Amassing tiny paper die cut flowers on a card can add tons of impact despite their dainty size!
I just love this look of all these tiny paper die cut flowers on a card that I made using a white on white layered frame made with Rubbernecker’s Decorative Rectangle and Elegant Scroll Rectangle to give them the perfect spot to just burst right out of! And as detailed and dimensional as these little blossoms made with the Small Flowers #5 are, they are relatively easy to make all in a batch. The placement of them on the die cut greenery made with the Branches and Leaves adds all the impact and in this post I will share all my tips for you to reproduce this look in your own craft corner.
Read on to get all my insider scoop!
Card Base and Decorative Layers
- Use white cardstock to cut an A2 sized card base, large Decorative Rectangle and small Elegant Scroll layers. Pro Tip: I use a paper shim over intricate dies when running them through the die cutting machine to get a clean cut.
- Apply strips of mounting tape to the back of the Decorative Rectangle layer and attach it to the card base.
- Line up a small oval die (I used Rubbernecker’s retired Nesting Ovals but you can use any appropriately sized oval die) over the Elegant Scroll die, secure it in place and run through the machine to cut a frame opening.
- Apply strips of mounting tape to the back of the frame and attach it to the decorative layer.
Branches and Flowers
- Use green cardstock to cut two or three sets of the Branches and Leaves.
- Trim the branches to fit within the frame and begin attaching them to the base using glossy accents.
- Continue adding until you have created a nice leafy bouquet.
- Use pink, purple and yellow cardstock to cut the Small Flowers #5.
- Place the flowers face up on the molding pad, push down in the centers with a small tipped stylus to form them. You can do these all at once to save time.
- Randomly attach the flowers to the branches using glossy accents.
- Finish by attaching tiny white circles to the flowers centers using glossy accents. Pro Tip: I save all the negative circles from cutting eyelet dies to use for flower centers, snowflakes, etc.
It’s that easy! As I mentioned in this post, using these little flowers en masse is a very easy way to create a lot of impact with not a lot of effort! Here’s what I used from Rubbernecker to make this card:

And here are my everyday items in case you wanted to get an inside peek at what I use and how to find them.
You really can’t go wrong by using a big bunch of tiny paper die cut flowers on a card. I builds texture and dimension and adds a ton of impact. And set against white on white adds even MORE texture and gives them a built in spotlight!
I love your projects with Tiny Flowers. Hoping to play with these soon.
Thank you so much, Mary!
