Citrus & Sparkle: A Summer Birthday Card from The Greetery

Jul 25, 2025 | By: Lea Lawson

Happy Friday, crafty friends! I’m so excited to share my latest card creation with you today, after a little blogging hiatus. Life’s been a bit hectic, and I had to squeeze in some crafty catch-up this week! When things get busy, blogging and social media are usually the first to take a backseat... lol!

This card holds a special place in my heart—it’s one I've created for my very first post on The Greetery blog! I’ve admired their beautiful products for so long, and finally getting the chance to create with them in this way was an absolute joy. It’s a bright and cheerful birthday design full of citrusy color, layered stamping, and garden-inspired details. I've picked products that I purchased long ago, but never had a chance to break them out and create something beautiful. Let’s dive into all the pretty parts!

Summer Birthday card

Card size: A2 - 4.25" x 5.5" (inches)

FEATURED PRODUCTS - if you love my card & would like to purchase any of the products I've used, I would love for you to shop from my links! I earn a small commission at no cost to you, allowing me to contribute to our finances. I appreciate this gesture more than words can express!

Here are simple instructions on how to create today's cards:

  • Cut & fold (1) A2 card base from white cardstock.
  • Ink blend the card front using the Tartan Builder: Diagonal stencil set in cherry blossom pink.
  • Diecut the Frosted Frame from ivory glitter cardstock, then adhere to the front with thin foam strips.
  • Stamp the mason jar in ocean breeze & waterfall, then heat emboss the twine in iridescent gold.
  • Stamp lemons in lemon whip & sweet mustard.
  • Stamp the blossoms in cherry blossom, peony & begonia.
  • Stamp the sentiment in nocturne & peony.
  • Diecut all stamped elements using their coordinating dies.
  • Diecut strawberries, leaves, and stems from the BotaniCuts Strawberries die set from white cardstock (excluding the flowers).
  • Ink blend the berry elements in peony & berrylicious and the greenery in key lime, olive & evergreen.
  • Arrange stamped and diecut pieces to the front. using foam adhesive for added dimension.
  • Accent with self adhesive Aura AB gems to finish.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this bright little birthday card sparked some inspiration and maybe gave you a reason to pull out a few supplies you’ve been meaning to use. There’s just something magical about layering stamps, blending inks, and watching a garden of elements come to life on paper. Until next time—happy crafting, friends! 💛
