Hello crafters, card makers, and stampers! Happy New Year! I hope that 2025 brings you a year of good health, joy, and creativity! I’ve been sharing cards with the Delightful Wishes Bundle for the last couple of days, and you can see my previous cards with this bundle HERE and HERE.
I’m so thrilled to be sharing a Japanese inspired handmade card with you today. As soon as I saw the delicate blossoms and branch in the Delightful Wishes Bundle, I was reminded of the beautiful cherry blossoms I’ve seen in Japan. To create these gorgeous flowers, I’ve stamped in Flirty Flamingo to mimic the cherry blossom colours. The eyelet die cut from this same bundle was perfect for a little nod to Japanese screens as well.
Kintsugi is a Japanese technique of repairing broken pottery with gold, and it’s quite stunning. The faux kintsugi technique I’ve used on my Japanese inspired handmade card is made possible with the branch die from the Delightful Wishes Bundle and Gold Foil Paper. If you’re wondering how to do this technique, make sure you follow me on Instagram. I’ll be posting a reel today showing exactly how I achieved this look.
