Die Cut And Layered Rose Birthday Card

Hello crafty friends!  Welcome to my first post of 2026!  Last week I had so much fun revisiting a favorite Lovely Layers set that I featured here on the blog.  I decided to find another favorite, and today's card features Honey Bee Stamps beautiful Lovely Layers: Roses using an inset technique.  Read on for the details.

I began by taking an A2 sized piece of white cardstock and placing the main stem die of the Lovely Layers: Roses onto the cardstock, and then die cutting it.  Next I placed the base layer of the Rose to fit at the top of the die cut opening.  Again, I ran it through my die cutting machine.

I repeated those steps with the base of the rosebud.  Then I placed the die cut panel into the Wood Planks 3D embossing folder and put it through my die cutting machine.  Here's what it looked up to this point.

Next I glued this panel to an A2 card base and set it aside to work on the Lovely Layers: Roses.

I die cut all of the layers from white cardstock.  I haven't used my Distress Oxide inks in a really long time!  I love the soft, creamy look of the inks after blending them onto the layers.  I used Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Mowed Lawn, and Rustic Wilderness ink to color each layer.

Next I glued each of the base layers of the rose, stem, and bud into the openings of the card base.  Then I continued glueing each of the layers onto the flower according to the Layering Guide (found in the product description on the website).

The sentiments are from the Celebrating You stamp set.  After I stamped them with black pigment ink, I cut them out with the coordinating dies.  I used foam strips to adhere them to the card.

I used my fingers to curl up the leaves and some of the rose's petals.  You can kind of see the fun dimension in this next photo.

For touch of sweet bling, I used Bee Creative glue to adhere Strawberry Ice Acrylic Hearts to the card.

There you have it!  A sweet and beautiful birthday card for that special person in your life!
