Hello, crafty friends! It's
Leica here, and I'm thrilled to share with you my lovely floral cards using the
Sealed For Summer Collection from Spellbinders. I've created three cards with a floral theme, and I'm excited to send them to my friends.
Glimmer Bouquet Hi Card
Let's start with my first card. I used the
Essential Modern Ovals Etched Dies to cut out ovals in different colors of cardstock. Then, I added a touch of elegance by hot foiling the
Glimmer Bouquet Hot Foil Plate in gold on
Snowdrift cardstock and cutting it with the coordinating die.
The large bouquet makes a stunning focal point. I also used the
Glimmer Alphabet Hot Foil Plate & Die Set to add some colorful letters using the
Glimmer Alphabet Stencil. I had a little mishap with the letter "H," but I improvised by cutting additional letters in
Saffron cardstock and layering them for a unique effect. To add some sparkle, I scattered
gems on the card and added texture to the background using the
Mandala Blooms 3D Embossing Folder.
Glimmer Bouquet Thinking of You Card
Moving on to my second card, I once again used the
Glimmer Bouquet Hot Foil Plate to create a beautiful bouquet on an oval-shaped panel. This time, I colored the bouquet and the background using Copic Sketch Markers for a vibrant look.
I added
gems for some extra sparkle. The card panel also received texture using the
Mandala Blooms 3D Embossing Folder. For the sentiment, I used the
Hexi-Gem Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set, which allowed me to create multiple sentiments in one go.
Wax Seal Sentiment
For my final card, I cut out the stunning floral designs from the
Sealed Blooming Stems Etched Dies and arranged them into a gorgeous bouquet, held together by a
wax seal in
Antique Gold. This was my first time using a wax seal, and I can't wait to incorporate it into more of my cards—it adds a fun and unique touch.
To complete the card, I layered some ovals from the
Essential Modern Ovals Etched Dies and added texture to the background using the
Mandala Blooms 3D Embossing Folder.
That's all for my floral cards. I had an absolute blast creating them. I used cardstocks exclusively from Spellbinders, and you can find all the supplies listed below. I hope you enjoy my cards, and happy crafting!
