Have you used Stampin' Up!'s Detailed Floral Thinlits yet.  This is a great Quick and Easy card to put together.  I die cut both of the flower dies on one piece of cardstock leaving space in between for a sentiment.   Pick the sentiment of your choice to fill the gap between the 2 cuts, pop-up on a thin strip of ribbon, & you are done.   These are A2 size cards.
 
Material List:
-Stamp Set:  Floral Phrases, Flourishing Phrases
-Dies: Detailed Floral Thinlits, Stitched Label Framelits
-Cardstock:  Bermuda Bay, Soft Sky, Whisper White
-Inks:  Bermuda Bay
-Embellishments:  Ribbon
-Basics: Scissors, Paper Trimmer, Dimensionals, Tombow
-Glue, Big Shot, Adhesive Tape Runner
Card Base:  Whisper White A2 Card (Folded Size 5-1/2" x 4-1/4")
-Soft Sky Bottom Base Mat:  (5-1/4" x 4")
-Bermuda Bay Top Mat:  (5-1/4" x 4")
-Scrap piece of Whisper White to stamp the sentiment

Directions:
--Cut the top and bottom mats to size per list - note for this design both mats are the same size.
--Die Cut the Bermuda Bay Top mat using the small floral die  from Floral Phrases at the top and the larger floral die at the bottom - this leaves a nice gap in the middle to apply (or stamp) a sentiment.
--Stamp your sentiment onto a scrap of whisper white  using Bermuda Bay ink and then die cut with the label in Stitched Label Framelits as indicated.
--Attach the top mat to the Soft Sky Bottom mat using glue and/or tape runner.
--Attach a coordinating piece of ribbon for placement under the sentiment - I attach the ends of the ribbon with scotch tape to the back of the mats.
--Attach the sentiment using dimensionals where indicated.
--Attach the mats to the card Base using tape runner     


 I show a few other examples below using Wisteria Wonder and Berry Burst for the die cuts..
