🌸 New Launch: Beautiful Blooms – Pretty Carnations 🌸


Today I’m so excited to be sharing our latest release from the Beautiful Blooms collection…

Introducing the Pretty Carnations Cardmaking & Papercrafting Kit (Mixed Dianthus) 💕


You can find the cardmaking and papercrafting kit on the website here - https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/4HFqd






🌸 A Collection Made with Love


This isn’t just a cardmaking kit — it’s a collection that has been weeks and weeks in the making. Every page has been thoughtfully designed, with so much love and creativity poured into all the little details.


I’ve had the absolute pleasure of creating lots of beautiful sample cards to share with you, and I really hope they inspire you. This kit has been designed to be versatile and easy to use, whether you enjoy quick makes or more detailed, layered projects.


✂️ More Than Just Cardmaking


Although perfect for cards, this collection works beautifully across a range of papercrafting projects. You can use it for:

  • Layered card designs
  • Gift tags and toppers
  • Scrapbooking elements
  • Mixed media projects
  • Junk Journals
  • Album Crafts
  • Mdf projects
  • Decoupage / decopatch



Don’t be afraid to experiment with your printing too — this kit looks stunning on different paper types. Try printing onto:


  • Glossy photo paper for vibrant colour
  • Matte cardstock for a softer look
  • Vellum for delicate layering
  • Rice paper for a more textured, artistic finish

💕 Final Thoughts


I truly hope you love working with this collection as much as I’ve loved designing and creating with it. It has been such a joy to bring together, and I can’t wait to see how you use it in your own projects.

Be sure to scroll through the samples for ideas and inspiration — I’ve shared plenty of ways you can mix and match the elements to create something really special 🌸


Happy Crafting,

Amanda

  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.

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.
