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.

Field & Flower Mystery Card

February 10, 2021

I am holding a mystery card challenge with me Team. I send them a variety of pieces in a card base and challenge them to use them to create a card. They can cut up or punch, or add anything to create an original card.

This week I'm sharing a few projects with the pretty Field & Flower DSP (seen here) from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's currently free with any $50 order US.

Here is what I came up with for my Mystery card:

In their packet I added a White card base, a large piece of Flower & Field designer series paper, a strip of Bumblebee CS, punched Black & white pieces and some Bumblebee ribbon. I decided to add a few stitched flowers from the Pierced Bloom dies (seen here). Look at this amazing stitching!

The Black center is from the Perennial Petal dies (seen here) however. I love that cute die! The greeting is from the Happy Thoughts stamp set.

To create this angled piece I started with a 4" X 4 1/4" piece of designer paper and just cut it in half on the diagonal. It really doesn't matter what your angle is. Then I added a strip of Bumblebee CS underneath the diagonal cut. So easy!

Quick cards with the Field & Flower DSP & In Color cards & envelopes

February 9, 2021

Have you noticed our In Color cards & envelopes? They're called Flowers for Every Season Memories & More cards & envelopes; whew! That's a long name, right?! See them on page 154 of the annual catalog or click here. They're larger than our average card at 4 1/4" X 6 1/4" and come with 10 printed cards and envelopes. All for $11 and in our pretty 2020-22 In Colors.

This week I'm sharing cards made with this beautiful Flower & Field DSP; it's free with any $50 order in February during Sale-a-Bration. See it here.

Here I added a piece of the Flower & Field DSP measuring 3" X 4" to these pretty cards. Then a layered greeting and a punched flower. So easy, but aren't they cute?!

I used a few of our Pick a Banner punches for the White 1" strip and the Blossom punch for the flower. I added a vellum piece underneath punched with the Story Label punch. The greeting is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.
