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.

• Pretty Marvelous Nature card with video tutorial & measurements

  June 8, 2023

  ---

  I've seen a few projects with the Marvelous Nature set and was intrigued by it's reverse images. And it's nature so I ordered it.  This card was one of two I made on this week's Live video: 

  

  I chose to use Lost Lagoon with Pretty Peacock. I also added some of the Hello, Irresistible designer paper. This pretty DSP is on sale right now too!  See it here.  

  You may also spy the shimmery strip beside the greeting.  This is our Soft Shimmer 12" X 12" paper pack seen here.  It has 5 rich colors in it.

  

  The Marvelous Nature stamp set (seen here) includes two beautiful images and three greetings.  I kept my card very simple to show off the pretty fern image. 

  

  I love these colors together!

• Colorful Inked Botanicals card kit or PDF tutorial option; available now

  June 7, 2023

  ---

  The Inked Botanicals designer paper is a favorite of my customers so I chose it as one of my June card kits.  The color combinations and botanical prints are pretty and quite colorful too. 

  Here are the cards I came up with: 

  

  This 10 card kit features the Inked Botanicals 6 X 6" designer paper by Stampin' Up!  There are 5 designs and you'll make 2 of each.

  Each month I offer at least two kits to go.  The other June kit features the Bright & Beautiful DSP seen here. Each one is available as a pre-cut kit (a convenience for those who don't like to measure or cut pieces) or as a PDF tutorial.  See all of my kits & tutorials here.  

  You'll receive the following in this pre-cut kit:

  • 1/2 pkg. 6 X 6" Inked Botanicals DSP
  • a share of Lost Lagoon 1/4" ribbon
  • a share of Brass Butterflies gems
  • All pre-cut pieces for the 10 cards including punched & die-cut pieces
  • the PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately

  Click here to see the pre-cut kit option.  It's $28 plus shipping.  *Opt in by June 19th. 

  Or Click here for the PDF tutorial; it's $15.

  The tutorial includes photos, step by step directions, a supplies list and measurements.  You'll receive the PDF tutorial in an email immediately after payment.  Please check your spam or junk folder. 

  To complete the cards you will need the following: Calypso Coral & Lost Lagoon inks, a paper trimmer and adhesives. 

  I used the Layering Leaves stamp set for my greeting images.  If you'd like to add it to the kit at an extra 10% off, please message me here and I'll send you an invoice.   

  I think the colors and patterns in this designer paper are fantastic!

• Gorgeously Made & Delightfully Eclectic swaps

  June 6, 2023

  ---

  I thought I'd share a few swaps I received on the Norway incentive trip. 

  This first card was made by Alanna Wharf. It features the Gorgeously Made bundle seen here.  

  

  This card put me over the edge; now I have to get this bundle!  

  She used the Masterfully Made 12" designer paper seen here (sale price now at $10.62) and the Soft Shimmer 12" combo pack on the leaf die-cut.

  Here's a close-up of this specialty paper and the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder.  I love the simplicity of this card; it really shows off the die-cut, pretty DSP & texture.  

  

  Next is a card my friend Susie Wood made with the new Delightfully Eclectic  12 X 12" designer paper seen here.  It's on sale this month; marked down from $30 to $25.50. There are 48 sheets in this pack; 4 each of 12 designs.  

  

  I love her layout; it really shows off the pattern of the daisy DSP.  That greeting die-cut is from the Nested Essential dies seen here.  

  

  Her measurements are:

  • Petal Pink card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
  • yellow DSP 2" X 4"
  • Crushed Curry CS 4 1/2" X 3 1/4"
  • daisy DSP 4 pieces at 1" X 3"
