Cheerful Daisies Birthday Card
Bring a floral charm to any birthday celebration with this Cheerful Daisies Birthday Card featuring the Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! A handmade birthday card is a personal and thoughtful gesture that stands out in today’s digital age. It’s a tangible expression of your wishes and a keepsake that the birthday person can treasure.
For this card, I went with a non-traditional daisy color combination of Crumb Cake, Copper Clay and Soft Sea Foam. I then added the Brick Embossed Background to pull those 3 colors together so that it would work for any gender. If you’d prefer a more traditional combination of colors, make sure you check out my Color Combination Library where you’re sure to find a color palette you’ll love.
From a simple, elegant card with a single daisy, to a more elaborate design featuring a bouquet of these cheerful blooms, it’s easy to make a variety of birthday cards in all colors of the rainbow with this versatile Stamp Set!

Step-by-Step Instructions:

- Run the Crumb Cake cardstock through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.
- Wrap 6” of ribbon around the bottom of the Crumb Cake cardstock and adhere ends of ribbon to back of cardstock. Adhere cardstock to front of the card.
- Using the square of Very Vanilla cardstock, stamp large daisy using Copper Clay ink. Mask the stamped flower by stamping flower on a post-it note, cut out using scissors and layer on top of stamped flower. Stamp the small daisy on top of the mask; remove mask.
- Stamp center to each daisy using Copper Clay ink. Stamp leaves around the daisies using Soft Sea Foam ink. Adhere Vanilla cardstock to Soft Sea Foam cardstock & adhere to card front using Dimensionals.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the 1” strip of Very Vanilla cardstock using Copper Clay ink and adhere over ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A Tip from Barb
This card could easily be turned into a quick and easy card simply by removing the Embossing Folder using on the Crumb Cake mat. For a different look, take the Crumb Cake cardstock, crumple it well with your hands, smooth back out and layer onto the card. A different look but just as attractive! Let me know if you give a try and what you think!
