Layered Florals with a Touch of Shimmer ~ CP & Sizzix


I had so much fun playing with the beautiful new Sizzix & Catherine Pooler products for today’s card! This design is all about texture, color, and layering—three of my favorite things in cardmaking.

To start, I created a soft and elegant background by embossing a panel of white cardstock using the new “Scallop Framed Florals” embossing folder. The subtle raised detail adds just the right amount of interest while still letting the focal design shine.


Next came the fun part—die cutting and layering! I used the gorgeous blooms from the “Friendly Florals Dies” set and cut them from a vibrant mix of Catherine Pooler cardstock in Samba, Pixie Dust, Glam, and Aquatini. I absolutely love how these colors pop against the clean white background!

Once all my pieces were cut, I arranged them into a loose floral cluster across the top of the card. These dies are so fun to mix and match, and I love how easy they make it to build a full, layered arrangement.


To add a little extra sparkle, I brushed some Pixie Dust Shimmer onto a few of the purple die cuts. It gives such a soft, glowy finish and really brings those elements to life in the light.

This card came together so easily and is a great reminder of how impactful simple die cutting and layering can be. A little texture, a bold color palette, and a hint of shimmer go a long way!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
