Handmade Cards with Handmade Flowers: Featuring Stamperia’s Golden Harmony Collection
Hello crafters!
Today, I’m thrilled to share with you two elegant handmade cards I recently created using Stamperia’s Golden Harmony collection, a line I had the privilege of designing myself. These cards exude vintage charm and timeless elegance, thanks to the intricate patterns from the collection combined with handmade fabric flowers I crafted specifically for this project.
The Inspiration Behind the Cards
For these cards, I decided to embrace soft, neutral tones complemented by pops of color from vibrant red and cream flowers. The compositions are similar, with both featuring layered vintage elements, intricate die cuts, and, of course, my handmade flowers as the centerpiece. Although they share a cohesive style, each card stands out with its unique arrangement and detailing.
To bring these cards to life, I focused on layering various textures and elements:
- Base Layers: I used papers from the Golden Harmony collection. The muted tones create a perfect backdrop for the details.
- Die Cuts and Embellishments: Labels, letters, clock designs, and textured elements from the collection add depth and dimension.
- Handmade Flowers: Flowers I crafted myself. Using stiffened fabric scraps and a bit of patience, I created flowers that feel both delicate and bold. Their handmade charm adds a personal, tactile touch to the design.
Watch the Process!
To give you a closer look at how one of these cards was made, I’ve created a short video tutorial. In the video, you’ll see how I:

A Tip for Double Creativity
If you’re like me and enjoy creating in sets, try making two or more cards at the same time! Working with similar compositions allows you to experiment with variations while maintaining efficiency. For these cards, I swapped a few design elements to ensure they each had a unique charm.
Handmade cards are a beautiful way to share love and creativity with others. Whether for a birthday, anniversary, or any special occasion, the personal touch of crafting with your hands makes every card a treasured keepsake.
