The May 2026 Release collection is filled with gorgeous creative inspiration, and one of the standout products that immediately caught my eye is the Craft-A-Flower: Grand Dahlia Layering Die Set.
This beautiful layering die set creates a gorgeous dahlia bloom packed with dimension, texture, and elegant detail perfect for projects that truly make a statement. I absolutely love how effortlessly the layered petals come together to create such a realistic and full floral design.
I die cut all the elements from white cardstock and then added colour using Rose Quartz, Buttercream and green shades from the Tropical Forest Fresh Dye Ink Bundle. Starting with white cardstock is one of my favourite ways to customise layered florals because it gives complete control over the colour intensity and shading.
I wanted to let the flowers take centre stage by pairing them with a clean background created using a floral image from the Build-A-Garden: Flourished Flora & Add-On Die Bundle. I stamped the image in black ink and die cut it using the coordinating die. The Hello sentiment is from Regal Flourishes bundle.
That’s it from me today! Your next stop is Michelle Short. You can find the full line-up below.
Thank you for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the hop!
