Pastel Green and Blue Daisy Birthday Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

Soft pastels are always a beautiful choice for a birthday card, and today’s design combines delicate blue daisies with gentle greens and touches of gold for a look that’s both fresh and elegant.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creation.

Design Inspiration

This card was inspired by the calming feel of pastel tones—think soft sky blues, muted mint greens, and a whisper of buttery gold. The blue daisies take centre stage, but in a much softer, more delicate way than bold florals.

The overall look is light, airy, and perfect for celebrating in a subtle, elegant style.

Card Details

  • Florals: Pastel blue daisies with softly inked centres
  • Foliage: Light mint green leaves
  • Accents: Touches of honey gold accents for the sentiment, butterfly and layering for a gentle shimmer
  • Background: A lightly ink-blended pastel wash with soft stenciling to coordinate with the soft blue daisies panel over a soft mint green base
  • Sentiment: A delicate gold birthday greeting

Design Tips

  • Ink blend the daisy petals for that soft pastel finish
  • Choose limited muted tones rather than bright colours to keep the look cohesive
  • Add soft texture with stenciling a background for the flowers to frame rather than bold layers
  • Keep embellishments minimal—let the softness shine

Finishing Touches

A sweet butterfly in coordinating colours and a few tiny gems add just the right amount of detail while keeping the card elegant and refined.

Step-by-Step: Pastel Blue Daisy Birthday Card

Step 1: Prepare Your Card Base

Create a white card base and add a soft mint green die cut panel with a soft, subtle pattern on the edge.

Step 2: Create the Background

Lightly ink blend your panel using soft pastel shades—think pale blue. Use masking strips for a crisp edge. Keep it very subtle so it doesn’t overpower the florals. Layer the panel with gold card before adding to the card base.

Step 3: Die Cut the Florals

Cut your daisy layers from white cardstock.

  • Ink blend the petals with a soft pastel blue
  • Add a slightly deeper blue toward the centres for dimension
  • Shape the petals gently using a stylus or your fingers

Step 4: Create the Centres

Die cut the flower centres and colour them with a soft yellow or warm neutral tone. You can add a tiny touch of green to coordinate with the foliage and background.

Step 5: Die Cut the Foliage

Cut leaves from the same soft mint green cardstock that was used in the background and ink blend using soft greens like sage or mint. Keep the tones light and airy to match the pastel theme.

Step 6: Arrange Your Design

Before gluing, lay out your daisies and foliage on the panel.

  • Start with the leaves as a base
  • Add your largest flowers first
  • Fill in with smaller florals or extra leaves

This helps create a balanced and natural-looking arrangement.

Step 7: Add Dimension

Adhere elements using a mix of glue and foam tape.

  • Raise some petals and flowers for depth
  • Keep others flat for contrast

Step 8: Add the Sentiment

Add a die cut birthday sentiment in soft gold that coordinates with the gold layering in the background.

Step 9: Finishing Touches

Complete your card with:

  • A few blue gems
  • Gentle shaping of petals and leaves if needed
  • A sweet butterfly using the same colours as the card

Step 10: Assemble the Card

Attach your finished panel to the card base, making sure everything is secure and balanced.

Final Thoughts

Pastel palettes are perfect when you want something gentle, feminine, and timeless. This combination of soft blue, green, and gold creates a birthday card that feels calm, fresh, and beautifully understated.

Share the Joy

And don’t forget to pin this project for later inspiration — you’ll definitely want to revisit it when you are in the mood for making your own soft and elegant birthday card.

I can’t get over how fast this year has gone and it won’t be long until it is Christmas – eek!! However, there is Halloween to get through first and today I have a Halloween card to share with you featuring dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Halloween Add-ons collection by Becca Feeken paired with the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month July 2021 Pop up 3D Vignette Home Sweet Home.

I love the pop of yellow in the windows and door and the sparkly silver accents really pop with the spooky background. And isn’t the cat just the cutest!!

