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.

Translucent Florals card made with colored vellum

December 27, 2023
I created this pretty card with the Translucent Florals bundle. I used our vellum card stock and changed it from opaque to Fresh Freesia.

It's really easy to do. Here's how:
1. I cut a good size piece of vellum from the main sheet and laid it onto my grid paper.
2. Then I pressed my open ink pad onto the card stock until it was covered.
3. To smooth the ink out use sponges or a blending brush. Let dry or heat set before die-cutting.
4. Die-cut the flowers, leaves and white centers
Products & measurements:
- Translucent Floral bundle
- White card stock – card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score & fold at 4 1/4"
- Painted Texture embossing folder – white is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
- Fresh Freesia card stock 3 7/8" X 4 7/8"
- Granny Apple Green 4 1/4" X 1" strip
- Vellum card stock – a large piece colored with Fresh Freesia ink and a small piece with Granny Apple Green ink
- Blending Brushes
Here's a photo of this pretty bundle. See it here.
