2 days ago5 min read

One of the things I love most about floral stamp sets is their versatility. Whether you’re creating something soft and elegant or bold and colorful, florals adapt beautifully to any style. The Lovely Lilies Stamp Set and Dies from The Rabbit Hole Designs is a perfect example. With its delicate linework and detailed floral elements, this set lends itself to so many creative possibilities.

Today, I’m sharing four unique card designs featuring this gorgeous set, along with a mix of sentiment stamps, stencils, and fun finishing touches. Each card takes a different approach—some soft and subtle, others bright and eye-catching—so there’s plenty of inspiration for every style of card maker.

If you’ve ever struggled with making floral cards feel unique, this post is for you. Let’s dive into the designs!

Four Lovely Lilies Cards:

Soft Sympathy Card with Layered Ink Blending

Sympathy cards can be some of the hardest to create. They need to be heartfelt, calming, and elegant—without feeling too busy or overwhelming. For this card, I wanted to keep things soft and soothing while still adding a bit of depth.

I started by stamping the lilies on the stems in Memento Toffee Crunch Ink onto Bristol Smooth Cardstock and colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. The warm brown outline keeps the look soft and blends beautifully with watercolor markers, making the flowers appear more natural.

For the background, I reached for one of my favorite tools: masking stencils. Using the Background Basics Stencils, I lightly blended Tumbled Glass and Broken China Distress Inks, keeping the center brighter for a natural glow effect. I also stamped the same lily image in the background using Broken China Ink, creating a soft, layered look without adding bulk.

After cutting down the panel, I mounted it onto a navy A2 card base—a deep color that enhances the soft blues without overpowering them. The sentiment, stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink, is a simple but heartfelt "With Sympathy." A few Matte White Enamel Dots and a delicate double bow finished off the card, adding just the right amount of detail.

Pro Tip: When blending ink over a masked area, start your blending off the edge of the cardstock and work in circular motions to avoid harsh lines.

Vintage-Inspired Watercolor Lily Card

There’s something timeless about a vintage-style floral card. The warm, aged tones and delicate watercoloring give this design an elegant feel that works beautifully for any occasion.

For this card, I stamped the lilies twice in Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink onto Bristol Smooth Cardstock. Since this ink is waterproof, it pairs perfectly with watercolor pencils and a small paintbrush. Once the images were dry, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Greeting card with yellow flowers and text: "Distance means so little, when someone means so much." Green background, decorative elements.

The background came together with soft neutral ink blending using Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy Distress Inks over a large circle mask from the Background Basics Stencils. While the stencil was still in place, I stamped a sentiment from the Sassy Sentiments 3 Stamp Set, along with the single lily in Memento Toffee Crunch Ink for a faded, almost aged effect.

To assemble, I added the lilies to the card front and mounted it onto a yellow A2 card base—a subtle but warm color choice that enhances the vintage feel. Honey Baubles and a twine double bow finished the card beautifully.

Pro Tip: When watercoloring stamped images, start with the lightest shade and build up depth slowly. Let layers dry in between to prevent muddiness.

Bold & Vibrant Paisley Lily Card

Now for something completely different—bold color and pattern! While soft florals have their place, sometimes it’s fun to go all-in with a striking, graphic design.

For this card, I stamped the lily swag in Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and colored it with watercolor pencils. After die-cutting the image, I knew I wanted a background that was just as dynamic.

I started with the Background Basics Stencil and layered the Paisley Bandana Stencil over it, blending Mowed Lawn Distress Ink for a rich, textured look. The two stencils together created a dimensional effect that makes the background feel almost fabric-like.

To ground the design, I mounted the panel onto a bright orange A2 card base. The lily swag, popped up with foam adhesive, became the perfect focal point. A simple sentiment from the Sentimentally Speaking Stamp Set and a few Shiny Sage Baubles added the finishing touches.

Pro Tip: Layering stencils is an easy way to create depth without extra layers of paper or bulk on your card. Try mixing patterns for unexpected results!

Elegant Window Frame Lily Card

For the final card, I wanted to create a framed, window-like design to highlight the lilies in a unique way.

I started by stamping the lilies on the stem in Memento Toffee Crunch Ink and coloring them with Zig Real Brush Markers. The softer ink color makes the flowers look almost like no-line coloring, but with just enough outline for definition.

Get well card with pink lilies, green background, and text: "What doesn't kill you still requires a copay. Get well soon."

The Background Basics Stencil (with the four small rectangles) made the perfect window frame effect. I blended Old Paper and Peeled Paint Distress Ink, then lightly added Toffee Crunch Ink for warmth. Inside the windows, I stamped the lily swag in green ink, giving the illusion of flowers behind a frosted glass pane.

After removing the stencil, I trimmed the panel and mounted it onto a pink A2 card base. The lilies were added on top, and a sentiment from Sassy Sentiments 3 completed the design. A few Magenta Baubles brought in just the right amount of sparkle.

Pro Tip: To create realistic "frosted glass" effects, blend ink lightly inside a masked window shape and then stamp a subtle image over it.
