Hello, crafty friends! It’s TaeEun here today, sharing a floral card featuring the Steeped in Kindness Press Plate, Elegant Circles, and Stitched Basket Weave coverplate die. I created a DIY dimensional floral background using the cute floral elements from the Steeped in Kindness suite. With spring just around the corner in the northern hemisphere, I chose a soft pastel color palette for this card.

*Disclaimer: All products used are linked below as clickable images. If a product isn’t listed, it’s been discontinued.

Here’s how I made this card:

1. Hot foil the floral images and the bird from the Steeped in Kindness Press Plate in gold three times.
2. Use the coordinating stencils to color the hot foiled images with the following ink shades:
   - Flowers : Apricot, Peony, Coral Reef
   - Small flowers : Peony, Lavender, Summer Shower
   - Leaves : Summer Shower, Ocean Breeze, Grassy Knoll
   - Stem : Sheer Freesia
   - Center of the flowers : Sweet Mustard
   - Bird : Blue Jay, Candy Violet, Summer Shower / Beak and feet : Metropolis
3. Cut the images using the coordinating die.
4. Ink blend an A2 sized white panel in Apricot, Peony, Ocean Breeze, and Grassy Knoll, leaving the center uncolored.
5. Die cut the background panel with the Stitched Basket Weave coverplate die and adhere it to a white cardbase.
6. Arrange the stenciled flowers onto the card as shown, using foam tape for added dimension.
7. Trim any excess elements from the edges.
8. Die cut the Elegant Circle twice from white cardstock and once from Glacier Glitter Cardstock, layer them together, and add to the center of the card.
9. Hot foil the sentiment from the Steeped in Kindness Press Plate and the second sentiment from the Favorite Things Sentiments Press Plate in gold, and cut with the coordinating dies.
10. Add the sentiments using foam tape and place the bird on top of them.
11. Embellish with a few Gold Metallic Pearls for a finishing touch.

I love how the gold foiling adds a touch of elegance to this soft pastel card! I hope this inspires you to create your own spring-themed projects.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and happy crafting!
