Bloom Boutique Happy Birthday Card

No Comments

Used some angles for this card to give it a unique design.  This beautiful floral paper from the Bloom Boutique designer series paper pack along with the stamps and dies of the Boutique Blossoms and Scalloped Blooms sets from Stampin’ Up made this lovely card. 

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

  • Crisp Cantaloupe card stock (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Bloom Boutique designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Boutique Blossoms stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Scalloped Blooms stamp set (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • 2026-2028 In Color Dots (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Crisp Cantaloupe ink (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Peaceful Pine Light Blender Pen (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

For your card base cut a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe card stock to 4 ¼” x 11” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  With your white card stock cut a piece for the front to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and one for the inside to 4” x 5 ¼”.  From the Bloom Boutique designer series paper find the light colored florals with the crisp cantaloupe theme and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

Take your floral piece and a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe and angle the Crisp Cantaloupe piece across the right side of your floral piece in about 1” on the top right corner and about 1 ½” on the bottom left corner, adhere down and then flip over and cut your edges of the Crisp Cantaloupe up to your floral piece edges.  Now angle the Petal Pink piece across the bottom about ¾” up on the left side and about 2” up on the right side, adhere down and flip over and trip again to your floral piece edges. 

Now with your Crisp Cantaloupe ink and the filled in daisy stamp from the Boutique Blossoms stamp set and stamp five flowers and cut them out with the die.  Also, with a piece of white card stock use the large leave sprig die to cut out one and then take the Peaceful Pine Light Blender Pen and color in the leaves, gives a lighter sprig than cut direct from Peaceful Pine which was what I tried first.  Adhere your leaves sprig on the center of the Crisp Cantaloupe part of your card front and then four of the flowers on pop dots over them.  Take the fifth flower and adhere to the left side of the Petal Pink piece.  Now use your Crisp Cantaloupe ink and stamp the “happy birthday” from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set on the right side of the Petal Pink piece.  Now adhere this to the white piece measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and then adhere to the front of your card base. 

For the inside of your card, adhere the white piece to the back panel.  Use your Crisp Cantaloupe ink to stamp the same daisy flower in the lower left corner and the “wishing you a day of relaxation, happiness and lover greeting in the upper center. 

What a bright and cheery birthday card for any friend of family member.

Floral Delight Happy Birthday Card

No Comments

I saw a card like this and hadn’t saw this style in a while so thought I would make one.  I used the Floral Delight designer series paper and Delightful Wishes stamps and dies from Stampin’ Up to make this one. 

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

  • Old Olive card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Pecan Pie card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Daffodil Delight (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Floral Delight designer series paper (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Delightful Wishes stamp set and dies (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Lemon Lolly ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

To start your card base, cut a piece of Old Olive to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  From white card stock cut a piece to 5 ¼” x 6” and fold in half to 3” x 5 ¼” and another piece to 1” x 5 ¼”.  Take your Floral Delight designer series paper find the yellow gingham paper and cut a piece to 2 7/8” x 5 1/8” and the yellow floral with the branches to 7/8” x 5 1/8”.

Take the white folded piece and adhere to the left side of the Old Olive card base, opening from the right.  Adhere the yellow gingham piece to the front of it.  Adhere your 1” white piece to the right side of your Old Olive card base and adhere the floral strip to it. 

From a scrap piece of old olive use the larger wishing die to cut out.  From Daffodil Delight cut out the smaller wishing, adhere them together.  Tip, use adhesive sheets to back your Daffodil Delight card stock piece before you cut it out, but not your Old Olive piece as some of that won’t have adhesive because it hangs over the edge.  From a scrap piece of white card stock stamp the multi-flower stamp base in Lemon Lolly and then the top layer in Daffodil Delight and cut out with the die.  Use Pecan Pie card stock and the stick die to cut out.  Stamp two of the double leaves, cut out with the dies and then cut them into individuals so you have four leaves.  Adhere your leaves and flower pieces randomly to your stem and then adhere your stem to the front left side of your card front toward the top.  Then on a scrap piece of white stamp the “you a happy birthday” in Old Olive ink and use the long slim die to cut it out.  Adhere that at the bottom of your card centered on the full card, so hanging over the edge of the card opening slightly and then adhere your “wishing” above that, again with part of your “g” hanging over. 

For the inside is used an old block stamp greeting saying ”I can’t think of a nicer person to celebrate!” in Old Olive ink, I don’t know what stamp set it was from. 

What a bright and cheery birthday card for someone you care about.
