Today I’m sharing two simple cards created with products from the August 2025 Release collection. For the first card, I used stamps and dies from Craft Your Life Project Kit: Floral Odyssey & Add-on Die Bundle. This kit is packed with everything you need to craft beautiful, adventure-inspired projects.

I started by stamping silhouette leaves in blue shades from the Tranquility Fresh Dye Ink Bundle to create a leafy background for the compass.

To create the compass, I used the Floral Odyssey Die Set and Crafty Necessities cardstocks in Dark Night, Heart Beat, and Marshland, along with white cardstock. I layered all the elements and added subtle dimension with foam tape to make the compass pop against the leafy background. To finish the card, I stamped my sentiment in black.

For my second card, I used the Floral Odyssey Silhouette Stamp Set along with the coordinating Die Set. First, I die-cut the centre of the card, and the shape of the cutout served as a guide for stamping the silhouette flowers around it to create the floral background.

I inked every stamp with few different inks: Cloudy Sky, Nimbus, Olive and Moss.

I stamped the sentiment from the set directly onto the card base and adhered the stamped panel on top with foam tape for added dimension.

  1. I just finished a book that included a compass reference for someone to find their way in life. This is a unique die and would be wonderful to include on cards for so many people. I really like your card designs. Both would be great for graduates or for someone starting a new phase of their live.
