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.

2 Pretty Team card swaps with neat technique ideas!

March 12, 2025
Today I'm sharing two Team Swaps from last month. Both have neat product ideas.

First is Tracey's cute card. Can you guess what the tiny scallops on the DSP is?

She used the Petal Pink scalloped ribbon under the DSP! Tracey has a special gift on fun ways to use ribbon & twine. This effect is so pretty & delicate looking. It's currently in low inventory.

Measurements:

The DSP is 5 1/4" X 1 3/4", the White 5 1/4" X 4", the card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". The layer under the ribbon & DSP is 5 1/4 X 2"

Here is a list of the many products she used:
- Hugs for Love bundle seen here (punch will be available in April)
- Moody Mauve, Basic White & Pretty in Pink CS
- Timeless Plaid 6 X 6" DSP seen here
- Spotlight on Nature dies seen here
- 2 3/8" circle punch
- Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder (circle)
- Heat embossing technique
~~~

Next is a pretty card made by Lori. Her special technique surprised me! Do you spot it?

She stitched her die-cut circle (Spotlight on Nature) with the 3 color pack of Baker's Twine!

Her card base is Flirty Flamingo and the 4" X 5 1/4" CS layer is textured with the Exposed Brick embossing folder seen here. The pretty DSP is the Sale-a-Bration Bloom Impressions (now retired). The greeting & die-cuts are from the Memorable Blooms bundle seen here.

I'll share more Team swaps tomorrow!
