Stitched Floral Cards

Hello crafty friends, TGIF!
Today I will share with you pretty floral cards featuring MFT Stitched Flowers Die-Namics.

If you are who makes flower cards, you probably have at least one favourite flower die set. MFT Stitched Flower die set is one of my all-time favourites. This beautiful floral die set has been around for a while, but thankfully it hasn’t been retired yet (hopefully it will be back soon).



For the first card, I applied the Altenew Diamond Stars 3D embossing folder to kraft paper panel first, then slightly distressed the edges using Tim Holtz Paper Distresser to make a bit rough edges. I die cut some stitched flowers from thick white cardstock using MFT Stitched Flower dies, then inked them with yellow (Wild Honey) & red (Festive Berries) distress inks.




For the second card, I made a daisy card using the MFT Stitched Flower die set. I used the same supplies as in my first card but made a different layout.

For the background panel, I dry embossed with Diamond Stars 3D embossing folder, then applied pigment white ink on the panel. Pigment white ink is very vivid and bright. So, to avoid applying it too heavily, I brushed onto the kraft panel with a blending brush.



For my last card today, I made a ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ card. I simply die cut the stitched flowers from several coloured cardstock first, then assembled them together as you can see the picture.

For the sentiment, I used SSS Reverse Mom Days Sentiment Strips.


Along with PPP clear droplets, one thing I almost always use on my flower cards is a white butterfly. When tiny butterflies and clear droplets are placed around or on top of the flowers, the flowers seem to look much fresher and more beautiful, please say “YES!”. :D

I think I will continuously be mixing old and new products to make my cards-there are many oldies that I absolutely cherish. I really hope you love my cards. :D

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

Peony Dream

Hello crafty friends!
Today I want to share with you a couple of my floral cards with Altenew Peony Dream 3D die set. I have several Altenew layering flower die sets, and without a doubt, they are all truly amazing!

For the first card, I made a watercolour floral card with the Peony Dream die set. I die cut all pieces from watercolour paper first, assembled flowers & leaves using fine tip glue pen. Set aside the assembled flowers and leaves for a moment before watercolouring, I dry embossed a A2 paper panel using SSS Lumen embossing folder, then lightly ink blended it with Scattered Straw & Bundled Sage distress inks. I added same coloured ink splatters as well.

Watercolouring time!! Of course, I have other watercolour supplies, but when I make cards, I habitually use distress inks or reinkers. For this peonies, I used Tattered Rose, Barn Door, Vintage Photo and Scattered Straw for petals, Bundled Sage and Mowed Lawn for leaves. I didn’t forget to add clear droplets on the card – Pretty Pink Posh 4mm clear droplets are also an essential in my floral cards. When I place these clear droplets on the flowers, it feels as if the paper flowers might come to life like real ones. :D



Here is another floral card with Peony Dream die set.

I made five petals and four leaves using coloured cardstock. I die cut the pieces and assembled them using fine tip glue pen. And then, decorated all petals & leaves around the sentiment banner. I used Neenah Smooth Desert Storm cardstock as my card base.

“GOD understands our prayers even when we can’t put them into words.” – isn’t it beautiful? When my heart is so heavy that I can’t even say, this phrase is truly comforting.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Leafy Blessed Cards

Long time no see, crafty friends!!
It’s been a whole year-I am finally back on the blog after such a long time! I had such a strong desire to connect with you all through cards every single day, but time just wouldn’t allow it. During this precious long Easter holiday, as I sat down to make cards again, I realised just how much joy cardmaking brings me. I’ve decided to reconnect with all of my crafty friends through cards once more. :D

Today, I will share with you three of my leafy “Blessed” cards. Can’t lie, I made them and I’m kinda obsessed! Haha!

The main supply for my today’s cards is the Altenew Floating Foliage 3D Embossing Folder – the leafy background is really gorgeous, even just this leafy pattern on the white cardstock is so pretty, don’t you think?!!

I ink blended with several green and yellow distress inks on the leafy background using ink blending tool and, to give it a watercolour look, I lightly touched the ink-blended pattern with a water brush. For the ink blended background panel, I used Mowed Lawn, Crushed Olive, Bundled Sage, Antique Linen, Scattered Straw and Aged Mahogany Distress inks.

For the first card, I added white and vellum Leafy Wreath from Altenew and gold “Blessed” sentiment from MFT on the A2 sized leafy pattern card.

I decorated the wreath using clear crystals from Paper Rose Studio. I love this bling-bling, shiny wreath so much!

For my second card, I added beautiful butterflies and “Blessed” sentiment from MFT over the A2 sized leafy pattern card. For the “Blessed” sentiment, I die cut it from kraft cardstock and applied Vintage Photo distress ink.



For my last card today, I added white Leafy Garland from Altenew and gold “Blessed” sentiment from MFT on the A2 sized leafy pattern card.

I decorated the wreath using PPP 4mm clear droplets. I love how sparkly and shiny this wreath turned out! :)

From now on, I plan to share cards I make on my blog, then give away through Instagram (@rejoicingcrafts). I want to give back the joy and happiness I’ve received from my wonderful followers by sharing it through my handmade cards. I hope for your warm support and interest! :D

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
