Together by Design is a monthly collaboration where a small group of designers all create with products from the same featured brand. Each of us chooses a favorite product and puts our own creative spin on it, showing just how many different ways one brand can inspire. Follow along, explore every project, and discover new designers and new favorites along the way.

For our first Together by Design collaboration, we are featuring Kristina Werner Designs, available through Concord & 9th. Her Pretty Posies collection instantly pulled me in, especially the way the flower dies come in multiple sizes that layer and arrange so naturally on a card.

I kept this set focused on soft pinks, magentas, and fresh greens so all three cards would feel connected while still letting each design stand on its own. The mix of large statement blooms and smaller accent flowers made it easy to build compositions that feel full without becoming heavy.

Card One:   Thanks for All You Do

This card features layered Pretty Posies blooms flowing vertically across a crisp white panel, creating a strong visual line that leads directly into the sentiment. Soft ink blending across each petal adds depth while keeping the overall look light and airy. I love how the larger flowers anchor the design while the smaller blossoms tuck in for balance.

Card Two:  Just Saying Hello

For this design, I leaned into a more circular arrangement, letting the flowers wrap around the sentiment like a floral frame. The background adds subtle interest without competing with the dimensional die cuts. A simple twine bow brings in a bit of softness that keeps the card feeling friendly and approachable.

Card Three:  Thinking of You

This card is all about layered florals framing a pretty tag. Stacking the Pretty Posies in varying sizes creates natural depth, while the clean white base keeps everything feeling fresh and modern. The sentiment stays simple so the florals can really take center stage.

This was such a fun way to kick off Together by Design with Kristina Werner Designs, and I loved seeing how everyone approached the same brand so differently. Be sure to visit the other designers featured this month and explore their beautiful takes on this collection.
