Layered Floral Birthday Card By Jyoti Adhikari

There’s something so satisfying about layering cardstock, patterned paper, and die cuts to create a card full of depth and dimension. For today’s project, I wanted to focus on building layers while keeping the floral arrangement as the main focal point. I used the Fabulous Floral Craft Die and Handpicked Bouquet Craft Die from Poppystamps to create a vibrant cluster of flowers and leaves, set against a softly layered background.

Die Cutting the Flowers and Leaves

I started by die-cutting a bunch of flowers from the Blush 6x6 Paper Pack, choosing pinks and reds to create a warm and cheerful color palette. For the leaves, I used two shades of green from the Leafy 6x6 Paper Pack to add contrast. I love having all my die-cut pieces ready before assembling—it makes the process so much smoother when it’s time to arrange everything.

Creating the Layered Background

To add depth to my card, I created multiple layers for the background. I chose a floral-patterned paper from the Birthday Fun 6x6 Paper Pack and matted it with white cardstock, making it a quarter inch larger on all sides. Then, I added a second layer of red cardstock, just ⅛ inch larger than the white, creating a thinner border that subtly ties in with the floral arrangement.

Adding Dimensional Frames

To give my flowers a place to sit, I used the Double Scalloped Stitched Frames Craft Die to cut three small rectangles. These frames help break up the patterned background while adding structure to the design. I arranged them horizontally across the card and adhered them with foam tape for extra dimension.

Arranging the Floral Cluster

With my base complete, I moved on to the fun part—arranging the flowers! I played around with the placement, layering different shades of pink and red flowers for a natural, organic look. Some flowers were glued directly onto the frames, while others were popped up with foam tape to create depth. I tucked the green leaves behind the blooms to add movement and balance to the arrangement.

Embossed Sentiment and Finishing Touches

For the sentiment, I kept it simple yet elegant. I stamped “Happy Birthday” onto a piece of light green cardstock with embossing ink, then heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Once set, I cut it into a fishtail banner and placed it at the bottom right corner of the card with foam tape.

I love how this card came together! The mix of layering, dimension, and color makes the floral arrangement stand out while still feeling cohesive with the background. It’s the perfect combination of soft, feminine, and bold.

I hope this inspires you to play with layers in your own cardmaking. Sometimes, all it takes is a little dimension and a beautiful floral die set to create something truly special!

Hugs,

Jyoti

Birthday Wishes by Lisa Elton

Have you seen our newest stencil? It's call Fanciful Flower and is it ever cute! There are several layers included in the set that let you use just of few or all of them together. I chose to use them all for today's card. I picked a pretty spring palette to work with.

After completing the stenciling, I die cut the center using the Double Scalloped Stitched Frames die leaving the outer scalloped edge in place. Don't forget about that little leftover rectangle. I saved it for something cute!

 

After die cutting the Brilliant Birthday Cake using white cardstock, I ink blended my colors on using the same inks from my stenciled panel. There's also a bit of Wink of Stella added here for pizazz!

 

A white scrap of cardstock was added to the back of my stenciled panel to give me a resting place for the birthday cake and a sentiment.

 

This was all added to a coordinating card base. A few Pastel Fairy Jewels were popped on to finish things off.

 

Remember that little rectangle I had left over? I made a gift tag with it! I die cut another scalloped rectangle using the same coordinating cardstock. The stenciled portion was tucked in with a white panel added to the reverse for our 'to and from' message. A couple of bejewled balloons were stamped, die cut and popped up with foam tape to add to the festiveness!

 

The card and tag are complete, now I just need a gift to go with them!

Hydrangea Hugs and Kisses by Rachel Duong

Happy Valentine's Day! It's Rachel here with a Valentine for you. Instead of the traditional Valentine colors, I forged ahead with soft beautiful colors and one of my favorite flowers, the hydrangea. I used the blossoms from the Poppystamps "Handpicked Bouquet" die set. 

I combined pale blue, lilac, chartreuse, teal, periwinkle and lavender to cut out the flowers. I randomly glued centers on each blossom. Next I die cut the leaves in 3 shades of green. All the colored cardstock I used is available for purchasing on the website under paper and 8.5 x 11 sheets. Then I cut out the heart border from the "Scallop Pinpoint Hearts" die set. (the largest one) 

I trimmed a pale blue cardfront to 4 x 5.25". I die cut the "Scallop Pinpoint Heart" out of the upper middle area. I cut out a periwinkle heart and glued it into the coordinating space inside the blue cardfront. To raise the border, a few extra scalloped hearts were adhered under the green heart.

Then I arranged the blossoms and leaves inside the heart to form a hydrangea blossom! I glued them down and stamped the sentiment in lilac on a wavy greeting banner. The sentiment is grounded with two leaves underneath. 

I tied a pale blue organza ribbon on the lower left place on the heart border. There is something so pretty about a sheer texture. Finally, I embellished the card with Autumn Fairy Jewels --pale pink!

That's it for now, I hope you find my hydrandea card fresh and inviting.  Thank you for hanging with me and my unconventional valentine. Have a lovely day!

Just a Note by Michelle Woerner

Hi crafty friends! Michelle Woerner here with a floral mini slimline card. To get started, I looked at some color combinations for inspiration and was so excited to see an almost exact match for my color combo I chose and the Lagoon 6x6 cardstock pad!

Just look at the gorgeous colors in the Lagoon paper pad! I used the Nordic Flower Bunch die set and cut flowers from each of the papers I pulled. As I was playing around with flowers and colors, I decided to go outside the box and make my branches and leaves in a blush color!

I usually go traditional and use the green for the leaves and blush for flowers, but this is unexpected and I love it!

I hope I've inspired you to take a chance with your colors! It's only paper, give it a try. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

A Birthday Bouquet by Rachel Duong

Hi everyone! It's Rachel here with a brightly colored spring floral card. I used the Poppystamps dies, "Handpicked Bouquet" and the "Celebration Banner". I absolutely love these dies and can't wait to create tons of floral arrangements. 

To create this card, I began by die cutting many colors of blossoms using the Poppystamps 8.5" x 11" paper packs in lovely gorgeous colors.  The paper is thick and cuts clean, I highly reccomend them. They are listed below and also on the website. 

. I narrowed down the colors  to work with.  For the wrap, I chose the darkest green. From here, I cut the flags in yellows, greens. I cut the base banner in white and adhered the flags on. I glued the blossoms together. Next comes the fun part of arranging the bouquet...it took some time because I wanted it just right! 

I cut the patterned paper to leave a white border showing a small white border from the cardbase. The teal paired with the green wrap looked amazing to me. I glued the bouquet and banner onto the paper. Then I chose an Open Studio thick black gold foiled "Greeting Tab".  I grounded the sentiment over two leaves and overlapped it on the wrap. Added extra cardstock under the last half of the sentiment balanced out it's height.

Then I chose an Open Studio thick black gold foiled "Greeting Tab".  I grounded the sentiment over two leaves and overlapped it on the wrap. Added extra cardstock under the last half of the sentiment balanced out it's height.

Lastly, I glued one tulip blossom falling down from the bouquet to fill in the empty space and to give it movement.  I added Open Studio  "Fairy Jewels" in a light teal surrounding the bouquet.

I hope you are inspired to make a card today! The Poppystamps "Handpicked Bouquet" is a must-have. The possibilities are endless. Until next time, wishing you lots of crafty vibes!
