Southern Magnolia Floral Card with Die-Cut Flowers

A project from our live show MY PODCAST - Catch my latest updates broadcast 8th December 2025 · 08/12/2025

Create a beautiful floral card featuring pre-coloured die-cut magnolia flowers in soft pink and purple tones on a pink background with a wood-effect panel. The flowers have built-in shading for instant dimension, and you'll layer them with coordinating die-cut elements to create a stunning botanical design. This project uses simple die-cutting and layering techniques to achieve a professional finish without the need for colouring skills.
