Handmade card making and papercrafting tips and techniques

Year of Flowers Cards

4 months

I have been playing around with the new March Online Exclusive bundle called Year of Flowers. Without a doubt, birth flowers are a beautiful way to represent someone special. You can use the Year of Flowers Bundle to make delicate birthday cards, Mother’s Day cards, baby shower cards, and more. Basically, you can also use the dies with the coordinating stamps to make birth flower bouquets!

With this in mind, how special would a birth flower birthday card be?! Or a Mother’s Day card with a bouquet of birth flowers representing each child? Now you can make just that with the Year of Flowers Stamp Set! This stamp set features a birth flower for every month of the year plus some delightful sentiments. So have fun with all the creative possibilities this stamp set offers! There are crafting dies that cut out each month’s birth flower, plus some sprigs and a label for extra options.
