Create a dimensional birthday card featuring the Hero Arts Layered Lilac Die Set paired with elegant texture from the Spellbinders Petite Tuft 3D Embossing Folder. In this video, I’m sharing how I designed a custom 60th birthday card using layered floral die cuts, partial die cutting techniques, foiled sentiments, and plenty of sparkle.
If you love realistic floral die cutting, 5x7 card designs, and adding depth to your handmade cards, this tutorial walks you through the entire process step by step.
You’ll see how to:
• Build a dimensional lilac using multiple shades of cardstock
• Shape small die cut flowers with a ball stylus tool
• Add realistic depth without ink blending
• Customize a die using partial die cutting
• Create a sturdy 5x7 top-folding card base
• Add gold foil sentiments for an elegant finish
• Use gems to enhance flower centers and elevate the design
This layered lilac birthday card is perfect for milestone celebrations like a 60th birthday, Mother’s Day, or any special occasion that calls for something meaningful and handmade.
