Create a Soft & Elegant Floral Card with the Alex Syberia Designs Clematis Die Set

Hello crafty friends!

Today I’m sharing a beautifully layered floral card featuring the Clematis Die Set from Alex Syberia Designs — a set that delivers effortless dimension, soft elegance, and truly eye-catching blooms. If you love florals that practically arrange themselves, this one’s going to be right up your street. I paired the delicate flowers with a bold “HELLO” sentiment for a fresh, uplifting card that’s perfect for sending to a bestie, just because.

Card Inspiration — Soft Clematis Blooms

For this project, I wanted the Clematis flowers to feel airy and delicate, so I kept to soft pastel tones and let the dimension do the heavy lifting. The layered arrangement creates a lush floral cluster that frames the sentiment beautifully, while the fresh green background keeps everything bright and uplifting.

Follow along with the step-by-step instructions below to recreate this look.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the card base
   • Start with a soft green cardstock panel for your card base.
   • Cut a second panel slightly smaller and adhere it with foam tape to create subtle, raised depth.
2. Die-cut your florals
   • Using the Clematis Die Set, cut multiple flowers, leaves, and buds in white cardstock.
   • Lightly ink-blend the petals in soft pink tones, keeping the colour concentrated towards the centre for a soft fade.
   • Colour or die-cut the flower centres in a bright yellow for contrast.
   • Ink-blend the foliage in muted greens to keep the palette cohesive.
3. Assemble the floral elements
   • Layer each flower and bud, gently shaping the petals with your fingers for added dimension.
   • Arrange the florals across the centre of the card, tucking leaves beneath the blooms to build a natural flow.
   • Adhere the pieces using a mix of liquid glue and foam tape for depth.
4. Add the sentiment
   • Die-cut the word HELLO in kraft and white cardstock, offsetting the layers slightly to create a shadowed look.
   • Add the sub-sentiment, “You Are The Best Bestie Ever,” tucked beneath the main greeting.
5. Finishing touches
   • Add a few sequins, enamel dots, or clear drops for subtle sparkle.
   • Flick a few white paint splatters across the background for added texture.
