Today I’m sharing two floral cards created with products from the January 2026 Release collection. For the first card, I combined the Serene Lattice Stencil with the Craft-A-Flower: Buttercup Bunch Layering Die Set. I started by stencilling the background using blue shades from Tranquility Fresh Dye Ink bundle, to create a subtle lattice pattern that adds interest without overpowering the florals.

The Buttercup Bunch flowers were die-cut from white cardstock, layered, and ink-blended with Buttercream and Warm Sunshine inks from the Summer Afternoon Fresh Dye Ink Set. The green elements were coloured using Olive and Evergreen Fresh Dye Inks to add depth and contrast to the floral arrangement.

To finish the card, I added a sentiment from the Build-A-Garden: Happy Blossoms.

The second card features the Build-A-Garden: Happy Blossoms set. I stamped the floral image with black ink and used the coordinating five-piece layering stencil set to colour it in.

I decided to stay with the same colour combination as the first card and used Buttercream, Cloudy Sky, NimbusOlive and Evergreen Fresh Dye Inks to create a soft yet vibrant floral design.

To finish the card, I stamped and die-cut a lovely coordinating sentiment from the set.
