Vintage Floral Layered Card showcasing our May 2025 Card Kit: Beautiful and Curious
Hi friends! Happy Tuesday! I’m delighted to welcome back special guest Heather Hoffman to show off a new (and gorgeous) card idea featuring our May 2025 card kit, Beautiful and Curious! Read on and enjoy!
Hello! I love to layer up papers on cards – often pattern papers. But sometimes it’s fun to layer up more for texture, but still in more neutral colors. It gives so much elegance to a card!
I started off this card by stamping in black and heat embossing with clear that lovely floral image from the stamp set in the May kit on some white cardstock. I carefully brushed in some color using 3 distress crayons included in my kit – Crushed Olive, Victorian Velvet, and Abandoned Coral. Since I didn’t use watercolor paper, I was careful to not add much water at all.
Next, I trimmed that panel down, and roughed up the edges a bit with my paper distresser – the first step in adding texture! I matted that with a layer of the Ice vellum in the kit, then added a tiny bow with the twine in the kit, looped into a simple bow, and attached with my Tiny Attacher in a criss cross design. I used the free BONUS embossing folder on some of the ivory cardstock, trimmed it down, and cut a diagonal strip out of the center before adhering it behind the other layers.
Next up – I chose a sentiment, trimmed it down, and matted it with a bit of black cardstock to make it pop. Added that over my layers on a diagonal with foam adhesive, and trimmed off the extra. Finally, attached this entire panel with thin foam onto some trimmed down pattern paper from the kit, and then onto a white cardbase.
Finished off with just a few Dazzling Gems in gold for a bit of sparkle and shine! What is your favorite way to add texture and layers?