Pink Fresh Studio September 2024 Challenge Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I have a card for you today for the Pink Fresh Studio September Challenge 2024. This month challenge is creating using leaves and wreaths and the colour combination is Raspberry Bliss, Paradise, Mulberry Blush, Mimosa, & Citron.

This challenge was a little difficult for me as I do not have a wide range of Pink Fresh Studio products. So I looked at what I did have where the leaves are separate from the flowers and found a couple of stamps I could use. One of the stamp/stencil/die sets I did have where the leaves were separate was the Magnolias which is an older set but still beautiful and I was able to make a wreath with the images.

To create my card I made a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ top folding card out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of white cardstock 4″ x 5 1/4″ and ink blended the bottom left of the card using Citron and Paradise inks leaving the top right corner with no colour. I then added Raspberry Bliss, Mulberry Blush and Mimosa inks to the Pink Fresh Studio Pink Fresh Studio Plaid Press Plate and embossed a piece of scrap paper with it to take most of the ink off the plate. I then spritzed some water on the plate and dabbed it with a cloth before embossing with the ink blended card twice – once with a vertical stripe and once with a horizontal stripe. I got a lovely soft plaid effect with lots of texture and this was adhered to the card front.

I adhered a circle frame with foam tape to the front of the card using the Pink Fresh Studio Essentials Stitched Scallop Circle Dies as a base to add the flowers and leaves on to create the wreath.

I stamped several images from the Pink Fresh Studio Magnolias Stamp set on white card using Detail Black ink. I coloured the images using the challenge inks – Citron and Paradise for the leaves and Mimosa, Mulberry Blush and Raspberry Bliss to the flowers and Citron, Mulberry Blush and Mimosa to the stems before die cutting with the coordinating die. I added the flowers and leaves over the circle frame starting with the full magnolia bloom on the bottom left and worked my way around the frame. I also added some leaves under the flowers and leaves to create more dimension.

I added some Sparkling Dust to the flowers and leaves using the fine tip on my My Sweet Petunia Precision Glue Press for some subtle shine and sparkle.

The sentiment is from the Pink Fresh Studio Wonderful Sentiments set and was hot foiled with Aura foil. As I was foiling this the die moved slightly which gave me a more solid sentiment and worked well with the card. I die cut three more plain dies and stacked them together with the foiled sentiment on top and this was added to the centre of the frame adding some foam tape to ensure the sentiment was level.

The small butterflies were hot foiled with Aura foil using the Pink Fresh Studio Small Butterflies Hot Foil Plate. The butterflies were coloured using the stencils with Mimosa, Raspberry Bliss, Mulberry Blush and Licorice inks and then die cut with the coordinating die. I added these on the card using some foam squares on the wings for more dimension.

To finish my card I added some Pink Fresh Studio Gems: Clear with gold dust to the centre of the large floral, the butterflies and around the sentiment and the outside of the frame.

I had so much fun using the Pink Fresh Studio Diagonal Plaid Press Plate making different backgrounds that coordinate with the flowers that I have made. My card today uses the Summer Shower and Eucalyptus inks that I used to colour the leaves in the Pink Fresh Studio Delighted For You Stamp for the diagonal plaid and it makes the whole card look cohesive and balanced. I also ink blended the lighter yellow and blue tones of these colours for the background inside the frame which helps to make the flowers pop more from the background. I also added an extra layer behind the flowers to give the flowers more stability and dimension and did the same for the sentiment. To finish my card I added some Pink Fresh Studio Glacier gems for some sparkle around the sentiment.

Hello Rainbow Unicorn Baby Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I have another baby card to share with you that I made for my daughter’s friend who loves unicorns and rainbows. I have used a mix of Amazing Paper Grace and Pink Fresh Studio dies to make this card and the unicorn, rainbow and bow images I purchased off Etsy to create this gender neutral card which the recipient loved.

