The transition from Christmas crafting is always bittersweet, but these stunning new stencils and dies from our latest release made it effortless! I had so much fun using the new Into the Blooms: Wreath dies to add beautiful accent florals, stepping this card up to the next level. Follow along for a step-by-step breakdown of how this heartfelt card came together!

Ready to try it yourself? Here’s how she made it!

STEP 1: 

Stencil the pattern at the top and bottom of an A2 panel using the At the Bottom Stencils.

STEP 2: 

Trim the panel down to 4” x 5 ¾” and softly blend Sweet Blush ink around the edges for a soft, warm glow.

STEP 3: 

Die cut the Extravagant Floral Frame twice out of white cardstock and glue them together for added dimension. Lightly blend green and pink ink along the edges for extra depth.

STEP 4: 

Die cut the medium and small hearts from the Love to Layer: Rounded Hearts die set. Stamp the sentiment from the You Are Loved stamp set in True Black ink onto the smaller heart. Use foam squares to layer them together.

STEP 5: 

Layer all elements together to begin assembling the card.

STEP 6:

Die cut the leaves and flowers from white cardstock using the Into the Blooms: Wreath dies. Use blender brushes and ink to add color, bringing them to life.

STEP 7:

For extra realism, use a stylus and a foam mat to shape the flowers and create soft, dimensional petals.

STEP 8:

Arrange the flowers and leaves around the layered heart using a combination of foam squares and liquid glue for varied depths. Add a touch of glitter for sparkle and Moonshine Sequins for an elegant finishing touch!
