A Birthday Card with the Lovely Arrangements Bundle
Some cards just feel calm and happy the moment you look at them, and this one fits that bill beautifully. 🤍
Today I’m sharing a Happy Birthday card created with the Stampin’ Up! Lovely Blossoms Suite Collection and the Lovely Arrangements Bundle, and I’ve made a FREE card tutorial so you can recreate it too.
The soft color palette, layered florals, and subtle pattern details make this card perfect for birthdays, but it could easily be adapted for other occasions just by swapping out the sentiment. I especially love how the blossoms frame the design and add gentle movement without overwhelming the card front.
Free Card Tutorial: Lovely Arrangements Happy Birthday Card
Measurements:
- Petal Pink: 4 ¼” x 11” card base
- Secret Sea: 4” x 5 1/8” banner
- Basic White: 3 5/8” x 4 ¾” banner
- Basic White: 4” x 4” for stamping
- Lovely Blossoms DSP: 3 ¾” x 2 ½”
Instructions:
- Score the Petal Pink card base on the long side at 5 ½” and fold. Then, run the closed card base through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the 5th largest Party Banner Die. Have the fold of your card at the top leaving the top edge of the die off the card near the fold. You don’t want to cut the fold off. You will cut the other three sides by making the sides a little narrower and the bottom into a banner.
- Die cut the Secret Sea cardstock using the 6th largest Party Banner Die. Then, attach that banner to the card front using Stampin’ SEAL.
- Cut the Basic White cardstock using the 7th largest Party Banner Die. Add the banner to the card front on top of the Secret Sea layer.
- Using the piece of DSP die cut using the linked circles die. Then, attach that to the center of the card front using liquid glue.
- With the last piece of Basic White cardstock stamp, two leaves in Old Olive ink, two flowers and one sentiment in Secret Sea ink. Then, die cut the flowers, leaves, and sentiment using the coordinating dies in the bundle.
- Color the flowers lightly using Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends.
- Add the flowers, leaves, and sentiment to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals as shown.
- Lastly, add three Moody Palette Glossy Dots to finish.
3 Valentine’s Projects Using the Love Notes Mix & Match DSP
Yesterday I went live on Facebook and shared three fun and easy Valentine’s projects using the Love Notes Mix & Match Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! — and it was such a fun crafty session! If you missed it live, no worries at all… the replay is ready and waiting for you.
Why I Love the Love Notes Mix & Match DSP
This paper pack is one of those products that does a lot of the work for you. The colors, patterns, and pre-designed elements make it incredibly easy to pull together projects quickly without sacrificing style. It’s perfect for:
- Quick cards
- Small treats and packaging
- Valentine projects (or love-themed cards year-round)
During the Facebook Live, I created three Valentine’s projects, each perfect for gifting and easy to customize:
- Candy Stick Holder – We started with a sweet and simple candy stick project that’s great for quick Valentine treats.
Pull-Out Pouch – Next up was a cute little pull-out pouch that’s just the right size to hold a gift card, tea bag, or a chocolate square.
Gusseted Pouch – We finished with a gusseted pouch, perfect for small goodies and a great way to dress up a simple gift.
Along the way, I shared tips for mixing patterns from the DSP, keeping embellishments balanced, and making projects that are cute and practical.
If you have this paper pack, I’d love to see what you create with it! Simple swaps and small changes make these ideas your own, and that’s one of my favorite things about Mix & Match products.
Thanks so much for crafting along with me — whether live or on the replay. Be sure to check back soon for more Valentine inspiration and upcoming creative sessions!

Two Handmade Valentines, Double the Love
Valentine’s Day crafting is one of my favorite creative seasons. There’s just something about hearts, hugs, and a little bit of whimsy that makes everything feel extra special. During my most recent Facebook Live, I shared two handmade Valentine cards that are full of charm and heartfelt details, and today I wanted to give them a little spotlight here on the blog.
Both cards were created using two absolutely adorable Stampin’ Up! bundles: the Endless Love Bundle and the Valentine Kisses Bundle. These sets pair beautifully together and make it so easy to create projects that feel playful, sweet, and totally gift-worthy.
If you missed the Facebook Live, be sure to catch the replay so you can see both cards come together step by step. And as always, if you’re inspired to create your own Valentines, I’d love to help you with the supplies you need.
The first Valentine features bold hearts, texture, and a fun pop of red that immediately says love. I used the Endless Love Bundle to create layers that feel clean but still full of personality.
The second Valentine might just steal your heart. The Valentine Kisses Bundle brings in the cutest imagery, and that sweet little bear holding a heart is impossible to resist.
