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

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.

• Fun Swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team with Sneak Peaks from the Holiday catalog

  July 27, 2021

  ---

  Today I'm sharing two swaps made by my talented Flowerbug's Team.  I love seeing their style & creativity!

  Karen made this fun fold card using the Bunches of Fun stamp set seen here. 

  

  Her colors are Black, White & Crushed Curry.  She also used a fun technique called Paper Piecing.  She stamped the gal onto Pattern Party DSP and fussy cut the dress out.  Love this!!  

  

  See that texture on the large Crushed Curry layer?  That's a sneak peak from the upcoming Holiday catalog.  It's called Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.  

  

  Measurements:

  • Black – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", 3" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • Crushed Curry 4" X 5 1/4", 2 3/4" X 4"
  • White 2 1/2" X 3 3/4" 

  ~~~

  Next is another Sneak Peak card made by Lori.  She used the new Penguin Place bundle in the Holiday catalog.  It includes a cute Penguin punch!  

  

  She added a layer of White to her Balmy Blue card base and torn the upper edge. She added a bit of Wink of Stella to the torn area for snow.  A super fun winter birthday card!

  I am excited to share this card swap Candace made for our July 'use yellow' theme for my Flowerbug's Team.  She used the Give it a Whirl dies seen here and the Stellar Birthday stamp set seen here.  Isn't her sponging and coloring amazing!!!?

  

  She fussy cut the kids but the rest of the die-cuts are all from the Give it a Whirl dies seen on pages 57 & 163 of the Annual Stampin' Up! catalog. 

   

  Her colors are Night of Navy, Highland Heather, Pacific Point & Daffodil Delight.

  

  Amazing, right??

• Another Nature’s Harvest sample – Sneak Peak!

  July 23, 2021

  ---

  I created this card for an online swap I participated in.  I love to join card swaps!  I can create one card and make multiples of it.  Then I get a nice variety back that I didn't have to think of!  Plus I receive cards that may not be my style but are my customers style.  Isn't it wonderful that we are all different?!  

  I decided to focus on the 'blues' in the Harvest Meadow designer series paper.  I am usually very happy with a monochromatic card.  They can be very easy on the eye.  

  

  I cut out two of the 'tall flower/botanical' die-cut in White CS and adhered it to the largest tags in the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here. I added a bow in White Baker's Twine.  The greeting is one of the dies in the Nature's dies along with the tall flowers. 

  The Nature's Harvest bundle can be found in the upcoming 2021 Holiday July/December Mini Catalog.  If you're on my customer list you should be receiving this catalog AND your Sale-a-Bration catalog any day now.  This catalog goes live on August 3rd along with Sale-a-Bration too! 

  In this photo you may be able to spy the texture on the tag.  It's called Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.  It's subtle design will be a favorite of many!
