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.

He’s the Man fun fold card; Facebook Live tonight!

June 13, 2022
Here's the card we're making tonight for Stamp with Me Live. It's at 7:30 pm CT here.

Gather some supplies and create along with me.

I used He's the Man DSP; no stamping on the front. I used the die-cuts included in the special He's the Man designer series paper. I love this paper with the two sheets of fun elements we can use for card making or scrapbooking.

It's a fun fold card with the bottom half opening up to reveal the same angled square piece as the front. These are from the Stylish Shapes dies seen here. This set of dies is all stitched in squares, circles and banner shapes!

Measurements:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4", & 2 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
- embossed back is 5 1/4" X 4"
- Squares 2 3/4" & 2 3/8"
- DSP 5 1/4" X 2"
Other products used:

Dies are Stylish Shapes; Brick embossing folder & Rustic Metallic adhesive-backed dots.

The stamp is from the He's All That bundle; the arrow is another element from the Designer Paper seen here.

Join me here where I'll share a few more cards made with this layout.

Glimmer Paper meets the Slim Card dies for a big WOW!

June 10, 2022
I hope you're not tired of the Slim line cards I've been sharing this week. I've been having a lot of fun making them with the Slim Card dies and the Slim Saying stamp set.

I shared these striking cards on FB Live Tuesday:

I wanted to use the new 2022-24 In Color glimmer paper, I knew it would show off it's ombre' effect nicely with the Slim Card dies. I chose to use the 2 in colors of Parakeet Party with Starry Sky.

The Slim Sayings bundle is retiring this month and available while supplies last. BUT the Slim Card dies are on sale now at 50% off! See them here. It's a better deal to get the Slim Card dies separately from the Slim Sayings stamp set even though they are available in a bundle.

Measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 7 1/4" scored at 3 5/8"
- White layer for the die-cut 3 1/2" X 8 1/2"
I had to cut the colored glimmer paper twice since it's in 6 X 6" size and the die is about 8 1/2" long. I also used the Picture This dies for the greeting label and the Starlit punch for the glimmer stars; also punched from the In Color Glimmer paper.

I saved the outside pieces from the chevron glimmer paper and made this card:

I just couldn't throw it away and decided it could be used for a second card. I adhered the two colored pieces to a piece of White card stock and trimmed off the excess before adding it to a card base of Orchid Oasis.
