Birthday
This colourful birthday card is designed to look as jubilant as a surprise party, like something you might tuck in with a hand-tied bouquet on your way through Mottingham high street. Dominating the front is the phrase "Happy Birthday," printed in big, rounded letters that sweep across the card in a playful arc. Each letter is filled with a smooth gradient of colour, moving through vivid red, tangerine, golden yellow, grassy green, turquoise, indigo, and violet, as if each one had been dipped into different jars of paint. The effect calls to mind strings of balloons, frosted cupcakes, and bright ribbons fluttering in a gentle breeze. Behind this main message, the background is covered edge to edge with very fine, looping script in metallic gold, repeating "Happy Birthday to you" like a quiet chorus. The script is slightly blurred and delicate, giving a soft, twinkling texture, similar to the way morning light glances off dew in the green spaces around Mottingham. From certain angles, the lettering appears to shimmer, suggesting a layer of gentle glitter, though the surface still looks smooth to the touch. Tiny starbursts and colourful specks are scattered across the design, like confetti tossed at the height of the celebration. The card's finish has a soft gloss that makes the colours feel rich and saturated, while the composition balances bold, youthful energy with a hint of elegance. It's easy to imagine this card paired with a bright birthday arrangement, ready for same-day delivery to a doorstep on a quiet residential street, bringing not just a message, but a sense of shared joy and occasion.
CARD BIRTHDAY 3
£2.99
In this charming birthday scene, a whimsical bouquet of balloons appears to lift a cluster of fresh flowers into the air, as though floating over the leafy streets of Mottingham on a bright spring day. The background is a soft, rosy pink that sets a tender, celebratory tone. Balloons in gentle pastels-powder pink, seafoam green, sunshine yellow, and a whisper of lavender-rise together, each adorned with its own joyful pattern. Some are wrapped in curling ribbon stripes, others sprinkled with polka dots or swirling motifs that seem to shimmer like light on the ponds around nearby parks. At the heart of the arrangement, a lush bouquet of roses and daisy-like blooms nestles at the base of the balloons. Their petals are full and fresh, shaded from warm cream through blush to soft fuchsia, suggesting the inviting fragrance of a local Mottingham flower shop early in the morning. A rich purple bow ties the stems with care, its satin texture catching the light and adding a refined flourish. Subtle stars and butterfly-like accents dance around the design, evoking the gentle movement of petals in a breeze along Mottingham's quiet residential lanes. The whole artwork feels light and buoyant, yet thoughtfully composed, as though crafted by a florist who understands how to turn a birthday wish into a moment of pure delight-perfect for sending love and celebratory cheer to someone special nearby.
CARD HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEART BALLOON
£2.99
This elegant birthday card is designed in calming shades of blue and glowing gold, evoking the peaceful, unhurried feeling of a birthday morning in Mottingham before the day truly begins. The entire face of the card is covered in wide, horizontal bands of blue, layered from rich navy and deep ocean tones at the bottom through mid-blue, teal, and soft sky towards the top. These stripes blend into one another with a painterly ease, creating a sense of depth and soft movement, like watching clouds drift above the trees in Elmstead Woods. At the centre, the message "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" appears in bold, capital letters, stamped in metallic gold foil that rises slightly from the surface. The gold shines without being brash, offering a gentle shimmer whenever the card is tilted towards the light, like the glow of lamplight in a cosy Mottingham living room. Beneath the main greeting sits an ornate golden scroll motif, a flowing line of curves and loops that adds refinement and a hint of classic romance. Below this flourish are three narrow gold banners, each neatly aligned and carrying the words: "Relax, have a great day and enjoy!" The phrases are short but heartfelt, conveying warmth without crowding the design. Around the edge of the card runs a fine gold border, a slim line that frames the scene and gives it a polished, finished feel. The card stock looks sturdy and smooth to the touch, its matte blue surface contrasting beautifully with the glossy gold accents. It is easy to imagine this card resting beside a hand-tied bouquet delivered across Mottingham, quietly enhancing a birthday table or mantel with its soothing colours and quietly celebratory style.
