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.

Pretty Pansy Patch fun fold card with measurements!

June 3, 2021
Check out this pretty fun fold card using the Pansy Patch suite:

The flowers are die-cut from the Pansy Petals designer paper. Yes; the Pansy dies match the Designer paper perfectly – 2 sets each of leaves and flowers coordinate!

Note that adorable golden bee embellishment. They're called Bumblebee trinkets but they are currently unavailable. They should be back in stock around June 7th.

Here are the measurements for this pretty card:
- Evening Evergreen: 8 ½” X 5 ½” base scored at 1 ¼” and 4 ¼”
- Fresh Freesia: 1” X 5 ¼”
- Basic White: 2 pieces – 3” X 4 ¼” for stitched rectangle die-cut and 2 ¾” X 4” for inside
- Pansy Petals Designer Paper: 1 ½” X 5 ½” plus more for the die-cut pansies
I created this display for the Pansy Patch bundle seen here; see how many dies you get? And you can see how to put each of them together as well.

This suite is fresh, springy and unique. See it all here.

How many ways can you use the Elegant Tag punch? LOTS!

June 1, 2021

Look at these pretty projects using the Simply Elegant suite

The Simply Elegant Specialty designer paper is gorgeous as well! It's filled with detailed patterns in Basic Black, Basic Gray, copper, gold, silver, Very Vanilla, Whisper White.

Check out the Elegantly Said stamp set here in the bundle with the Elegant Tag punch.

Here's a bunch of additional ways to use this Elegant Tag punch. You can lengthen it or insert narrower strips into it. Or use one end or the other to get lots of unique shaped tags with this Elegant Tag punch.

Unfortunately this punch is on back order until July! But you can still order it right now. I have a feeling they'll turn it off soon and it will be unorderable.
