For today’s project, I decided to go big with a 5×7 card, which is one of my favorite formats when working with larger designs. A bigger card front gives those bold backgrounds room to shine—no trimming down beautiful details or trying to squeeze everything into a smaller space.

I used the One-Go Friendship Flowers Bundle to create a full background filled with an assortment of pink flowers paired with minty and teal leaves. The larger 5×7 size makes it easy to let those florals stretch out naturally, creating a lush, full look that really feels like it fills the entire card front.

There’s something so satisfying about working on a bigger canvas. It feels a little more like creating a mini piece of artwork—and it’s perfect when you want those gorgeous background images to truly stand out.

Thanks so much for stopping by and celebrating the Altenew April 2026 release with me! I hope this inspires you to try creating a 5×7 card and give those larger backgrounds the space they deserve. Don’t forget to join the video hop and leave a comment for your chance to win.
