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.

You are Remarkable card in a clean & simple style with video & free project sheet

March 10, 2025

I created this pretty card with the new 'You Are Remarkable' stamp set from our Online Exclusive offering.

I was going for a clean & simple look since that's our March Team swap theme. I just received this pretty stamp set and love the 2-step & distinktive set a lot! See this stamp set here.

My colors include Black, White, Fresh Freesia and Lemon Lime Twist for the leaves. The embossing folder is called Dashing Designs and is from the Annual Catalog.

I also used the new Textured Notes dies for the stitched rectangles. These are incredible! See them here:

On the video I changed the card a bit from the original on the left. Which do you prefer? How many differences can you spot?

Here's the free project sheet for this card. Click on the following link to print or download it. Download You Are Remarkable Hello

Below is the video with this card and another pretty fun fold card using the new Arches dies.

Delightful Wishes fun fold card swap

March 7, 2025
Look at this beautiful card Paula made for last month's card swap. The theme was to use circles.

She used the Floral Delight suite (seen here) which includes the following products:
- Delightful Wishes bundle seen here
- Floral Delight DSP
- Bees Trinkets *unavailable right now
- Floral & Gingham Vellum
It's a super neat fun fold with two opening flaps.

Here are the measurements:
- card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". Cut off the upper left flap diagonally.
- second flap 8 1/2" X 3 1/4" scored at 4 1/4"
- two pieces of DSP 5 1/4" X 4", one cut in half diagonally.
- Crushed Curry CS 4" X 3"
- inside White 4" X 3"
Some of my favorite things about this card are the circle greetings, the die-cut vellum flowers, the little bees and the bright & springy colors. Thanks for creating this incredible card Paula!

Striking Botanical Textures card kit or tutorial; Black & White with pops of color!

March 5, 2025
Many of us love Black & White designer series paper and the new Botanical Textures DSP fills that need. I love adding pops of color to the Black & White colors! Here is another new card kit option for March:

Many of the cards are fun fold layouts. Reserve your pre-cut card kit or choose the PDF tutorial option.

This kit includes the following:
- 10 pre-cut cards with die-cuts and punched pieces
- 1/2 pkg. Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper (6" X 12)
- a share of 1/4" White ribbon
- a share of new Neutral Matte dots
- the PDF tutorial with measurements, step by step directions, photos and a supply list
The PDF tutorial will be sent to you via email immediately after payment; please check your junk mail. The pre-cut kit and product will be mailed out at the end of March, barring any product supply issues.

You'll need adhesives, a paper trimmer to cut your new DSP, greeting images, adhesives & Black ink. I used the So Sincere stamp set for my greetings; but you can substitute others easily.

This pre-cut kit costs $31 plus shipping and is found here.

The PDF tutorial includes step by step instructions, photos, a supply list and measurements. This tutorial is $16 and can be seen here.

Remember I have lots of kits or tutorials available at my Shop here. Save money on shipping when you purchase more than one.
