Birthday card ideas you’ll want to case! Free project sheet too

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.

• 3 great ideas with the Peaceful Prints Designer Paper

  August 30, 2021

  ---

  Have you seen the Peaceful Prints designer paper?  It's in our Sale-a-Bration catalog and is free with any $50 order through September. Click here to see it. 

  This photo does not do it justice!  The colors are rich & vibrant – Black, Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Garden Green & Sahara Sand.  

  

  Our August Team swap featured all Sale-a-Bration products.  I sure love sharing what my Flowerbug's made!  These three cards all feature this fabulous designer paper. 

  Candy made this first card with the Peaceful Deer bundle. It coordinates with this free designer paper too!  

  

  She did stamp the image in the set using Red ink and punched it out. Then she added the Soft Suede antlers and a Red rhinestone. 

  Lots of details on this card:

  • Stitched Whimsy dies
  • Stitched Rectangle dies
  • Merry Melody 3D embossing folder
  • Colors are Real Red, Crumb Cake & Garden Green with White 

  Marilyn made this next card with one of my latest fun folds shared on FB Live.  It's called a Faux Pocket card. You can see the video for this fold here. 

  

  She used the Layering Circle dies and the Stitched Rectangle dies for her main pieces.  The deer on the circle is cut from the actual designer paper. The greeting is from the Time of Giving stamp set and is heat embossed with White embossing powder on Black CS. 

  This card fold might look complicated but it sure isn't!  Again, click here to see the video. 

  Next is Annette's card featuring Garden Green, Black & White

  

  Her greeting is from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set.  It's on an Everyday Label punch.  She punched a second piece in Black and cut it in half vertically to layer on the White one. Simple & beautiful!

• Summer Shadow dies & Shaded Summer; a beautiful pairing!

  August 27, 2021

  ---

  I'm sharing our Flowerbug Team swaps featuring Sale-a-Bration choices. This amazing card was  created by Paula. 

  She used the Summer Shadow dies seen here along with the Shaded Summer stamp set. This stamp set is in the Annual Catalog on page 75 and the dies are a free choice during SAB/Sale-a-Bration. However remember that these dies are expected to sell out before the end of September when SAB ends.  See them here. 

  

  This is also a fun fold card.  Her Black card is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and is scored at 2 1/8" X 4 1/4".  The front left panel is folded back.

  Look at the many layers of die-cuts she added here!  Lots of Vellum along with Polished Pink ink and Just Jade & Soft Succulent card stock & inks. Placing the die-cuts on Black really brings out the color & details. 

  
  

  The designer paper on the left panel is from the Pattern Party 12 X 12 Host paper.  It's one of the choices you get free with an order over $150; host rewards kick in at this level.  See it here or on page 171 in the Annual catalog. 

  Have a great weekend everyone!

• Unique Triangle Gate-fold card with video

  August 26, 2021

  ---

  Check out this fabulous fun fold card that shows off both sides of your Designer Paper!  

  

  I had a request to do a video for it so I featured it in this week's Stamp with Me Live on Monday night. If you aren't following me on FB here's the link to my page. 

  Here is the card made with the Peaceful Prints DSP in the Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here.  Right now it's FREE with a $50 order during Stampin' Up!'s Sale-a-Bration promotion. It coordinates with the Peaceful Deer bundle.  I punched the deer on the front panel right from this paper!  

    

  

  The card on the above right is made with the Peaceful Prints specialty DSP.  I added a few wreaths cut from the Seasonal Swirl dies – one in Black and one in Silver.  

  Watch the video below to see how it's made.  It's actually quite easy and really does showcase both sides of your 2-sided Designer Paper!
