I seem to be quite taken with this paper lately, even though it’s not one of the brand-new products, but there is something about it! I made this Hello, Irresistible Floral Birthday Card mostly with die-cutting the elements on the card.

This is the Hello, Irresistible 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, available as an Online Exclusive in the Stampin’ Up! Online Store. This means you won’t find the paper in the catalog, but it can be purchased online for as long as it is available. If you like this paper, you can purchase it at a 15% discount during the month of June on the Designer Series Paper Sale! The patterns are all so soft and pretty!

In making this card, I chose a card base of Flirty Flamingo, but I also added a layer of Petal Pink. I couldn’t decide which color to use so I used both! Next, there is a layer of designer paper. There are so many pretty patterns to choose from. I liked this color-washed linear design to be the background for the flowers.

What really inspired this card was the die-cut vertical piece on the left side of the card. I already had it in my pile of scraps that I didn’t use one other time, so I carefully adhered it to the card on those dots. You might not notice, but I decided to punch out some Vellum Cardstock circles, one with the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch and two with the 2″ Circle Punch. I put the largest circle near the bottom of the card and the other two above.

You can stamp flowers and leaves if you like from the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set or you can die cut them right out of the designer paper! There are large and small outline flower dies plus a couple of different leaf dies. It is so fun when you can cut out the designs from the paper. Then I just played around with the flowers and leaves until I was happy with the placement and glued them down. The bottom flower is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting is stamped on a piece of designer paper in a Soft Sea Foam color in Soft Sea Foam ink. The greeting is in the Go-To Greetings Stamp Set. I used a narrow banner die in the Stylish Shapes Dies to make a thin banner for the sentiment without covering up too much of the flowers.

For a finishing touch, I adhered several of the Petal Pink sequins randomly on the card in the Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins. I really like these sequins, three different colors, and different sizes.

Here is another card I made using the Hello, Irresistible Paper.
