As beautiful and detailed as this purple and white handmade card is, it is also incredibly easy to make – check it out!

I adore all the details on this purple and white handmade card and when you see how easy they are to make, you are going to want to grab everything I used and make one of these in every single shade you can! Combine the design with any sentiment and you’ve got a card that is practically perfect for any occasion.

To make this card I used the Rubbernecker Stackable Flowers and Leaves #3 and  Floral Frame dies and my own Kittie Says Friends stamp set for the sentiment. The flower is very easy to make as you will see below and the technique I used to add that rich dimension can be applied to any layered die cut flower.

Let’s take a look at the making so you can get excited about how you want to use this beautiful design!

Card Base and Floral Frame

• Use white cardstock to cut an A2 sized card base and the Floral Frame.
• Secure the card base and sentiment stamp in the MISTI and stamp the sentiment using Nocturne ink.  Pro Tip:  I used the frame laid over the card base to judge where I wanted the sentiment to be.
• Apply thin strips of mounting tape all the way around the back of the frame border.
• Attach the frame to the card base.
• Use white cardstock attached to a Scor-Tap Sheet to cut several sets of the smaller leaf branch sections from the Floral Frame.  Pro Tip:  I wanted to keep the leaf centers attached.
• Set the leaves aside.

Forming the Die Cut Flowers

• Use purple cardstock to cut two sections of the largest flower in the Stackable Flowers and Leaves #3 set and one section of the two smaller sizes.
• Use needle nose pliers or tweezers to curl one side of each petal down.

• Use the pliers to roll the other side of the petal up.  Pro Tip:  I like to use the needle nose pliers instead of tweezers because they create a stronger hold when turning the petals.  This is one of my favorite ways to add dimension to flower petals.

• Use glossy accents to attach the flower layers together making sure to offset each layer for a natural looking flower.
• Use purple cardstock to cut several of the smallest flowers in the set.
• Place the tiny flowers face up on the molding pad and gently push down in the centers using a small tipped stylus.

Adding the Die Cut Flowers to the Die Cut Frame

• Apply a generous amount of glossy accents to the back of the flower and attach it to the top corner of the frame and card base.
• Tuck the branches under the flower and attach using glossy accents.
• Apply glossy accents to the back of the tiny flowers and attach them to the branches.
• Finish by attaching a 1/4″ white circle to the large flower using a small piece of mounting tape.
• Attach the tiny white circles to the tiny flowers using glossy accents.  Pro Tip:  I save all the negative leftover circles from cutting eyelet dies.  They are always handy to have to use for flower centers, snowflakes, etc.  Pro Tip:  I always place these small circles on my molding pad because it makes it easy for me to scoot my tweezers under them to pick them up.  Pro Tip:  I always wait to place the little flower centers after they are attached to the branches.  They are stable and much easier to place the circles with my tweezers.
