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.

Lovely Lily Pad Wow Card

February 3, 2020

Look at this gorgeous card Candace made for our last Flowerbug's Team card swap. She's a fabulous card designer!

She used the Lovely Lily Pad stamp set and the Lily Pad dies for this card. She colored the stamped lily with Wink of Stella. Did you know that if you stamp in our Classic ink you can just blend the colors without adding more ink? Super easy; especially with a nice outline image like this one.

Her colors here are Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay with White and Olive accents.

The greeting here is from the 'Thanks for the Laughs' stamp set on page 11 of your Mini Catalog. See it here.

The Lovely Lily Pad stamp set is free with any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion throught March of 2020. The dies are free with a $100 order. Place a $150 order and you get both FREE plus $15 in free product and Buyer Brownie Points from me. See details on my loyalty program here.

Peaceful Moments in pastel colors

January 30, 2020
Yesterday I shared a bright and colorful card featuring the Peaceful Moments bundle. Today I have a soft and pastel card; totally different in colors and style but using the same bundle.

Candace B made this one for our Flowerbug's Team swap. She chose to use Blushing Bride with Soft Sea Foam, White and Old Olive. Just gorgeous in a totally different way.
- White card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Blushing Bride is 5 3/8" X 4 1/8"
- Soft Sea Foam is 5" X 3 3/4"
She sponged the large petals with Blushing Bride. I just love that little bud at the top of the leaves. It's one of the dies in the Poppy Moments set. You can see the bundle here.
