Hello, lovely crafters!


I’m so excited to finally share the launch of our latest Bold Botanicals Signature Series kit — Parade of Poppies! This one has truly been a labour of love, and I can't begin to tell you how much joy it’s brought us in the craft room. Laura and I have been completely swept up in the creativity — we honestly couldn’t stop making with it!


From vibrant poppies to delicate fussy cut florals, this kit is bursting with soft pastel tones and pretty vintage shabby chic style vibes. Whether you're a cardmaker, a journal lover, or someone who enjoys dabbling in mixed media and home décor, this 40-page kit is packed with versatile elements to inspire your next project.

40 Beautifully Designed A4 Pages

Introducing the Parade of Poppies – a breathtaking collection from our Bold Botanicals Signature Series! Bursting with charm, this 40-page kit is a floral celebration of soft pastels, dreamy watercolours, and artistic florals perfect for year-round creativity. Whether you're crafting cards, decorating your home, or diving into mixed media, this kit is designed to inspire your imagination.


The Digital Florist Collection is truly a labour of love, inspired by my years as a florist and my passion for all things floral. Working with real blooms day in and day out has given me a deep appreciation for their delicate beauty and endless variety—and that love has naturally flowed into my crafting. This collection is all about bringing that floral magic to your makes! I designed these printable flowers so you can cut them out, layer them up for decoupaged effects, or shape them into beautiful 3D florals using a ball tool and shaping mat. Whether you're adorning a card, album, or home décor piece, I hope these digital blooms inspire you to create something truly special.
