Hello crafty friends!
Today I’m sharing a dramatic floral thank you card featuring the beautiful Lush Peony Bouquet Press + Hot Foil Plate & Stencil Bundle. I absolutely love how these soft pink florals pop against the dark background — it gives the entire card such an elegant and almost romantic feel while still keeping the design modern and bold.
One of my favourite things about this bundle is how versatile it is. You can hot foil it for extra shine, use it with BetterPress for crisp impressions, or simply stencil the design for a softer look. For this card, I wanted the florals to really stand out, so pairing them with the deep navy cardstock created the perfect contrast.
The added splatter, sequins, and twine finish the card beautifully and bring in that little extra texture that makes handmade cards feel so special.

Card Inspiration – Elegant Floral Thank You Card
For this project, I wanted to create something elegant but still full of contrast and impact. The rich dark cardstock really allows the pink peonies to shine, while the small yellow floral accents help break up the palette and add warmth throughout the arrangement.
The layered panel design also gives subtle dimension without making the card too bulky for posting. I finished everything with white splatter, iridescent sequins, and some twine for that extra touch of detail.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Press or hot foil the floral image from the Lush Peony Bouquet Press + Hot Foil Plate & Stencil Bundle onto smooth white cardstock.
- Use the coordinating stencils to colour the florals with pink inks and the leaves with soft greens.
- Die cut the floral arrangement using the coordinating die.
- Create a dark navy card base along with a slightly smaller navy panel for layering.
- Adhere the smaller panel onto the card base using foam tape for subtle dimension.
- Arrange and adhere the floral bouquet onto the card front using a mixture of liquid adhesive and foam tape.
- Stamp and heat emboss the sentiment, then trim it into a strip and adhere it across the floral arrangement.
- Add white paint splatter across the card for texture and interest.
- Finish the card with twine and a few iridescent sequins for sparkle.
