Creating a Floral Card With Depth & Texture | Rachel Alvarado

Hello friends! It's Rachel here with a dreamy card that features the new Floral Daydream product suite combined with some beautiful stitched dies.

The Daydream Edit release is filled with so many stunning products, so it was difficult to choose a favorite.  However, the Floral Daydream set is a must-have with its eye-catching large blooms that just pop off the card.

*Disclaimer: All products used are linked below as clickable images. If a product isn’t listed, it’s been discontinued.

How to recreate this card:

1.  Trim a piece of dark teal card stock to 4.25" x 5.5" and die cut it with the Stitched Basket Weave Coverplate Die.  

2. Layer this piece onto a top-folding A2 sized card base by trimming a piece of card stock (I used 80lb white card stock) to 4.25" x 11".  Score this piece at 5.5" along the 11" side.

3.  Die cut two stitched octagon panels from both light teal and white card stock with the 2nd and 3rd largest dies from the Essentials: Blanket Stitched Octagons Die Set.

4. Lightly blend some Ocean Breeze Ink on the smaller white octagon and then layer both octagon pieces onto the dark teal card front with the larger octagon behind the smaller one.

5.  Stamp the florals from the Floral Daydream Stamp Set onto a sheet of white card stock (I used Neenah Solar White 110lb) with Detail Black Ink.

6.  Color the images using the coordinating Floral Daydream Stencils and Pinkfresh Inks.

• Stencil 1: Ocean Breeze
• Stencil 2: Aquamarine
• Stencil 3: Mermaid Cove / Peach Fuzz
• Stencil 4: Peach Fuzz / Sparkling Rose
• Stencil 5: Sparkling Rose
• Stencil 6: Bubble Gum

7. Die cut the florals using the coordinating Floral Daydream Die Set.   

8.  Adhere the flowers onto the card front with 3D foam adhesive tape for some extra depth.

9.  Heat emboss the sentiment with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder onto a piece of black card stock and cut it out with the coordinating die.  (I used a sentiment from the Blooming Daydream Stamp Set.)

10. Add the sentiment to the front of the card with more 3D foam adhesive tape. 

I hope you enjoyed my card today and are inspired to make one of your own!  I would love to see what you create!  Make sure to tag us on Instagram with your personal creations using these products!
