Have you ever tried using just one layer of a floral die to create a design? What can I say, it really doesn’t get any more clean and simple than this!
It’s time for another Craft-A-Flower release from Altenew and this one is the beautiful Rose. Did you arrive here from KEISHA’s fabulous Blog? if you did, then you are in the right place!
I love Aga’s card designs and feel that this one was very inspired by her. With only one layer I decided to use design paper to create some added interest and the 12 X 12 Celebrate pack was the perfect choice.
Adding dimension to the flower also helped add some interest.
The sentiment is from the Holiday Tag Sentiments set which has so many non-holiday sayings to choose from too!
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

How very lovely. I really love that effect of the die cut.
What a beautiful CAS card. And what a cool look using the patterned paper for your single layer. Lovely!! And did I mention how much I LOVE that sentiment set?! Definitely on my wish list!!!
Beautiful! What a great idea to cut the images from flowered paper!!
Love your card, Therese…very clever usage of the dies!
You’ve chosen the perfect patterned papers for this gorgeous rose, Therese! So beautiful!

This is absolutely stunning. Who would have thought that one piece could make such a beautiful impression. Loving this flower.
This is simple and beautiful and of course a great way to use some of the patterned paper that we all have tucked away!
Beautiful!!! Very abstract design!!!!
Oh, that’s lovely. So soft and romantic. What a unique way to use the set. 🌹
How simple yet so elegant and stunning!! I love that you used patterned paper, it doesn’t get the credit it deserves.
QAE and CAS? Yes, please! I love this and am inspired. Thank you.
I saw this sample and I thought “Thereseâ€. Simply beautiful â¤ï¸

You nailed it! Wow very impresses with your choice of paper, what a difference.

Such a cool technique!
so pretty and so unusual …
Great choice on the designer paper – your card is beautiful!
I never thought about using printed paper and only 1 layer to make a card, great idea, beautiful card
Very different take on things. Very pretty, too. Thnx for sharing.
When I saw the panel of examples, I knew this one would be yours. Such an outstanding, beautiful CAS design.
Oooo what a unique design!
Oooh. That’s different. I kind of like it.
Wow! I love your flower! Wow! Gorgeous card! Very artistic!
Lovely design Therese, clever use of the die to add dimension with the patterned paper. Thanks for the inspiration!
How cool and different. Love it.
You always make beautiful cards! 💜
So clever, never did think of using only one die. Simple and stunning.
This looks really good as a one layer!
Hi, Therese. Letting your patterned paper be the color in your flower is BRILLIANT! The subtilty the partial pattern and the pattern itself give just enough color and definition to see it is clearly a rose. Thank you for sharing.
So pretty!! I love the minimal-ness of this technique!
So unique on your style, love it.
This is so pretty
I LOVE this idea, Therese! What a unique, lovely card design and I LOVE how you utilized the designer paper…
very interesting design!!
Using the one layer is unique and so effective. The choice of patterned paper was a great one!
Your card is an example of simplistic elegance!
Wow! This is just awesome!
So pretty and abstract!! Love the look of using one piece in this way, great idea!
Absolutely love what you did with this!
Very effective use of pattern paper. Love the result.
Unique card, the patterned paper is so pretty.
I love how you used only part of the flower on the patterned paper…it looks complete!
You are SO right…c&s and easy, too. Love the paper pack and your use of it. Thanks.
I really like the rose and leaves cut from patterned paper. A great use for paper that might otherwise not get used.
This is interesting to view with the papers you used. Very nice.
Well how smart and creative are you! And just when I thought this was the easiest card in the world, you did bring up the issue of placement. Well, I like your placement, so now it is CAS and fast since you did the hard work LOL! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration. Now I need to buy that die set!
Good sample on how to use less. Great idea for the paper use.
Beautiful, Therese … what a brilliant idea to use the DP for this lovely rose … so creative! Hugs, Anita 🙂
Beautiful card. Love the look of only one die Thanks for sharing
Love the rather abstract appearance of the rose. Very Creative!
Simply beautiful! I love how you used the patterned paper!
Wow. Just beautiful. I never would’ve thought to use just one layer. Love it!!!
What a great idea! I have several Altenew Create-A-Flower sets (I love them all) and never thought of using only one layer! I’ll definitely be trying this. I always learn something from you! Your card is gorgeous.
Lovely card! Pretty effect with the print paper!
Very beautiful card. I’ll have to give this technique a try.
Loved your idea of using patterned paper with a “part” of the die set. Your card turned out fantastic and inspiring. Thank you for your contribution!
Oh, that turned out to be one beautiful card. Altenew, who knew you could only use one layer?
Simply beautiful with this paper.
Your rose looks so interesting with the patterned paper! Such a simple and beautiful card; I love it!
Stunning, Therese! What a super clever idea to only use the one layer! Great card!! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration! Take care! 🙂
Wow! Your creation is so elegant!
The simplicity is gorgeous, Therese! You certainly keep fresh new ideas coming time after time!
Super stunning! And, easy to make, too. I’m sold–this will be my next purchase. Thanks, Therese.
