Christmas Bouquet Cards with Alex Syberia Designs Die Set

Handmade Christmas bouquet cards created with the Alex Syberia Designs Christmas Bouquet Die Set, featuring layered florals, leaves, stems and striking dark backgrounds.

Dear Bloggers,

This set of handmade Christmas cards was created using the Alex Syberia Designs Christmas Bouquet Die Set. It is such a beautiful die set and really sets you up for success, as it includes a helpful template to guide the placement of all the die-cut pieces.

The bouquet is large and full of lovely details, including beautifully shaped flowers, buds, leaves and stems. The set also includes a shadow die, which makes it easy to create extra depth and definition behind the floral arrangement.

If you would like to see other cards using these die cuts without he template please see my next post.

For these cards, the Christmas bouquet was placed mainly on black backgrounds because the contrast felt very striking. The bright festive florals really stand out against the darker cardstock, giving the cards a bold and elegant look. However, this design would work beautifully with almost any background colour, from soft neutrals to classic Christmas reds, greens or metallics.

In this example, I used a white background with a kraft cardstock shadow behind the bouquet. I also added a white paint splatter for a little extra texture. It was meant to be quite subtle, but I went a bit heavier than planned. In the end, I actually liked the effect, as the stronger splatter gives the card a more handmade, snowy feel.

This is a gorgeous die set for festive cardmaking, especially if you enjoy layered die cuts, floral Christmas cards and handmade cards with a polished finish.

A full list of all the materials used to create these cards is included at the end of this post.
