Today I’m sharing a simple card created using the beautiful Craft-A-Flower: Lily of the Valley Layering Die Set from the May 2025 Release collection. This exquisite layering die set captures the timeless beauty of the Lily of the Valley. Layering the flowers is super easy, and the finished result looks just like a real bunch of delicate blooms.

hello friend

I started by die cutting all the elements from white cardstock and used Jade Dreams Fresh Dye Ink Bundle to blend colour onto the green parts.

hello friend

To create my background, I used the Cloudy Sky acrylic marker from the Acrylic Marker 24 Colour Set - Vol. 1 to draw a checkered pattern.

hello friend

To finish the card, I added a sentiment from the Essential Sentiments Bundle, paired with Hot Foil Roll – Champagne (Mirror) for a beautiful, shiny touch.

hello friend


That’s it for me, your next stop is Erum Tasneem.

Thank you for stopping by today!
