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? 👀

Soft florals and layered details are definitely my Soft florals and layered details are definitely my happy place 🌸✨

For this card I used the Craft-A-Flower: Grand Dahlia Layering Die Set from @altenewllc to create these dreamy ink-blended blooms in soft yellow, peach, and coral tones. I paired them with an embossed background and layered foliage for lots of texture and dimension without losing that soft elegant feel.

I also added a little white splatter because apparently I physically can’t stop myself at this point 😂

The navy background panel here? Total leftover cardstock from another project… and honestly, it ended up becoming the star of the whole design 💙 

I paired it with the Hello Friend Bundle from @heroarts, added some tiny floral accents, a layered sentiment, and finished it off with a little twine detail for texture. 

I love when scraps force you to get creative because sometimes they turn into cards you’d never have planned from scratch 😂
