While they would look lovely displayed that way, I knew I was far more likely to use the pieces if I turned them into cards instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, that\u2019s exactly what I did. With the contents of one <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com.au\/products\/crafted-blooms-kit?demoid=4000014\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crafted Blooms Kit<\/a><\/strong>, three sheets of Crumb Cake cardstock, one ink pad and a couple of sentiments, I created six floral cards\u2014and still had a few pieces left over.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image18063_d4f58c-32 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image18063_d4f58c-32 size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CBK.png\" alt=\"Stampin Up Crafted Blooms Kit\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-18059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CBK.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CBK-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CBK-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CBK-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CBK-560x560.png 560w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CBK-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CBK-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CBK-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s Included in the Crafted Blooms Kit?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com.au\/products\/crafted-blooms-kit?demoid=4000014\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crafted Blooms Kit<\/a> includes an assortment of layered, die-cut flowers and leaves, decorative background pieces, banners, ovals, printed sentiments, Glue Dots and Stampin\u2019 Dimensionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The colour combination is particularly lovely, with Calypso Coral, Cloud Cover, Crumb Cake, Golden Glow, Old Olive, Peaceful Pine, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink, Secret Sea and Strawberry Slush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The flowers are printed on both sides, which is a great little detail when you\u2019re shaping the petals. You don\u2019t see a plain white reverse side if the edges lift away from the card.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id18063_2e5f42-a6 >

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparing the Layered Flowers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are quite a few pieces to punch out and assemble, so I prepared most of mine before the Live. It took around an hour, but the flowers themselves were very easy to put together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gently shape each layer with a Bone Folder before adhering the pieces together. Be careful when removing and shaping the leaves, as the finer sections can tear if you pull too firmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Offset the flower layers slightly rather than trying to line everything up perfectly. Flowers aren\u2019t perfectly symmetrical in nature, so the uneven placement helps them look fuller and more interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image18063_7ef587-71 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image18063_7ef587-71 size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/YT-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-18066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/YT-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/YT-1-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/YT-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/YT-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/YT-1-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/YT-1-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.alisatilsner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/YT-1.jpg 1537w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turning Three Projects into Six Cards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I divided the assembled flowers into the three groups shown in the kit instructions. Instead of placing each entire arrangement onto one clipboard piece, I split every group across two cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crumb Cake was the perfect choice for the card bases. The decorative pieces in the kit have a softer white tone, so using Crumb Cake avoided having two slightly different whites sitting next to one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I trimmed some of the decorative panels to fit the card fronts and used the offcuts as strips, banners and smaller background layers. Even the foreign-language sentiment pieces could be reversed and used as plain decorative elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To keep the cards dimensional, I placed Stampin\u2019 Dimensionals towards the centre of the larger flowers. This left room around the edges to tuck in leaves and smaller flowers. I also allowed some leaves and petals to remain loose rather than gluing every edge flat.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id18063_c1875e-8d >
