•Ag nanoflowers connected with Ag nanoparticles arrays are proposed and obtained onto “vase”-like surface or defects to enhance the EM coupling.•Multiple cascaded amplification mechanisms of the incident laser can be used to promote the magnification of electric field.•Such paper card was exploited...
