Our latest release in the Beautiful Blooms collection Opulence By Design Crafts – Beautiful Blooms Spring Bouquet Cardmaking Kit, I wanted to show just how versatile this collection really is.

💜 Card Inspiration


To give you a feel for what you can create, I’ve made a simple square card as one of my samples. I kept this one clean and elegant with some simple matting and layering, allowing the design to really shine.





I used the image from Page 1, printed onto glossy paper, which gives it a beautiful, polished finish.

I also have three stunning design team photos from Laura that really showcase how versatile this kit can be:


A beautiful easel card, shown both standing and folded, which really highlights how you can use the elements to create dimension and structure. perfect for using with elements in your stash such as pretty card and paper for matting and layering and some flowers and leaves


Laura also used some of the printable ivy leaves if you would like to take a peek at these you can find these here along with some die cur foliage and a punched vellum handmade flower





  • A gorgeous square card featuring the bold floral designer paper, paired with a topper from the topper sheet and finished with an intricate die-cut detail


Laura also incorporated a sentiment she had already prepared from another project, which just goes to show how easily this kit works alongside your existing stash, some gems and lots of lovely matting and layering


(The beautiful die cut below is from a Spellbinders die called A2 Swirl)


🌿 Endless Possibilities


One of the things I love most about this collection is how adaptable it is. While you’ll see square cards here, this kit is by no means limited to that format.


You can use it for:

  • Different card sizes and shapes




  • Easel cards, gatefold cards, fancy folds and more
  • Scrapbooking and journaling



  • Mixed media and other papercraft projects




It really is a kit that grows with your creativity and is ideal for working with what you have in your stash already - ribbons, gems flowers etc...



Make your own gift tags and book marks, note cards and stationery


Don’t forget—you can also experiment with printing onto different papers such as glossy, matte, vellum, or even rice paper to create completely unique looks and textures 🌿

💜 Final Thoughts


I truly hope these samples give you a little inspiration to have a go yourself. This collection has been created with so much care and attention, and I can’t wait to see how you bring it to life in your own projects.

Whether you love simple and elegant or detailed and dimensional designs, this kit gives you everything you need to create something beautiful 💜🌿


Happy Crafting
