Printing Your Design

  • Set your printer to print 2 toppers per page (refer to yesterday's blog post for full details).

This method allows you to print 2 toppers on 1 A4 sheet:

  • Use one topper as your main card front.
  • Use the second topper to cut out elements like flowers for decoupage layers.


Creating the Decoupage Layers

  • Cut out some of the flowers from the second topper to use as decoupage elements.
  • Lay the roses flat on top of the base layer and use foam pads to lift them slightly, adding dimension.
  • For the orchids, shape them using a flower shaping tool and foam pad set.

If you'd like to check out the tools I used, they’re from Spellbinders—here’s the link: https://amzn.to/4gTeLjx


You can use a ball tool and foam mat for shaping but if you would like to take your flower forming to the next level check out this tool set. I bought one for myself, one for Laura and one for the girls and they love theirs!!


This tool set is fantastic for flower forming - the detail it gives to shape leaves and flowers is amazing - there are lots of tutorials for this tool set on youtube so take a peek.

I love the detail scissors and precision tweezers that come in the set too!!!


Adding Extra Decorations

  • Punch out small flowers
  • Make some craft tiny bows to decorate the wreath.
  • Add Nuvo Drops to the centres of the small flowers for a polished finish.
  • Use Stickles or another glitter glue to add a touch of sparkle.
  • I have ran out of flower soft ages ago so i have been using some flock and it is really good, you can find it here: https://amzn.to/4j7X9BQ it is perfect for making your own flowers or using for the centres of the flowers to give them more of a realistic look. There are some lovely colours available - you can find the full range here: https://amzn.to/4fW3ldy


Final Touches

  • Add more liquid pearls to the design for extra decoration.
  • Finish by adding some gems, beads and sequins from your stash for a little extra sparkle and bling!


Now your card is complete, with gorgeous layers, intricate details, and eye-catching embellishments! ✨

  Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! April 28, 2026 Pretty Carnations Card So Many Questions… Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! 💙🍃 I recently shared a card over on Facebook, and I honestly wasn’t expecting the response it received! I’ve had so many lovely comments, questions, and private messages about how I created the flowers — thank you so much 💙 It has got to the point where it’s just physically impossible to reply to everyone individually, so I thought the easiest (and most helpful!) way would be to put everything together here in a blog post for you.

Flowers have always been a huge part of my life. As a fully qualified florist, I spent many years surrounded by beautiful blooms every single day.

I still enjoy dipping back into floristry now and again—whether that’s creating special gifts, working on events, or the occasional wedding. Alongside that, crafting has always been my other passion… so it probably comes as no surprise that the two have blended together over the years in the most wonderful way 💛 Creating flowers out of paper is something I’ve absolutely fallen in love with—and it’s been a passion of mine for over 20 years now.
