Hello everyone! Hope you’re having a great week so far! It’s TaeEun here today with three floral cards! I used all the new die sets from the Winter 2023 Die Release to create the backgrounds of my cards ! And, of course, the main floral images are showcasing the new floral layering stencils.

The first card features the Heartfelt Blossoms layering stencils and the Geo Triangles Coverplate die from the new Releases. The Heartfelt Blossoms layering stencils coordinate with the Heartfelt Blossoms stamp and the coordinating die from a previous release.

For a crispy look, I stamped the Heartfelt Blossoms stamp image in Noir and clear heat embossed it afterward by stamping the image again in an embossing ink.

I then stenciled the image. For the three layers of the flowers I used Bubblegum, Dolled Up and Lipstick Red. The berries were stenciled in Parisian Blue and Violet Fringe, and the leaves in Meadow and Everglade Moss. For the leaves and the first layer of the berries, I mixed the two colors mentioned above to give them some depth.

Once done with the stenciling, I cut the image using the Coordinating die and set it aside.

To create the background, I first watercolored an A2 sized mixed media paper loosely in light pink and light green and adhered it to a white cardbase. I then covered the base with a white Geo Triangles Coverplate panel using some foam tape and placed the stenciled image on it.

The sentiment is from the Easy Expressions Just Because set. I stamped a part in Noir and heat embossed the scripty part in gold. The die cut sentiment was added to the card using foam tape.

I scattered some Bright Gold Opaque rhinestones, and the card was done!

The second card is showcasing the Lively Cosmos Layering stencils and the Single Plaid Coverplate die.

I started by stenciling the Lively Cosmos on some white cardstock with the help of the Grip Mat. The Grip Mat is a must-have tool for stenciling that makes it a lot easier !

I stenciled the flowers in two tones: orange and pink using Peach Blossom, Coralline hybrid, Bubblegum, Dolled Up and Deep Peony. For the berries, I used Cobalt Breeze and Violet Fringe ,and for the leaves, Meadow and Everglade Moss. The center of the flowers was stenciled in Lemon Drop. I added a bit of dark shade to the base using Amber Citrine. I then cut the image using the coordinating die.

For this card I chose a white on white background. So, I cut the Single Plaid panel in white and foam mounted it on a white cardbase. I used a sentiment from the Easy Expressions Just Because set for this card like the first one.

Some Gold Rainbow Opaque rhinestones were my finishing touch for this one.

The next card features the Delightful Wildflowers layering stencils from the new release. This stencil set coordinates with the Delightful Wildflowers stamp and the coordinating die. The arch background features the Sand Dollar Coverplate die, the Dome Frames Slim Borders coverplate die and the Dome Nested Dies.

To begin, I white heat embossed the flowers, berries and leaves from the Delightful Wildflowers stamp set on some white cardstock. I heat embossed the leaves and the berries several times to get multiple elements for my floral arrangement.

Next, I stenciled the images. For the flowers I used Lemon Drop, Amber Citrine, Peach Blossom and Coralline hybrid ink. For the berries, I used Lipstick Red and Pink Derby, and for the leaves, Meadow and Everglade Moss. The flowers are in three layers. I used four inks to stencil the flowers to make one flower lighter than the other one. After I was done with the stenciling I cut the images using the coordinating die and set them aside.

Here also I made a white on white background. This time I used the Sand Dollar, the Dome Frames Slim Border Coverplate die and the Dome Nested Dies. First I cut a white panel using the Sand Dollar coverplate die and cut it again using a die from the Dome Nested Die set. The matching white dome frame was cut using the Dome Frames Slim Border Coverplate die. I adhered the dome frame on the die cut Sand Dollar piece and foam mounted it on a white cardbase.

After that, I arranged the flowers, leaves and berries on the background panel as shown in the picture.

The sentiment is from the Blooming Hibiscus set. I stamped it in Noir and die cut using the coordinating die. The final touch for this card was some Crystal Clear Rainbow rhinestones.
