Today I’m excited to share a stepped-up version of yesterday’s Simple Sunday card, showcasing how you can take a basic design and elevate it with some extra touches.
This birthday card features the beautiful Textured Floral stamp set, which creates stunning embossed floral designs. I’ve used a fresh, springtime color palette of Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime Twist, and Lemon Lolly that gives the card a cheerful, celebratory feel.
The card base is Coastal Cabana, providing a solid foundation for the layered elements. I’ve added texture and depth with an embossed white background layer, which complements the floral stamps beautifully. The stamped flowers in Coastal Cabana pop against this textured backdrop.
To add more visual interest, I’ve included a striped paper strip in coordinating colors along the bottom. The ‘happy birthday’ sentiment is neatly framed on a die-cut label, tied with a delicate Lemon Lime Twist bow for that perfect finishing touch.
This stepped-up design shows how adding layers, texture, and small embellishments can transform a simple card into something truly special. It’s perfect for those times when you want to create a card that’s a little more elaborate for someone special.
I’d love to hear what you think of this stepped-up design! Leave a comment below and let me know if you’d like to see more variations on our Simple Sunday cards.
