Why you’ll love the Mini Ornaments Die Set

Card Inspiration – “Joyful Blooms”

The inspiration behind this card came from the word “JOY” — both as a sentiment and a feeling. By combining bold typography, a little glitter, and delicate die-cut florals, I wanted to capture the warmth of the season in a modern, layered composition.

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Create your base: Start with a teal card base. Add white splatters using acrylic paint or ink for a snowy effect.
2. Build your focal layer: Die cut the word “JOY” from gold glitter cardstock and mount it onto a strip of champagne-coloured cardstock. Gently curl the edges for texture.
3. Add contrast: Layer a mustard yellow panel behind the sentiment strip to introduce warmth and dimension.
4. Die cut your florals: Use the Mini Ornaments Die Set to create small red flowers and soft green leaves. Assemble with yellow centres for a festive poinsettia look.
5. Arrange your layout: Cluster the flowers around your sentiment, balancing larger blooms with smaller ones for an organic flow.
6. Finish with a greeting: Stamp and heat-emboss the sentiment “We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” trimming it into a narrow strip and layering it across your glittered “JOY.”
