The Fungeon has been bustling with excitement lately! Between packing up my Super-Awesome Fun Time Card Kits (heading out early next week!) and getting everything ready for my Holiday Mini Catalog Product Shares, there’s no shortage of activity around here. Even so, I made sure to carve out a little time to create something special—a sweet birthday card featuring brand-new dies and a dreamy mix of beautiful blues. Here’s the card I’m excited to share with you today:
I built the arrangement of flowers with two dies from the Charming Day Dies—such easy pieces to cut out and cluster together for a burst of gorgeousness! Here’s a look at the Charming Day Bundle, which includes these dies (and just so happens to be the bundle I’m featuring in the kits I’m packing this week):
I cut each die twice—the floral image is cropped with Cloud Cover and Basic White cardstock, while the tall, leafy sprig is cut from Cloud Cover. Here’s a closer look at these beauties, which I tucked into the bottom-left corner of the Secret Sea panel:
The layered panels on my card are cut from the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper. This pack is a stunner! Because it includes several of the 2025-2027 In Colors, it’s marked down from $12.50 to $10.63 during this month’s sale. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in this versatile pack of papers:
You don’t have to follow my blog closely to know that the Simply Said stamp set is one of my absolute go-to’s. I reach for it all the time! The clean fonts are perfect for stamping on strips of cardstock, making it easy to add just the right sentiment to any project. For today’s card, I heat embossed the “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” with white embossing powder on a Secret Sea strip—a simple, bold sentiment that pops beautifully against the intricate floral background. Here’s a look at this must-have stamp set:
To finish my card, I added a trio of Cloud Cover gems from the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls for a touch of extra blue and just the right amount of shine. These gems are also on sale right now—and they’re a perfect addition to any craft stash.

Hi Brian
What a gorgeous card! Love the combination of colors! I’ve see so many ideas using the Charming Day bundle I need to add that to wish list!
Thanks for sharing your creativity!
So happy to share, Dawn! Thanks for your kind feedback – I have loved these blues from the beginning. I’m slowly falling in love with all the other colors. This is a great bundle – be sure to check out the incredible dies.
Beautiful card!
Awww…thanks, Michelle! ♥
You do know how to sing the blues! Pretty card!
🙂 Thanks, Linda! ♥
Love x5 this card!!!! And do I spy a new “stamp with Brian” watermark? It’s so fun!
Question- you said you cut 2 each of the dies, did you glue them together to stack? It doesn’t look like that upon close examination. I need to know your tricks kind sir!
You have a good eye, Cindie! 🙂 Yes – I did glue them together, allowing them to be offset a bit. Hope that helps!
Beautiful, love this card!
Thank you so much, Lori! So glad you like it. ♥
Stunning!
Thanks, Jen! ♥
Beautiful card!

Thanks
That makes me so happy, Connie! You won’t be disappointed. ♥
