If you love creating cards that look detailed and impressive—but are actually simple to make—you are going to fall in love with today’s project! 💕
I’m sharing a beautiful Eclipse Technique card featuring the NEW 2026–2028 In Colors and the elegant Fern & Flora Stamp Set & Dies (available starting May 5th). This technique creates a raised, dimensional effect that instantly elevates your handmade cards—and it’s easier than it looks!
✨ What is the Eclipse Technique?
The Eclipse Technique is a fun way to add dimension to your card by cutting out letters or shapes from your card front and popping them up with dimensionals. The result? A subtle but stunning “peek-through” effect that gives your card that WOW factor.
It’s perfect for:
- Thank you cards
- Birthday cards
- Thinking of you cards
- Elegant, nature-inspired designs
🌸 About the Fern & Flora Bundle
Transform your paper crafts with the dreamy look of night-blooming florals and delicate ferns. The Fern & Flora Bundle combines elegant imagery with heartfelt sentiments—perfect for creating meaningful cards.
Bundle Details:

The coordinating dies make it easy to add layers and dimension, while the stamps create soft, detailed backgrounds that pair beautifully with the Eclipse Technique.

✂️ How to Make This Card (Simple Steps)
- Cut 2 pieces of card stock 3-3/4″ x 5″
- Cut 1 piece of card stock into 1/2″ strips
