Hello, Altenew friends! This is Virginia here. I have 3 different cards with Majestic Bouquet Stamp & Die Bundle. This 8″ x 12″ multi-layered flower stamp set comes with two large flowers (4 layers each), 3 sets of small/large leaves (3 layers each), and 11 lovely sentiments. The name says it all–majestic!
The first card is all about that layers of colors and shades. The flower color combos are Coral Berry, Cotton Candy, and Heart Beat). The leaves are Sunray, Silver Lake, and Gray Denim.
I find it very useful to use patterned paper to accentuate the stamped images. The good news is Altenew ink (Gentleman's Gray) is perfect with the Poured Acrylic Paper Pack.
To add textures and interest to the pattern paper, I ran it through the die cutting machine with Angled Mosaic 3D Embossing Folder. If you have not tried using embossing folders with patterned paper, you totally should!
Once I finished adhering the pieces with Instant Dimension Foam Tape, a few droplets of Antique Silver Metallic Ink Spray splatter made this card complete!
If you like to take your stamping skills to new heights, the next shows that you can! Thanks to the coordinating Majestic Blooms 3D Embossing Folder, your stamped images will now have an extra element-dimensions!
For the leaves and background, I mixed up the blend of Secret Garden and Cerulean Skies. For the large bloom, I used Enchanted Garden with a touch of blue.
If you are challenged with the composition of floral arrangement, the embossing folder will be helpful. You can stamp directly onto the dry-embossed images. How cool is that?
If you don't want to stamp all of the flowers and leaves, you can leave it un-stamped (like I did at the bottom).
The last card is all about effortlessness and simplicity. I used the smaller bloom with the 3D embossing folder. After stamping it in blue shades, I die cut and popped it over the dry-embossed image. The scale and size of the embossing folder match perfectly with these stamped images.
The flower (Iceberg, Baby Pink, and Starlight) and leaves (Sunray, Grass Field, Firefly) are die cut and popped up over the dry-embossed image.
The Real Gray Cardstock is just perfect with these stamped and dry-embossed images.
Here is a closer look at the three cards with the Majestic Bouquet.

Absolutely beautiful cards × 3! 💐
I have been following you for years and you never fail to come up with beautiful, creative designs. I am constantly impressed. And these three above are examples of that. Beautiful! Thank you so much Virginia.
Three stunning cards. Thanks for the design tips.
incredible cards!!
All 3 of time cards are gorgeous! I think that the second card is my favorite. I love the look of the stamped image on top of the matching embossed image. I like all the different color schemes you used, the splatter, the patterned paper, and pretty much everything about the cards.
So beautiful!
Beautiful trio with this Majestic bouquet.
Love the 3 cards, too hard to pick a favorite.
Wow Virginia, I love your cards. The second is my favourite but I’m really impressed by the technique employed with the last card – covering up the embossed bits with the stamped bits is very avantgarde and I like it.
