It's been years since I have made one of these and thought it would be cute combo for a New Home card, except mine will accompany a few chocolates and a bottle of wine!
I have used the Digital Florist Pretty Primula Flower Forming Sheet which comes with 2 bonus plain A4 colour sheets by Opulence by Design.
I printed my flowers as usual onto 120 gsm colour document Navigator paper, which I like to use as it works well for me.
I also used the Digital Florist Pansy Leaf flower forming sheets which also come with the 2 A4 bonus colour sheets.
The colourways of these sheets are just perfect for die cutting your foilage too. I often find it hard to find the right shade to green for my cards and foliage. Also, if you want a perfect match on both sides for your leaves , you can print the lighter colour block page on the other side of your foliage.
This is a Stamping Up design, originally from the famous 'Hallet Bag' which was created by Caroline Hallet. I have attached a link to her UTube channel below to follow the tutorial for the bag and many others on her channel.

For my tote bag I used a 200gsm card to print my plain colour block sheets (double sided) for a bit more structure for my tote bag.
I thought that this project would be a good example to show that this download kit is great for your card craft projects too.
I am really loving these Pansy leaves at the moment. I know these are Primulas but when I saw them online, I just thought of all floral projects that I could add them to and liked how they looked when added to these primulas too. They have a natural highlight to them, so when you shape them, they don't look flat. I like to print the lighter plain green colour block on the other side of the leaves so that when I curl them, they mirror the front.
If you are interested in more inspiration from Opulence by Design and love making flowers as I do you can follow her on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@opulencebydesign/featured
The bunting came from a Tattered Lace die that I remembered I had in my stash and I added some small white peel offs that just fit onto the flags. This one is ready to go now and I've just included one more picture of my own primulas from my garden this year.
Enjoy your week whatever you have planned and it looks as if the sunshine is staying with us too.
Happy crafting

WOW! What a beautiful set! Awesome card and giftbag! Love the colors.
Thanks so much for your lovely comments x
This is such a gorgeous set. I love that you explained all those tips for making more realistic flowers. I love making flowers, but sometimes mine look a little too cartoonish. Yours are just lovely.
What a wonderful "welcome home" gift, Michelle! It's not only thoughtful, but so sweet! Thanks for the links, and the multiple photos. Looks beautiful, and will be deeply appreciated!
