Why do we all forget how good some older craft pro Why do we all forget how good some older craft products are?! 👀

I pulled the Bloom with Grace bundle back out from my cupboard and honestly… I have no idea why I ever stopped using it 😍

The florals are still gorgeous, the layering is beautiful, and it was such a good reminder that inspiration doesn’t disappear just because something isn’t a brand new release anymore.

I genuinely love that Altenew are celebrating some older favourites and encouraging us all to rediscover products we may have overlooked ✨

And to make it even better, you can use my code:

🌸 MARTINBLOOM 🌸

for 35% off the Bloom with Grace bundle!

I’ll be sharing even more inspiration using this bundle over the next few days, so keep an eye out 👀

Bold florals, rich navy cardstock, and LOTS of dim Bold florals, rich navy cardstock, and LOTS of dimension… honestly this card was such a joy to create 🌸✨

I used the Craft-A-Flower: Saffron Layering Die Set from @altenewllc to build these gorgeous layered flowers and I love how dramatic they look against the dark background. A little ink blending, some white splatter, and a simple sentiment was all this card needed!

If you haven’t tried the Craft-A-Flower series yet, don’t forget you can save 10% on ANY Craft-A-Flower Set with my code: MARTINFLOWER

Which colour combo would you try with these flowers? 👀

The Pink Fairies Ink Collection from @simonsayssta The Pink Fairies Ink Collection from @simonsaysstamp is officially swatched… and I fear I may be obsessed 💜🩷

This colour combo is SO good. From the dreamy violet tones of Periwinkle, Clematis & Crocus to the soft-to-bold pinks of Ballerina, Fairy & Plum — every shade blends beautifully together.

I already know these are going to become regulars on my craft desk for florals, backgrounds and all the pink/purple projects ✨

And can we appreciate how smooth these blends are?! 😍

If you want the link to the Pink Fairies Ink Collection, comment PINK and I’ll send it over to you 💌

Three ways. One gorgeous floral die. 🌸✨ I had so Three ways. One gorgeous floral die. 🌸✨

I had so much fun experimenting with the @altenewllc Grand Dahlia Layering Die Set and trying out different colouring styles to see how much the look changes just by switching up the technique. Same die… completely different vibes every time 👀

Whether you love bold blends, soft inked petals or something a little more dramatic, this die really does all the hard work for you. I honestly think florals like this are the perfect reminder that you don’t always need the newest release to create something fresh and inspiring 💛

Want the link to the Grand Dahlia Layering Die Set? Comment “DAHLIA” and I’ll send it over 🌸

Which version is your favourite — 1, 2 or 3? 👇

There’s just something about florals on a dark bac There’s just something about florals on a dark background that feels extra elegant 🌸

This card was created with the Lush Peony Bouquet Press + Hot Foil Plate & Stencil Bundle and I honestly can’t stop looking at all those tiny details. The soft pink peonies, the crisp white splatter, the little pops of sparkle… it all comes together so beautifully against the deep navy background.

I wanted this card to feel delicate but still bold, and I think the contrast really helps the florals shine. Also… can we appreciate how satisfying it is seeing all that dimension as the card catches the light? 👀

Comment PEONY and I’ll send you the link to the full blog post featuring all the details and supplies I used ✨
