The Floral Delights Suite from the new Spring Mini Catalog has quickly become a favorite of mine! This suite is full of gorgeous floral elements, soft color palettes, and stunning die-cut possibilities. Today, I’m sharing a project where I experimented with adding texture and dimension to my die-cut flowers in a unique way.
Creating Dimension with Embossing
One of the things I love about this suite is the detailed dies, but I noticed there wasn’t a stamp that perfectly fit some of the floral shapes. So, I decided to take a different approach to enhance my die-cut elements:
- Die-Cut the Floral Pieces – I started by cutting out all my floral elements using the coordinating dies from the Floral Delights Suite.
- Assemble the Floral Arrangement – Before adding texture, I glued all my pieces together to form the main focal image.
- Emboss for Texture – To give my assembled floral piece an extra wow factor, I ran the entire piece through the Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder (from the Mixed Floral Online Exclusive). This added a beautiful sculpted effect that made the florals pop with depth and dimension!
Why This Suite is a Must-Have
Aside from the gorgeous florals, the Floral Delights Suite has some amazing coordinating products that make it stand out:
- Coordinating Printed Vellum – In addition to the stunning Designer Series Paper (DSP), this suite includes a printed vellum option that adds a soft, ethereal touch to your projects.
- Super Fun Word Dies – This suite includes word dies that coordinate with matching sentiment stamps, making it easy to create layered and dimensional greetings.
I had so much fun playing with these products, and I love how the embossing technique added a new level of texture to my floral card! If you want to explore the Floral Delights Suite, you can find more details here.
