For this project, I used the Hero Arts Small and Large Floral Layering Fancy Dies from their new Friendship Blossoms Collection. These dies are incredibly versatile, offering a mix of intricate floral designs that layer beautifully to create dimension and texture. The combination of the small and large dies allowed me to build a dynamic floral arrangement that feels lush and full of life.

Crafting the Bold Floral Card

In the video, I start by selecting my color palette, focusing on bold, contrasting shades that complement the meadow green background. Then, it’s on to die cutting—lots of it! I show how to layer the floral die cuts to add depth and interest, arranging them into a cohesive design. Finally, I assemble the card, finishing with the sentiment “Have a Lovely Day” for a cheerful touch.

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you feel inspired to create your own bold floral cards!

Hello! I just received my Sweet Street order from Spellbinders and had so much fun creating yummy birthday cards! The dies emboss and cut so there is loads of texture on each card. I made four cards with two different background colors….white and navy. I also used my favorite border die, Spellbinder\’s Essential Rectangle Dies, on all four cards.

The first two cards are really fun as they are interactive….pull the candle and the layers telescope out. This first card I assembled with foam tape for added dimension.

Don\’t you just love that cute little \”Make a Wish\” tag? The tag is part of the layer cake die set and the companion sentiments fit perfectly on the tag. The navy interactive card was assembled with liquid glue, the other three were assembled with foam tape.

I made a second set of quick and easy cards that are not interactive. I die cut just the base cake and frosting and assembled with foam tape for dimension. I don\’t think you can ever have too many birthday sentiments, and this set is full of yummy word stamps.
