelope to give it a little more interest and separate it from the background. I then die-cut the Postal Frame for my focal layer.
I decided not to draw too much attention away from the florals so added a small Happy Birthday circular sentiment on the envelope.
The last thing I did was add some gold metallic paint splatters and an oversized Air Mail stamp from a set from Waffle Flower to add a little more visual interest.
Here’s my full card:
INSPO elements: Yellow, Orange, Tulips, Happy Birthday

I love the mix of yellow/orange with that deep green. I wanted the edges of the base layer to be a little darker, so I added some Secret Sea ink to the edges to give them just a little more depth.
As always, our design team have some great inspiration for you:
Now, it’s over to you. We can’t wait to see what YOU create using our INSPO list. I’ll be back later in the week with another card. In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight

I was looking at the challenge post for this one and your card stopped me in my tracks–love that bright tulip on the gorgeous deep green card! This is a show-stopper for sure!
This card is jaw dropping! The background colors look so rich against the tulip. Such a beautiful creation!
