Stampin’ Up! Charming Day Birthday Card

Good Morning! Here’s a floral birthday card using the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day bundle and the pretty Floral Charm designer series paper. This DSP has pretty Fall colors, so it’s great for birthdays this time of year and it’s Z-fold card, so it’s perfect for someone extra special. You can find the card stock cuts along with the currently available supplies at the bottom of my post.

Score and burnish the Mossy Meadow card base and adhere panels of Floral Charm designer series paper to each section. Cut a large circle from Basic White using the large die from the Spotlight On Nature dies and stamp the small flower from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day stamp set in the middle using stamped off Petal Pink ink. Adhere it to the large inside panel with liquid glue – this will provide the writing area.

Using the second largest circle die from the Spotlight On Nature dies, cut a Mossy Meadow circle. Cut a Basic White circle using Stylish Shapes dies and adhere it to the inside of the Mossy Meadow circle (I was playing around with a 2-3/4″ circle punch from my stash that is no longer available and used it instead). Adhere the layered circles to the card front with liquid glue, aligning it with the Basic White circle on the inside panel. Be careful to only apply glue to the section attached to the front flap.

Stamp the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day stamp set on Basic White and color it with the Petal Pink, light Old Olive, light Mossy Meadow and light Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends. Use blending techniques for the greens on the leaves and the Petal Pinks on the flowers and then add s few light Cajun Craze touches to the corners of the flowers. cut the flower out with the coordinating die and adhere it to the circle with dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment using Cajun Craze ink on Timid Tiger and trim the ends into fishtails using your paper snips. Adhere the label to the card with glue dots. Cut two Mossy Meadow leaf clusters using the small leaf die from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day dies and adhere them to the front and inside of the card. Finish with an Old Olive linen thread bow and Petal Pink shimmer dots.

The florals in the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day bundle are so easy and fun to color and I love the sentiments and coordinating dies. A fun fold always makes a birthday card extra special and the Z-fold is a fairly easy card to make. Give it a try!

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!
