Hello crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing an elegant and luxurious card featuring the Crafty Meraki Whimsical Magnolias Press-Tacular Plate and the coordinating Whimsical Magnolias Layering Stencil Set. These two products work beautifully together to create intricate floral designs with ease.

Card Inspiration: “Sending Smiles” Magnolia Elegance

For this project, I wanted to create a bold yet sophisticated floral arrangement with a dramatic dark background. Here’s how I did it:
- Hot Foil Magic – I used the Crafty Meraki Whimsical Magnolias Press-Tacular Plate with my Glimmer Hot Foil System – Platinum, foiling the design onto soft ivory cardstock.
- Effortless Coloring – Using the Whimsical Magnolias Layering Stencil Set, I blended soft neutrals and gold tones to complement the foiled details.
- Textured Background – I added a deep black embossed background for contrast, then splattered gold accents for extra depth.
- Finishing Touches – I wrapped gold twine around the floral cluster, added a simple “Sending Smiles” sentiment, and placed a few sequins for subtle embellishment.
