A Good Friend is a Gift: Featuring the Perfectly Pears Bundle

Today’s card is giving all the soft, painterly vibes—with a sweet pear twist! I reached for the Perfectly Pears bundle and the stunning Painterly Pears DSP to make this heartfelt friendship card. It’s simple, elegant, and layered with just enough texture to make it feel extra special. Let’s take a look at all the juicy details!

Handmade card featuring pear-themed DSP and the sentiment “A good friend is a gift” heat embossed on a navy label, with gold ribbon and pastel textured background.

I started with a Petal Pink card base and added subtle texture using the corrugated embossing folder. For a little artsy flair, I added some splatter in Secret Sea—just flick ink from your brush tip marker or Water Painter for that effect!

The focal pieces were cut with the Everyday Arches dies. I used a soft white for one arch and the gorgeous pear-themed pattern from the Painterly Pears DSP for the other. Isn’t that hand-painted look just dreamy?

The sentiment, “A good friend is a gift,” is from the Perfectly Pears bundle. I heat embossed it in white onto Secret Sea cardstock for a crisp contrast, then layered it across the pear pattern using dimensionals. A gold trim bow adds the final touch of shine and elegance, and a few Secret Sea embellishments bring it all together.

If your heat embossing ever looks a little messy, try running an anti-static powder tool over your cardstock before stamping. It keeps stray embossing powder from sticking where it shouldn’t!
