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.

The new Rainbow Glimmer paper is absolutely amazing! Have you seen it yet? Click here.

If you like colors, and I mean sparkly, bright colors you need to get some of this Rainbow glimmer paper! It's on page 153 of the Annual Catalog.

Here I used the Many Medallion dies to cut a full sheet of this pretty paper and adhered it to a Black card. All it needed was a simple greeting (Tasteful Touches set) and bow made with the new Pool Party sheer ribbon!

How about another option?

I used the same strip of this paper for this die-cut; it's just further down on the sheet. So many beautiful colors in gradient hues. The greeting is from the Field of Flowers stamp set.

Here are both cards side by side.

Which do you think highlights this beautiful glimmer paper better; white or black? I was torn so I did one of each.

I made these cards to send out to everyone who purchased the Starter Kit from me in June.

I used the Gorgeous Posies stamp set (seen here) in Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral. I just love our Distinktive style stamps!!

I stamped the large flower once in full strength Calypso Coral ink, stamped below without reinkining, and then lastly off to the right side. Look at the gorgeous leaves; they are two different images. Both full strength ink but the solid style leaf is the Distinktive style so you get multiple hues of ink with just one stamping. I did stamp the flower center dots image using White Craft ink.

The greeting is from a stamp set only Demonstrators can purchase. The die is from the Tasteful Labels dies.
