Transform Flat Die Cuts into Dimensional Florals | Jody Morrow

Hi, Pinkfresh friends!

Today I'm sharing a card that proves die-cut flowers don't have to look flat. While die-cut florals are beautiful on their own, a few simple techniques can transform them into dimensional focal points that practically jump off the card.

For this design, I focused on creating depth in several ways. Strategic ink blending adds contrast and visual shaping to each flower and leaf. Stacked die cuts provide additional height and sturdiness, while a combination of liquid glue and varying thicknesses of foam tape creates natural layers throughout the arrangement. These small details work together to give the flowers a much more realistic and dimensional appearance.

The result is a bright floral card filled with texture, depth, and movement. Let's take a look at how it came together!

How to re-create this card:

  1. Create a side-folding A2 card base from white cardstock.
  2. Die cut the stitched basket weave coverplate from white cardstock. Ink blend the die cut using Mimosa and Mango Sorbet inks, concentrating the color around the outer edges and fading toward the center.
  3. Adhere the ink-blended panel to the card base using liquid glue.
  4. Die cut a stitched rectangle from white cardstock.
  5. Spatter the rectangle with black acrylic paint, then set it aside to dry.
  6. Ink blend the floral and greenery on an A2 piece of white cardstock using the coordinating stencils:
    1. Mango Sorbet
    2. Sunkissed
    3. Sunshine
    4. Fresh Pear, Grassy Knoll
  7. Die cut the floral and foliage pieces from white cardstock.
  8. Assemble the flowers using a variety of thick and foam tape squares and liquid glue.
  9. Arrange and adhere the foliage to the stitched rectangle using liquid glue, forming some of the leaves upward.
  10. Adhere the flowers over the foliage using a variety of foam square thicknesses for added dimension.
  11. Stamp the sentiment using Detail Black ink and die cut with the coordinating die.
  12. Stack the sentiment with one additional blank die cut for added sturdiness.
  13. Adhere the sentiment to the lower-right portion of the floral arrangement with liquid glue.
  14. Adhere the completed rectangle panel to the card using thick foam tape.

I love how much dimension and interest this card has while using a relatively simple color palette. The florals create a bold focal point against the textured background, while the soft green foliage adds balance and movement throughout the design.

This project is also a wonderful reminder that die-cut florals can be every bit as detailed and dimensional as stamped images. A little ink blending, layering, and thoughtful placement can transform simple die cuts into a beautiful handmade card perfect for sending encouragement, friendship, or love.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this card inspires you to pull out your favorite floral dies and experiment with layering and dimension on your next project.
