It’s day three of our Birthday Week blog celebration! Time sure does fly when you’re having fun, and we certainly are here—sharing inspiration and giving away amazing prizes from our partners! Today creative team member Mindy Eggen is sharing flowers for our birthday—in card form! Let’s take a look!
………………………
Welcome, everyone! It’s Mindy and I’m so excited to be joining you today celebrating Birthday Week with SCT!
Do you know someone who loves flowers? Instead of sending them flowers, how about a card with beautiful floral designs that they can keep indefinitely? Pinkfresh Studio has just the ones for you!
Supplies | Stamps/Dies/Stencils: Pinkfresh Studio; Cardstock: Lawn Fawn; Adhesive: Thermoweb, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L; Embellishments: Pinkfresh Studio
If your recipient prefers a simple design, try the Rustic Floral Wreath. With the beautiful assortment of inks that Pinkfresh Studio offers, you can customize this to the person’s favorite colors.
The wreath draws attention to the center of the card which is the perfect place for a sentiment. The Classic Word Die Set is super versatile and can be used not only for birthdays but lots of other occasions as well.
If you struggle with the placement of jewels and embellishments, add them right to the center of the flowers!
If the recipient is more into larger flowers, the Choose Hope set is a perfect fit. You can choose from stamping the image or using the stencil to add layers to your florals. For an even better match, use both the stamp and stencil set!
Dress up your cards with sparkle! Stamp a background like the Sweet Blooms to colored cardstock, heat emboss in sparkle embossing powder, and add just a touch of ink blending on the sides. It’s a very subtle look that pulls your eye into the center of the card where your floral image is placed.
A great way to add some flare to a simple design is by die-cutting the sentiment from holographic cardstock. Then, to not overpower the sentiment or card design, add the shadow layer of the sentiment using vellum. It adds just the right amount of softness.
What a great way to send birthday wishes that they can treasure for years to come!

My favorite birthday celebrations are those spent with family and friends poolside. My birthday is in September so I’m really hoping we can do that this year. Lovely giveaways today. The floral bouquet cards are beautiful.
Ideal birthday, quiet getaway with my husband to our favorite town!
My ideal birthday would be to travel to a foreign country to go hiking. Of course I would also like a cake!
My favourite birthday celebration is enjoying a good meal with my own family. A day off from kitchen and just enjoy the food and being with the loved one.
I love having BBQs on my birthday (which quite often falls on or very near to Mother’s Day here in Canada)
Best birthday, with family and friends! Especially, since Covid, celebrations are important and able to give hugs, hopefully soon!!!!! Love all the prizes, today.
Favorite birthday would be scrapping with my friends in the mountains. I so enjoy crafting and have a group that scraps every Wednesday and Thursday of every week.
My birthday is in the dead of winter so I always try and celebrate it somewhere warm. It’s always a great getaway that allows me to spend time with my family and friends. This year I wasn’t able to go but instead I did the SCT crop and create card making event and had a blast!
Great prizes, thank you and happy 15th birthday! I’d love to spend my birthday somewhere warm and sunny for once. I’m a December baby and it always snows!
Thank you SCT and your awesome sponsors. I always check each one’s website. My ideal birthday is being with family camping. Since all my kids work and my husband has passed away, I have treated myself to a solo camping trip to Yellowstone National Park on my past two birthdays.
Our ideal birthday is spent with family with lots of food and laughter. This week was my husbands birthday (actually yesterday)It was celebrated with just us and our young kiddos. We still had a lot of laughter and fun for his second COVID birthday celebration.
Happy birthday SCT! My ideal birthday would is spending part of the day with my family and then some quiet time for me to craft.
My favourite way to spend my birthday is with my family. The last year has been difficult for all of us without being with family. My wish for 2021 is to have a family birthday celebration!!!
My favorite birthday would be spending time with my family and traveling again…
Awesome cards by Mindy! Thanks for sharing.

Since I am a Summer baby, my favorite birthday is a long bike ride with friends with a nice stop at a restaurant to break up the ride. Love the beautiful rails to trails rides in our area or perhaps a destination birthday to discover new bike trails. Enjoy being outside and being active makes for a great time. Love the giveaway!
The flower collection is so bright and beautiful. My ideal bday celebration is on a patio chair, in a green space reading a book and eating chocolate cake or ice-cream.

My ideal way involves some sort of activity or event. Memories over things.
My ideal birthday is to travel somewhere that I haven’t been before. The year before the Pandemic, we went to San Antonio and is was perfect. Can’t wait to travel again.
My favorite way to spend my birthday is with my family. We have suffered many losses, including my husband, but my girls and I always get together for a nice dinner somewhere and a giant birthday cake, which we never finish. This year I am turning 60, and I am retiring after 34 years of teaching high school English, so we are having a big blow-out, and I can’t wait!
My ideal birthday would be a beach vacation with the whole family! Happy Birthday SCT !

What stunning cards from Mindy!! Absolutely beautiful!!! Fantastic prizes also!! My ideal birthday is to spend time with my family and friends.
