Welcome back to another recap of our Crafty Coffee Hour livestream! This week, we dove into the delightful world of card making with a focus on a simple yet elegant floral design. Using dies, stencils, and stamps from Concord and 9th, I was able to share how to make this beautiful card that’s perfect for any occasion.
If you missed the livestream, don’t worry! Here’s a detailed walkthrough of our project, along with some stenciling tips to help you achieve flawless results every time. At the end of the post, I have added the link so that you can enjoy the video tutorial.

This floral card was crafted using dies, stencils, and stamps from Concord and 9th’s Sweet Bee Collection. This is an older collection in my craft stash, and I love showing ways to use items you might have forgotten about. It’s great for any occasion.
We started with a set of layered stencils, and added a blend of inks from Gina K and Simon Says Stamp. I started with lighter shades and gradually add darker tones to achieve a seamless blend.
Soft blending brushes are essential for smooth transitions between colors. They prevent harsh lines and help create a soft, airy effect. Having brushes in different sizes allows you to work on both large areas and small details with precision. Use larger brushes for broad strokes and smaller ones for intricate parts.
For the stenciled background, we used a new favorite diamond pattern with a stitched design. This stencil was a bit tricky to use at first, but with the right technique, it produced a stunning solid image. I shared how to use circular motions and start with light pressure and gradually increase it to build up the color intensity.
