Birthday card ideas you’ll want to case! Free project sheet too

November 9, 2026

On last week’s video I shared two birthday card ideas I know you’ll want to copy/case.

Isn’t this a great idea?! To create the present, I cut a small square of DSP and wrapped ribbon around it with a few loops at the top.

I drew lines from the top of the present for the star die-cuts. The Shining Stars dies worked perfectly. These dies just sold out! They were the product of the month for October; I’m surprised they lasted as long as they did.

This card is a gatefold and the images are from the Candle Party stamp set seen here. It’s so cute! It does come with coordinating dies in the bundle seen here. My colors include Lemon Lime Twist with Azure Afternoon and Poppy Parade. The Designer paper inside is the Timeless Christmas.

I used a white ribbon on the gift but colored it with my Poppy Parade Blends marker. Perfect match!
This is a special and unique birthday card anyone would love to receive!

I did create a free project sheet for this card; click here to download or print it.

And below is the video tutorial for this card and one more fabulous idea using this stamp set and the Shining Stars dies.

Colorful Autumn Trees card with a baby wipe technique

September 10, 2025
Fall is in the air here in North Dakota. Look at this gorgeous & colorful autumn tree!

Save

It’s made with the new Autumn Trees bundle seen here. Here’s how I did the tree:
1. I stamped the tree onto Crumb Cake card stock using Crumb Cake ink.
2. Then die-cut it with the tree die from the bundle.
3. Next I inked up a baby wipe with fall colors of Garden Green, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze. I rolled it up and pressed it onto the tree die-cut repeatedly.
4. Lastly I used a Crumb Cake Blends marker to add more detail to the trunk.

I used the Birch Wood embossing folder on the Vanilla background and lightly blended Cajun Craze ink over it. The greeting is from the More Messages bundle.

Stack, cut & shuffle card with Gathering Together DSP – free project sheet too!

September 9, 2025

Here’s another beautiful autumn themed card I shared on last week’s Live video.

Have you ever made a triple stack, cut & shuffle card? It’s a great way to make multiples of a card layout and use your designer paper. Simply cut three different patterns of designer paper at 3 3/4″ X 5″. Stack them together and cut all at the same time. This way they’ll all fit together well once you shuffle them into 3 piles. What’s neat is that you don’t really have to measure your cuts! Watch the video below to see how it’s done.

The designer paper here is the new Gathering Together seen here. It’s gorgeous with Champagne foil accents. This paper is part of our Online Exclusives. To see all of these just released new items click here. Or download & save the Download Online Exclusives flyer

My colors include Early Espresso, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze. The greeting and stamped die-cuts are from the Gathering Moments bundle seen here. The greeting die-cuts are from the Traditional Labels dies seen here. They’re my new favorite set of label dies!
