Spellbinders Serenity Garden Dimensional Flowers

 


I am a dimensional flower fan but I'm the first to admit that unless I hand someone one of these cards, they are difficult to mail. Don't get me wrong, when I hand someone a card like these, people are amazed.


Today I'm using the Tassel Flower from the Spellbinders
Serenity Garden Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn. The photo above shows all the cards I've made so far using the dies I have. There's also an embossing folder but I don't have that and it's gorgeous! You can see the entire collection by clicking HERE.

I have a YouTube video here:


In the video I show how to put together this flower and how to attach it to a gift without taping it! I saw a gift wrapping video that showed how to wrap a gift with a pocket in front, perfect for a dimensional card. I also have a way to use some foam tape or fun foam so you can keep your card in place with ribbon without gluing ribbon to your card. It really looks great.
The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the April Press + Foil of the Month Plate, you can find that HERE.


I also share my favorite card, with the corrugated cardboard.




The key to dimensional flowers is a shaping tool. It's a ball stylus that you rub over the flowers and leaves which give them dimension. For the red white and blue card, I used Copic markers to color my flowers. For the orange flowers, I used colored cardstock. Either way, these flowers are so pretty.





Supplies are listed below with direct links to the stores that carry them (where they were in stock at the time of this writing). If you use my link to make a purchase, I receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. This really helps me continue providing information. Thank you.

Spellbinders Primrose from the Serenity Garden Collection!

 


Today is my birthday, so I'm going to keep this short and sweet! I had this background I made with Distress Paints. I just put a bunch of colors down on a mat and swiped my paper through. It wasn't my favorite but I kept it to diecut it.

Surprisingly, it looked good with these Primrose flowers from the Spellbinders Serenity Garden Collection. I diecut them from mixed media paper and used watercolor paints to color them. There is something so relaxing to me about using watercolors.

Don't throw away those unloved backgrounds. You never know.

The new Susan Tierney-Cockburn collection is now available at Spellbinders! It's called Serenity Garden. You can see the entire collection by clicking HERE.

Supplies are listed below with direct links to the stores that carry them (where they were in stock at the time of this writing). If you use my link to make a purchase, I receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. This really helps me continue providing information. Thank you.

Spellbinders Astrantia from the Serenity Garden Collection

 


The new Susan Tierney-Cockburn collection is now available at Spellbinders! It's called Serenity Garden. You can see the entire collection by clicking HERE.
I used the Astrantia dieset for my first card today. If you go to the Spellbinders YouTube channel, Susan Tierney-Cockburn has tutorial videos on how to put these flowers together. She also gives information on these flowers, it's so interesting.
I used pink 65 lb cardstock for my flowers and added a bit of darker pink for dimension. I used the Sizzix Shaping Kit to shape the petals and leaves. This flower is a labor of love, each tiny bud is glued in place, reverse tweezers help!
The background is the January 2026 Press and Foil Plate of the Month, Post Card Hello. It sold out originally but is now available for individual purchase.
 I Glimmer hot foiled Matte Gold foil on the light pink cardstock for a vintage look. I used a bit of Tattered Rose Distress Oxide to weather the edges.

Come back tomorrow, I have a video with how to use these flowers on gift packages!
