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.

• Check out these CUTE Potions & Spells Halloween card swaps

  September 19, 2024

  ---

  Last weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team swap – our theme was Fall or Halloween cards. 

  Today's first card is made by Ginny who chose the Potions & Spells bundle. 

  

  Such an adorable card!  She cased it from Julie Gilson.  I love the colors of Granny Apple Green, Black, gray, Peach Pie with bits of purple & yellow.  

  Check out this cute bundle here. 

  

  The White background is stamped with a few small images, then ink is added lightly with a Blending Brush before it's textured.  The cat, broom and stack of books are adorable! 

  

  Next is a fun card made by Robin who used this same bundle. She also added a ghost from the Playful Ghosts stamp set. 

  

  She's a master at sponging her backgrounds. I sure love her color scheme of purple, green & black.  

  Next is Candy's striking card also using the Potions & Spells bundle. 

  

  She used the bubbles image to make her own background. The oozing slime and bubble die-cuts are the Old Olive glimmer paper.  I love the White Deckled Circle die-cut behind the cauldron. It looks like a moon. 

  Here's the inside of her cute book-binding card:

  

  More swaps coming tomorrow!

• Changing Leaves Dutch Door card with free project sheet & video

  September 18, 2024

  ---

  It's free shipping today!  Plus my annual Mystery Box sale! 

  

  ~~~

  Are you drawn to monochromatic cards like me?  Today's project is entirely green tones.  It's a card we made at Club in August and it features the beautiful Changing Leaves bundle. 

  

  The colors include Old Olive, Mossy Meadow & White. I chose the very special Changing Leaves bundle for this because of the neat textures you can achieve with the 3D embossing folder that matches the large leaves die.

  

  This bundle has been out of stock for quite a few weeks but should return around September 23rd. See it here. 

  The White rectangle is from the Deckled Rectangle dies seen here. 

  

  It's a Dutch Door card fold where the side opens up and brings the center layers with it. This long piece is 11" X 2 1/4" and is scored at 5 1/2". It's attached to the bottom of the 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" card base.  Check out the free project sheet for it. Click on the following link to print or save it: Download August 24 Changing Leaves dutch door card

  

  I shared this card and another very special fun fold card on the following video.  Be sure to follow me here on my YouTube channel; I share lots of fun folds and techniques every week!
