Hello, Irresistible Floral Birthday Card

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.

Sometimes all you have to do is spy one of your scraps to get a card idea! That’s how this Hello, Irresistible Hello Card came about. I spotted a diecut scrap and was going to use the other side of this piece of designer paper, but when I turned the paper over, I decided to use this floral side instead! So you never know what you might come up with!

I used the Hello, Irresistible 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper on the front of this card. You might miss this paper because it is not in the new Annual Catalog. It is one of the Online Exclusives in the Online Store. The important thing is it is one of the select papers on the Stampin’ Up! Designer Paper Sale going on right now during the entire month of June! The whole package of 48 sheets of paper is very pretty. It has digitally hand drawn botanical and floral images plus color washes.

The card base is Flirty Flamingo. I decided to make the designer paper the full length of the card and center it so it is cut at 5 1/2″ x 2 3/4″. I thought it would be pretty to put a layer of Basic White cardstock behind it to accent the white images of the flowers, but I made it narrow. It is cut at 5 1/2″ x 3″.

Before adhering anything, I wrapped a piece of the pink ribbon in the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack around the bottom of the designer paper. I put it pretty low so as not to cover up the flowers. I tied a little bow separately and adhered it to the ribbon with a Mini Glue Dot. Then I assembled the card.

The greeting is stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink on Basic White from the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set and diecut with a banner die in the Stylish Shapes Dies. Since I didn’t want the banner as long as it was, I tried an idea I saw recently. I cut off the ends of the banner and put Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the greeting. Don’t put them all the way to the ends so you have space. After adhering the greeting, I put Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the backs of the two end pieces I had cut off and adhered them flat on the card but slid underneath the popped-up greeting a little bit. That shortens the whole thing and just gives a little different look to your card!

Sometimes I don’t think about adding some sparkly jewels to my card until after I take the photo, but you certainly could add some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to this card! That would be very pretty!
