White on white cards are one of my favorite styles for creating elegant handmade cards. By layering shades of white cardstock and adding just a small pop of color, you can create a design that feels both clean and eye-catching. Do you happen to recognize this layout?
Today’s project is actually a reimagined version of a card (pictured on right) I originally shared in April of 2024 (see the original post HERE). The dies I used for that card have since retired, but I’ve recreated the same beautiful effect using an inlaid die cut technique with the Pretty Florals Dies.
The result is a white on white card with a pop of Petunia Pop color showing through the design — and the technique can easily be recreated using dies you already own.
Why This Technique is Useful
One question I hear often from cardmakers is:
“What do I do when the dies used in a project are no longer available?”
Instead of recreating the card exactly the same way, sometimes the solution is to recreate the appearance using a different technique.
In this case, the inlaid die cut technique allows us to create the illusion of a detailed cut-out design while still using dies that are currently available.
This approach is a great way to:
- stretch the supplies you already own
- recreate looks you love
- build your creative problem-solving skills
Card Design Details
For this version of the project, I kept the same elegant layered look but made a few changes.
The card features:
• layered white cardstock panels
• a soft vellum layer for added texture
• a bold Petunia Pop color showing through the floral design
• an inlaid floral die cut for dimension and detail
The result is a clean and elegant card design that works for many occasions.
White on white cards are a beautiful way to create elegant handmade cards without needing a lot of supplies.
By adding just a small pop of color behind the design, the card instantly becomes more eye-catching while still keeping the soft layered look.
I hope this project inspires you to look at your dies in new ways and experiment with techniques that help you stretch your supplies.
