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.

October’s Christmas Cards Class; or choose the tutorial only.

September 21, 2020
Last week was my first set of Christmas card classes and in 2 weeks will be the second set.

I always enjoy creating the cards for these classes. It can be a challenge to keep them simple but striking! Here's this month's set:

I chose to feature a few new stamp sets or bundles from the 2020 Holiday Catalog.

From top left to bottom right:
- Snow Wonder bundle in Misty Moonlight & black
- Poinsettia Petals bundle in Real Red & Mossy Meadow
- Joyful Holiday with Gleaming Ornaments, Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce & Green Foil paper
- Life is Beautiful in Early Espresso & Balmy Blue
Class will be on both October 12th & 16th and we'll make 3 of each card with coordinating envelopes.

If you're not local to Minot, ND you can purchase the pdf tutorial too. Check it out here to see this one and September's too. These tutorials are great for personal use or for class projects too!