To keep with the rainbow theme I ink blended the background with rainbow colour inks using a cloud stencil. I then partially embossed it with the Spellbinders 3D Tufted Embossing Folder. I also made the flowers with the same ink colours to create further harmony with the colours.

The Amazing Paper Grace Grand Cabinet Dies were the perfect frame for the sweet unicorn and the rainbow and reminds me of beautiful draping of a baby cradle.

Sparkle was added with lots of stickles on the flowers and images, iridescent gems on the frame and the holographic card for the large letter dies from Lawn Fawn.

Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Baby Boy

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

I have a sweet baby boy card to share with you today featuring the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month October 2019 One Kind Word Alphabet Etched Dies as the base for the oversized ‘Sweet’ word from the Amazing Paper Grace My Sweet Friend Etched Dies and the gorgeous stork from the Amazing Paper Grace Amazing Paper Grace Layered Bundle of Joy Dies. The florals and small leaves are in the One Kind Word Alphabet Etched Dies and all I needed to add was some more foliage from the Amazing Paper Grace Amazing Paper Grace My Sweet Friend Etched Dies.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.

My Project

For my card I have created a side folding 5″ x 7″ card out of white cardstock. I added the lovely blue floral paper from Mintay to the front of the card. I die cut the frame from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month October 2019 One Kind Word Alphabet Etched Dies out of white cardstock and added it to the front with foam tape. I used the same die to cut out the bottom half of the die out of blue wood effect paper and then added the paper to the inside of the frame as shown.

I die cut the inner decorative banner out of the blue wood effect paper and added it to the panel that goes across the front of the card. I then die cut a piece of white cardstock using the inner plain die and sponged the edges with blue ink before adding over the decorative blue frame. I die cut the letters to spell ‘Baby Boy” out of dark blue cardstock and added it to the panel as shown.

For the sentiment I die cut the large ‘Sweet’ sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace My Sweet Friend Etched Dies out of white cardstock and ink blended an ombre effect using Faded Jeans Distress Ink. I then die cut another sentiment out of dark blue cardstock, added it behind the ombre sentiment and adhered it to the top half of the card.

I die cut the stork from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Bundle of Joy out of white cardstock and coloured it with grey and orange inks. I die cut the bundle out of white cardstock and ink blended it with Faded Jeans Distress Ink and added it to the stork. To finish the stork I used a black pen to add the eye. This stork was then added to the card on the right using foam squares.

I die cut some foliage from the Amazing Paper Grace My Sweet Friend Etched Dies out of light green cardstock, trimmed the foliage and then added it to the bottom right and top left of the sentiment panel as well as on the bundle on the stork. I die cut the flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month October 2019 One Kind Word Alphabet Etched Dies out of soft flower shaping paper and coloured them with lavender and yellow inks. These were spritzed and shaped and once dry were added over the foliage around the central panel and on the bundle. I coloured the leaves with green ink and added them around the flowers.

To finish the card I added small pearls to the centres of the flowers and to the decorative panel as shown.

Thanks for Everything with Pink Fresh Studio

I have just purchased some new inks from Pink Fresh Studio and they are just gorgeous. My favourite new colours to use are the Rose Garden set with Cherry Blossom, Peony, Begonia and Mulberry Bush colours in this set. I was very excited with this set and have used the colours in lots of new projects including this card for the Pink Fresh Studio January Challenge. This Challenge is a ‘Year in Review’ where we could pick any month from the last year to create a project. Of course I had to go for the April 2023 Challenge which was ‘Flowers’. I do not have the full range of Pink Fresh Studio inks for the ink colour challenge so I just went for the flowers instead. I just love the Garden Roses stamp, stencil and coordinating die set and the Rose Garden ink set was perfect with this set, which I paired with the new Green Gables ink set for the leaves. I also added some subtle shimmer and sparkle by adding Opalescent Stardust Butter to the entire rose flowers and they came out very soft, dreamy and romantic.

