Hello there! I have been having fun in the crafty space lately. I said I wanted to go through my sets, alphabetically, but that didn't work. Instead, I found some technique inspirations and then found a stamp set that would work with it.
This card uses the partial die cut technique. Basically, you stamp the image on your card front, and then when you make your die cut "sandwich", you simply don't place the top plate across the whole image. The machine will only cut whatever is under the top plate, so by putting the plate across only part of the image, you will cut out only part of it. Then it's just a matter of using your paper trimmer or scissors to cut from the edge of your card to the die cut. Here's a link to a tutorial if you need a visual.
The paper strip I used on the inside is 1 inch wide and comes from the Symbols of Fortune Designer Series Paper. It's on sale right now, but it retires in a couple days, so if you like it, don't wait! One other tip, I stamped the larger flowers in Calypso Coral, but I stamped onto scrap paper first to give me a lighter color.
Here's what I used for this card:
