Bloom Cards Hayley Bignall has combined vintage-chic touches for these elegant makes

e love the delicate florals and combination of shapes that Hayley has used to craft these cards. If you’re new to layering or card-making, start with the square project - it’s super simple, really effective and you’ll be able to practise your skills before moving on to the other two makes. But, if you’re a card-making expert… these makes are still for you! You’ll be able to create a complementary set of greetings, and if you batch-make, you’ll have something in the bag whenever you’ve forgotten a special day!
