Dandelion Wishes Happy Birthday Card

I have been wanting to use the Dandelion Wishes stamp set from Stampin’ Up for a while and just keep going to others and I have owned this set for years and just using it, so sad.  This is a bright and cheery birthday card In Calypso Coral colors.  I used white embossing powder to make the flowers stand out on the polka dot paper from the You’re a Peach designer series paper from Stampin’ Up. 

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Calypso Coral Two-Tone card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • You’re A Peach designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Happiness Abounds stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Calypso Coral ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • VersaMark ink
  • White embossing powder
  • Heat gun
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

From you white card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” folded in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Cut a piece to  3 3/8” x 4 ½” and another for the inside to 3 ¾” x 5”.  From the Two-Tone Calypso Coral card stock cut a piece to 3 1/8” x 3 ½” and another for the inside to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Take the You’re A Peach designer series paper pack and find the Calypso Coral polka dot paper and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

Grab the 3 1/8” x 3 ½” piece of Calypso Coral Two-Tone card stock, and with your VersaMark ink stamp the large dandelion from the Dandelion Wishes stamp set.  Cover with white embossing folder and tap off all the excess powder and the use the heat gun to heat your powder covered flower until it melts.  Be careful not to overheat as this paper is lighter than regular card stock and will start to burn. 

Adhere you embossed flower piece to the white card stock cut to 3 3/8” x 4 ½” piece.  Find the “Happy Birthday” greeting stamp in the Happiness Abounds stamp set and stamp that on the remaining white portion at the bottom of the flowers in Calypso Coral ink.  Now adhere the polka dot paper to the front of your white card base and then adhere your floral piece to the front of that, centering on all sides. 

For the inside of your card adhere to the piece of Calypso Coral and then the white piece to the top of that.  From the Happiness Abounds stamp set find the “Wishing you all the happiness you can imagine” greeting and stamp toward the upper center in Calypso Coral Ink

What a cute birthday card for anyone.

Flowering Fields Bright Tulips Card

This bright and bold Tulips card made with the Flowering Fields paper is just so adorable.  I love this card design and have been waiting to figure out a paper that would work and then I remembered this Flowering Fields with the polka dot paper which I thought would be perfect and I designed if from there. 

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Poppy Parade of Sweet Sorbet card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Flowering Fields designer series paper
  • Pink Sequins (Spellbinders Advent Calendar 2024)
  • Poppy Parade or Sweet Sorbet ink
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

With the Poppy Parade or Sweet Sorbet, cut a card base of 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. 

With the Petal Pink card stock cut:

  • 4” x 5 ¼”
  • 3 ¼” x 5 ¼”
  • 2 ¼” x 4”
  • 1 3/8” x 2 ¼”

With the white card stock cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 5” and another to 1 1/8” x 2”.  And find the polka dot paper from the Flowering Fields cut a piece to 3” x 5”.  With the bright tulip paper cut a piece to 2” x 3 ¾”, I tried to make sure there was a good combination of the red and pink tulips. 

Now that all the cutting is out of the way, take the white piece that is 3 ¾” x 5”, your Happiness Abounds stamp set and your ink and stamp the “Happy Birthday” greeting centered toward the top.  Adhere that to the Petal Pink piece cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere that to the inside of your card. 

Now take the small white piece you cut with the Happiness Abounds greeting that says “Wishing you all the happiness you can imagine” and stamp that.  Adhere that white piece to the small Petal Pink piece.  Adhere the polka dots piece to the Petal Pink piece measuring 2 ¼” x 4” and adhere that to the front of your card about a ½” from the left side.  Take the tulips piece and adhere that to the 3 ¼” x 5 ¼” piece and adhere that about 1” down from the top over your polka dot paper.  The take your greeting and adhere that about a ½” from the right and centered between the tulips and the bottom of the card.  Take some of the pink sequins and add them around the card front.

That is all there is to make this bright and cheery birthday card.
