Welcome, crafty friends! I’m so excited to share my latest project as part of the Stamp Impressions Europe Blog Hop— and this month we’re taking inspiration from the upcomng May to August Catalogue.
🌸 Heirloom Boutique Floral Card
So I chose to use the pretty new Heirrloom Boutique Bundle paired with the Frames and Frames Dies
Oh my goodness — How gorgeous are these flowers? So easy to add imapct with these simple blooms. Perfect for cards and scrapbooking
We made this card at my team Crafternoon Tea event, and it was an absolute hit — always a good sign when crafters don’t want to stop admiring their finished projects!
✨ The Inspiration
With spring blossom still around, I wanted to capture that feeling of gentle colour, and effortless beauty. The black and white scheme with the hint of Barely Blush ink (tricky to photograph but definately there!) added to the die cut flowers with a dauber creates a design that feels light, layered, and uplifting — perfect for birthdays, sending lots of love or any happy occasion
This card also highlights two exciting products in the May to August 2026 Catalogue:
- Heirloom Boutique Bundle (167731) Page 31
- Phrases and Frames Dies (167586) Page 58
✂️ How I Made It
1. Background & Base
I began with the gorgeous Paper Medley (167759) as the card base, allowing the pattern to set the tone for the entire design. The Die cut frame has also been enhanced by the new Impressions Plate (167767) which adds additonal crispness and texture to our new detailes dies..
2 Floral Focal Point
The flowers and leaves were die cut, coloured using the new 2026 to 2028 In- Color Ink, Barely Blush, then arranged into a soft cascading cluster. I added dimension with Dimensionals and tucked in a generous bow for a relaxed, organic feel.
4. Sentiment & Embellishments
A fussy cut sentiment in the matching Barely Blush Cardstock coordinatesperfectly and balances the floral cluster. A few coordinating neutral dots coloured with Basic Black Stampin’ Blend finish the design with some splatters of Wink of Stella pend for just the right amount of sparkle
Voila!
I absolutely loved creating this card — the combination of texture, framing, & florals, makes it one of those designs that feels special but is still very achievable.
