Birthday
This birthday card design feels as festive and bright as a community celebration near Leamouth Basin, capturing the energy of a joyful gathering in a single image. Dominating the front are the words "Happy Birthday", written in big, rounded block letters that arch slightly across the card, giving a sense of movement and fun. Each letter carries its own colour, flowing in a gentle gradient from deep ruby and raspberry tones through warm corals and golden yellows into crisp greens, aquas and velvety purples, as if someone has arranged a rainbow garland across the page. The colours are saturated but softly blended at the edges, reminiscent of fairy lights glowing through tissue-paper lanterns. Between the letters, tiny speckles and bursts of colour dance like confetti tossed into the air during a party in a Leamouth loft studio. Layered behind this bold greeting, the background is filled with delicate golden script that repeats "Happy Birthday to you" in a looping, cursive hand. The metallic ink has a fine, glitter-like sheen, glimmering subtly rather than flashing, so it feels elegant and celebratory rather than overpowering. The surface of the card appears smooth and slightly glossy, reflecting just enough light to make the colours come alive. There is no clutter or extra illustration, allowing the interplay of colour and golden lettering to carry the feeling of celebration. It's the kind of card you could imagine standing proudly beside a vibrant birthday bouquet delivered to a flat overlooking the River Lea, adding a polished, heartfelt touch to the occasion while keeping the mood relaxed, modern and genuinely cheerful.
CARD BIRTHDAY 3
£2.99
This birthday card artwork captures the feeling of a cheerful Leamouth celebration floating into the room. Against a tender wash of rose-pink, a cluster of pastel balloons rises as if just released from a birthday gathering by the River Lea. Each balloon has its own character: some wear twirling ribbon stripes of teal, lemon, and lilac, others are sprinkled with confetti-like dots, and a few bloom with soft, floral patterns that echo the bouquet below. At the heart of the cluster, a rounded balloon in blush and fuchsia radiates warmth, almost like a glowing wish just made. From this airy display, silvery strings trail down to meet a hand-tied bouquet at the base. The flowers, a mix of petite roses and anemone-style blossoms, are shaded in creamy ivory, blush pink, and whispery mauve, their petals layered and feathery, suggesting freshness you might find in a local Leamouth garden after light rain. A violet satin bow wraps the stems neatly, adding a deliberate, crafted touch that feels like the work of an experienced florist accustomed to creating birthday surprises for homes around the Docklands Light Railway and Trinity Buoy Wharf. Faint stars and tiny butterflies scatter around the design, giving the impression of movement and soft birthday magic. Light seems to spill gently over the scene, highlighting the gloss of the balloons and the velvety texture of each petal, creating an atmosphere of pure, uplifting celebration, perfect for marking a special day in and around Leamouth.
CARD HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEART BALLOON
£2.99
This elegant birthday card combines tranquil blue tones with shimmering gold details, creating a design that feels both modern and timeless, like something carefully selected from a favourite Leamouth gift shop. The background is composed of broad, horizontal bands that stretch across the card, each stripe a slightly different shade of blue-from deep, inky navy at the top to softer, breezier hues reminiscent of open sky towards the bottom. The transitions between the colours are gentle, producing a soothing ombre effect that feels calm and unhurried, rather like a peaceful walk along the riverside paths near Leamouth. In the centre of this layered backdrop, the phrase "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" stands out in bold, metallic gold. The letters are embossed and slightly raised, giving a sense of quality card stock and careful craftsmanship. The foil catches the light at different angles, so you can almost picture the soft glimmer as the card is turned in someone's hands. Just beneath the main greeting, a delicate golden flourish curves gracefully from side to side, adding a hint of vintage charm and separating the headline message from the wording below. At the lower third of the card, three gold message banners sit one beneath the other, each slim and neatly aligned. Embossed within them are friendly birthday sentiments: "Relax, have a great day and enjoy!" Together, they suggest a day of rest, treats, and simple pleasures. A narrow gold frame runs along the outer edge of the card, tying all the elements together. Displayed next to a birthday bouquet delivered across Leamouth, this card would bring a sense of thoughtful, understated celebration.
