The October 2026 Release collection is packed with beautiful painterly florals, dimensional blooms, and versatile botanical designs, along with clever new tools and storage essentials to make crafting even more enjoyable. For today’s blog hop I used the stunning Build-A-Garden: Joy in Bloom & Add-on Die Bundle to create two CAS cards.
I started by stamping the floral image in black ink, then used the coordinating stencil set to bring the arrangement to life with colour.
I blended a mix of pink shades from the Rose Petal Fresh Dye Ink Set, reddish-brown tones from the Martian Terrain Fresh Dye Ink Set, and warm yellows and oranges from the Sun-Kissed Delights Fresh Dye Ink Bundle. For the leaves, I used Mossy Meadow and Green Opal from the Jade Dreams Fresh Dye Ink Set.
I die-cut the entire floral arrangement using the coordinating add-on die set. The generous size of the design makes it perfect for dividing into two separate projects, giving you even more creative possibilities!
I added a few black ink splatters to each background for contrast and used the remaining floral pieces to create my second card.
To finish both cards, I stamped and die-cut the sentiments included in the set.
That’s it from me today! Your next stop is Emily Midgett. You can find the full line-up below.
Thank you for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the hop!
