Hello crafty friends!
Today I’m sharing a soft and elegant botanical card created with the beautiful Altenew Bloom With Grace Bundle. This bundle has quickly become one of those products that reminds me why older releases still deserve a place on our craft desks. The delicate foliage, simple line art and thoughtful sentiments make it perfect for clean and timeless card designs.
I wanted this project to feel calm and organic, so I paired the imagery with neutral cardstock and subtle colouring for a modern botanical look. The little glass jars with pops of blue add just enough colour while keeping the overall design soft and sophisticated.
Even better, Altenew are currently offering 35% off the Bloom With Grace Bundle using the code MARTINBLOOM until June 2nd.

The Bloom With Grace Bundle is one of those versatile sets that works beautifully for all styles of card making. Whether you enjoy colouring, simple stamping or dimensional die cutting, this bundle gives you plenty of creative options.
Here’s why I’ve been enjoying it so much:
- Elegant botanical imagery that works for all occasions
- Coordinating dies for easy layering and dimension
- Thoughtful sentiments perfect for encouragement and friendship cards

- Works beautifully with alcohol markers, pencils or watercolour
I also love how easy it is to create modern botanical arrangements with the foliage images. They feel fresh, stylish and timeless all at once.
Card Inspiration – Bloom With Grace Botanical Card
For this card, I wanted to create something soft and understated with a touch of dimension. The neutral cardstock keeps the focus on the greenery while the blue glass jars add a subtle pop of contrast.
The layered die cut foliage gives the design extra movement and helps draw the eye to the centre of the card. I also added small ink splatters to break up the background and keep the design feeling organic.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Create an A2 card base using textured neutral cardstock.
- Cut a slightly smaller panel from matching cardstock and adhere it to the card front.
- Stamp the glass jar images from the Bloom With Grace Bundle across the lower section of the panel using black ink.
- Colour the jars and foliage using alcohol markers in soft green and blue tones.
- Stamp and colour the larger foliage image separately before die cutting it with the coordinating die.
- Add foam adhesive behind the die cut foliage and adhere it over the centre jar for added dimension.
- Stamp the sentiment below the arrangement using black ink.
- Finish the card with subtle black ink splatters for extra detail.
