Last week I introduced a set of dimensional flowers in the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for April 2021, Dahlia Dimensional Doily. Today it’s my pleasure to get to play with them once again. I’m not gonna lie, the little spiral flowers are so easy, that they have become my “go to.” There are people at both extreme ends who use no flowers and then there are folks that cover their card with flowers. I’m three clicks past the no flowers people – I see flowers as punctuation, they add a sweet bit of embellishment. Toward that end, these really fit the bill!

Three new flowers. We are showcasing three new flowers! Easy, easier, easiest.
- Easy – Dahlia Dimensional Doily is a flower made with round disks that link together to form the base and the petals. Built on the same concept as dimensional doilies, this representation of flowers creates a focal element that has some height.
- Easier – One round piece in the set, with eight cut and folded circles combines to make a familiar round dimensional flower.
- Easiest – Sweet spiral flowers with a score line that lets you fold over and shape the spiral. Oh, and don’t forget a background that when cut twice gives you a full A2 Background.
All together the background and flowers create a sweet, layered dimensional finished card that can be made for an A2 or an A7 card base!
There are 11 dies included in the Dahlia Dimensional Doily.
My Project Today using Dahlia Dimensional Doily
For my project today, I wanted run away with the rolled flowers. I mounted them to the filigree panel that when combined makes an A2-sized panel. It was the perfect landing spot! I pulled my panels off-center for some visual appeal and then framed the words “With Sympathy” by making your eyes follow the flowers. Cards don’t get any easier than this – it might have taken me 10 minutes to ink up and roll the flowers. You’ll want to see the video below for a visual walk-through of how to wet and how to roll the flowers.
Designer Tip: When working with the spiral dies, spritz your paper with water! It will keep the paper from being slick and make them stay put and will help when you gently shape and coax them open.

Becca, these little flowers are so very sweet! You always think of the most clever embellishments to enhance our cards. Thank you for the excellent tutorial as well.
Thank you so much for the kind words Chelsea!!
Absolut gorgeous Becca. As usual your work is just amazing and sooo beautiful and this card here is no difference, but just as gorgeous as ever. Sooo sad it´s sooo hard and expensive to get these dies overhere, cause there´s sooo many I would really love to have, but with all the extra taxes and all, they´ll unfortunately be sooo expensive, that they´re hard to pay for, but boy are they gorgeous. I absolutely love your adorable worrk with these, and I believe, I would use them all for different results.
I know Maryann, the tax situation is hard!! But the inspiration is free and I hope it crops up to fill a need just when you are looking for it!!
Your video is great!!!! TFS how you made this LOVELY card!
Paper Hugs,
Jan
Jan, thanks for stopping by and moreover, thanks for the kind words. My pleasure to do the video!! I want people to know that these things are not hard!!
I love this beautiful card and I’m excited to receive my die set. I’m really excited about the sweet rolled roses. They are the perfect size for a card!
I’m giddy about the little roses too, Sandra! You can also cut them shorter to make for a smaller rose and can wind them tighter. I know these have been around the block before, but I’m so looking forward to keeping them in my stash. I like the smaller one best!

This is so adorable! I like both types of flowers for their uniqueness, but the little rolled roses never grow old for me…they are so darling!
Becca, your work is beautiful. I really like the rolled flowers.
This is so lovely. Even the paper behind the flowers. So very feminine. I love it.
Becca, Once again you have designed an amazing club package for us. I can think of so many ways this set can be used to create beautiful cards. I am still waiting for mine to arrive but have so many plans going through my head to use this set. All of your designs just seem to fit my style and each month it gets better and better. I always think that I have found my favorite then the next month comes around and I fall in love all over again. Thank you for the beautiful designs
