How about sending someone a bouquet of delicate blue flowers for a birthday surprise? You can, with today’s delicate blue flowers birthday card! It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players.
This week, sweet Joanne is hosting our monthly Clean and Simple challenge. For our crafting pleasure, she selected the theme of “Happy Birthday”. There are so many choices on what you can design. We can’t wait to see what YOU create. But remember, this is a CLEAN and SIMPLE challenge. Before you run off to gather your stamps, papers, and inks, keep in mind that when The Paper Players use the term “clean and simple”, we mean cards that:
Have minimal layers and embellishments
Have plenty of open space
Are simple and uncluttered
Colors Of The Day
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
The Everyday Details dies are awesome for creating frames, like the one on today’s card. To add interest, I embossed it with the Crosshatch Basics 3D embossing folder and added strips of Boho Blue cardstock behind the series of tiny holes. With detailing like this, embellishments are not necessary. Stampin’ Blends make coloring the flowers and vase a breeze. A simple sentiment in a pretty script font, popped up on dimensionals, completes the card.

Ann I am loving that embossed frame with the hint of blue peeking through and it compliments your floral vase perfectly. I think this is one of the best CAS cards you’ve ever created – bravo!
I love everything about this, Ann! Frames make my heart happy and yours is fabulous with the addition of the embossing! The sweet vase of flowers is so pretty too – someone is going to enjoy receiving this on their special day!
Your embossed frame is fabulous, as are those florals! I just love the soft colors you chose! What a delightful card!
Ann, this embossed frame is lovely! I love this gorgeous bouquet. SO soft and elegant. Everything about this card is so pretty!
Beautiful card!! Love the way you put the blue behind the die. So happy this carried over!!
I love this set and am so happy to see it carry over and to see it used in such a pretty way. The addition of the colour under the holes is a subtle way of bringing out the colour in the flowers – very clever.
I love the way you used the die, Ann! And, adding the blue behind the die holes is genius! Thanks for sharing!
Ann… love the combo background of the EF with the dotted rectangle die. Your coloring is lovely…so soft!
Beautiful, clean, simple and elegant card.
like the embossed background
Beautiful!