My Project

For my card I have made a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card out of white cardstock. I die cut two dies out of white cardstock using the Stained Glass die and turned one upside down before putting them on the front of the card.

I have gone for a no-line colouring finish by just using the stencils to colour the images with the pink and green inks. I then added some Opalescent Stardust Butter to all the roses and then die cut them with the coordinating die. The pressure of the die cutting machine helped to smooth out the stenciling nicely. I die cut another plain die and adhered the coloured image to the plain die and then added it to the front of the card using Bearly Art Glue.

I hot foiled the sentiment from the Wonderful Sentiments Hot Foil set and then die cut it with the coordinating die. I also die cut another two plain dies and stacked the three dies together with the foiled sentiment on top. This sentiment was then added to the front of the card as shown.

To finish I added some pink jewels around the flowers and sentiment.

Have a Lovely Day With Amazing Paper Grace

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

I love decorative shaped cards and today my card today is inspired by a video on YouTube showing how to make a decorative shaped card the easy way. This technique is so easy and can be used for many decorative dies that have a shadow die as well as a decorative frame. I have taken the technique a little further and created a ‘window’ card that highlights the gorgeous tag and sentiment in the inside back of the card. I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Cascading Grace die to created the shaped decorative card base and decorated with handcrafted daisies made using the Amazing Paper Grace Delightful Daisy Garden Shutters Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Daisies Dies. I have also used ink blending to create more shape and dimension to the flowers and leaves for a more realistic look. I love these layered dies – they are so quick and easy to colour and assemble and are not too dimensional and overpowering for the base card. The flowers work well with the ornate and embossed background dies really well.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.

My Project

To make my card I have cut a piece of white cardstock 10″ x 7″ and folded it in half. I then die cut a shaped card using the shadow die from the Amazing Paper Grace Cascading Grace Dies by placing it over the folded edge. I then die cut a decorative window front out of the front of the card using the decorative frame die and the inside edge die. I die cut and embossed another decorative frame using all three dies and then adhered it to the front of the card. 

For the inside of the card I die cut a decorative die using just the shadow die and the decorative die and adhered it to the inside back of the card. I then got the left over inside panel of the front decorative die and using the edge die as a stencil blended ight green and pink inks before adding it to the centre of the card. I stamped the sentiment to a scrap piece of white cardstock out of Tuxedo Black ink and die cut it out with the large tag. I die cut another plain large tag, stacked them together with the sentiment on top and then added them to the middle of the coloured panel.

I die cut the daisy dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Delightful Daisies Garden Shutter dies and the small daisy dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Daisy Dies out of white cardstock. I coloured the flowers with Lemon Whip, Cherry Blossom, Peony and Begonia inks and the stems and calyx with Sage and Eucalyptus inks. These were shaped and assembled before adding to the bottom right and top left of the card as shown. I have used foam squares on some leaves and flowers for extra dimension.

To finish I added Wink of Stella to the flowers and white pearls to the decorative die.

A Sparkly Rainbow Birthday Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I recently won a challenge in a Facebook group for one of my cards and I was thrilled with my prize that I received. In it was this gorgeous stencil with no branding on it but I loved it. I am relatively new to stenciling and ink blending so I had another go at a rainbow design but this time I added some sparkle to the ink blending with some Nuvo glitter paste – Moonstone. I was thrilled with the result and I will definitely do this again. I have kept my card very simple so as not to distract from the pretty sparkly pattern and just added a simple white border from the Amazing Paper Grace Hemstitch Rectangles and a white flower die that I embossed from Spellbinders that I have had for quite a while. A simple hot foiled ‘Hello’ from Pink Fresh Studio and a stamped ‘Happy Birthday’ from Honey Bee Stamps finished off this card. I was inspired for my card from a card on Instagram – however that card featured a plain dramatic ink blended background and white accents. I am in my happy space with pastels and sparkles.
