Why You’ll Love the Whimsical Magnolias Press-Tacular Plate

This Press-Tacular plate is all about detail and versatility:

• Intricate Magnolia Blooms: The engraved design captures every petal’s curve and fold to perfection.

Card Inspiration: Sending Smiles

For this card, I wanted to contrast delicate florals with a dramatic background for a bold, sophisticated look. Here’s how I brought it to life:

• Pressed the Whimsical Magnolias using my BetterPress system on ivory cardstock and added subtle ink blending to create a soft vintage look.
• Die-cut each bloom to layer them dimensionally with foam tape for a full floral cascade.
• Created a rich black backdrop using a textured background die and added delicate gold ink splatters to echo the warm tones in the florals.
• Added the sentiment “Sending Smiles” in a warm brown ink, perfectly complementing the soft florals.
• A touch of gold thread and sequins brought in just the right amount of sparkle to finish the card.

The result? A showstopping card that feels elegant, warm, and utterly timeless.
