I am infatuated with this Lovely Blossoms designer series paper and Lovely Arrangement stamp set and dies from Stampin’ Up. This card is a muted version with a hint of Cloud Cover blue birthday card with the pretty stamped and die cut flowers.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Cloud Cover card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
- Crumb Cake card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Lovely Blossoms designer series paper (January 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
- Lovely Arrangements stamp set and dies (January 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
- Crumb Cake ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Chocolate Chip Stampin’ Write Marker (Retired Stampin’ Up)
- Old Olive Light Stampin’ Blends (Stampin’ Up)
- Moody Palette Glossy Dots (January 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
From Cloud Cover card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and folded in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and cut another piece to 2 ¾” x 4 1/8”. With the Crumb Cake card stock cut two pieces to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and another piece to 2 5/8” x 4 1/8”. Grab your Lovely Blossoms designer series paper and find the Crumb Cake piece with the small white flowers and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.
Take the piece of Crumb Cake you cut to 2 5/8” x 4 1/8” and the die that cuts out the small florets and cut at one end and then you will have to cut another to finish the other end. Now adhere this to the Cloud Cover background measuring 2 ¾” x 4 1/8”. From a scrap piece of white card stock stamp one of each of the large flowers in Crumb Cake ink and then coloring the centers with your Chocolate Chip Stampin’ Write Marker and huff (blow warm air to remoisten ink) before stamping. Also stamp two leaves in Crumb Cake ink and color them in with your Old Olive Light Stampin’ Blends, trying not to get too close to the stamped image as it will fade because of the ink used. Cut all out with the appropriate dies. Stamp the “Happy Birthday” greeting on to a small piece of white card stock in Crumb Cake ink and cut out a rectangle. Adhere to a piece of Cloud Cover and hand cut a boarder.
Adhere one of your pieces of 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” Crumb Cake card stock to the front of your Cloud Cover card base, then adhere to floral paper to the front of that. Now adhere your strip you cut with the florets with the Cloud Cover background about ¾” in from the left side of your card. Adhere your flowers in the lower left corner of your floret cut piece and add the leaves where you would like. Then adhere your “Happy Birthday” greeting coming out of the flowers. Add some of the Moody Palette Glossy Dot Cloud Cover embellishments around on your floret cut piece.
For the inside adhere your piece of Crumb Cake card stock and then the piece of white card stock. Stamp a birthday greeting in Crumb Cake ink, I am using an old Stampin’ Up greeting (don’t know what the name of the set was) that says “wishing you the best today and always!”.
A pretty card in light colors for those who aren’t in to really bright colors and it is a lovely birthday card as well.
