Soft florals, layered die cuts, and all the pretty Soft florals, layered die cuts, and all the pretty details… this card was such a joy to create using the Abstract Floral Stamp & Cut set from @heroarts 💕

I love how the bold floral shapes work with softer colour palettes — the white embossed details really make everything pop against the blush background. And that “friend” sentiment layered across the centre ties the whole design together perfectly.

To finish the card, I added some twine and white splatter for a little extra texture and movement. Sometimes those final tiny details really make a card feel complete.

If you’re a fan of floral cardmaking with a modern twist, this set is definitely worth adding to your collection.

What colour combination would you try with these florals? 👀

Bringing an older favourite back to life today wit Bringing an older favourite back to life today with the beautiful Bloom with Grace Bundle from Altenew 💛🌿

I wanted this card to feel fresh, uplifting, and full of texture, so I paired the botanical images with a bold yellow background and soft alcohol marker colouring. I also added some crinkled cardstock and twine for a slightly artsy finish.

I filmed the colouring process for this one too and honestly, these images are so relaxing to colour!

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.
