A Pretty Floral Birthday Card with the Stitched Blooms Bundle
There’s just something about a pretty floral card that makes me smile! Today I’m sharing a cheerful birthday card featuring the NEW Stitched Blooms Bundle from Stampin’ Up! I love the sweet flowers, stitched details, and the beautiful dimension you can create with this set. For this card, I paired Flirty Flamingo and Melon Mambo for the flowers with Old Olive and Mossy Meadow for the leaves. The combination gives the flowers a lovely pop of color while keeping everything fresh and pretty.
I used the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper for the background, adding a layer of Flirty Flamingo cardstock underneath to bring out the pink tones. The oval focal point was created with the Impressions Mat, which adds a beautiful embossed detail around the frame. It really makes the flowers stand out!
The flowers and leaves were stamped, die cut, and layered onto the oval, giving the arrangement some lovely dimension. I finished the card with a simple Happy Birthday sentiment, cropped using the Noel Tidings Label Die, and added a couple of Flirty Flamingo Array of Dots embellishments for just the right finishing touch.
I also carried the floral design to the inside of the card with a couple of coordinating flowers. It’s a fun little detail that makes the card feel extra special!
This card would be perfect for so many birthday celebrations! You could easily change up the flower colors to coordinate with the occasion or the recipient’s favorite colors.
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope this pretty floral birthday card inspires you to get out your stamps, ink, and paper and create something beautiful of your own.

Sending You All the Christmas Cheer I Can Muster!
Who can resist a little Christmas gnome? This fun holiday card features a cute gnome delivering a Christmas present, a whimsical mushroom house, and a sentiment that made me smile as soon as I saw it!
The Merry Mischief Bundle is perfect for creating playful Christmas cards with plenty of personality. I love how the gnome, oversized mushroom, and little details come together to create this festive scene. And that sentiment? It’s perfect for those days when you’re feeling festive, but you might need a little extra coffee to get there!
For the card base, I used the Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies to create a decorative edge that adds a special touch. The stitched details frame the scene beautifully, while the layered pieces give the card plenty of dimension.
I colored the stamped images with Stampin’ Blends, adding shading and depth to the gnome, mushroom, and Christmas present. Stampin’ Blends make it easy to bring these charming images to life, and you can have fun experimenting with different color combinations to make each card your own.
The deep red mushroom cap, teal accents, and snowy white details give this card a classic Christmas feel with a whimsical twist. A few embellishments finish the design without taking away from the adorable little scene.
