I can’t believe it, but I’m ahead of the game!  This is a birthday card for my sister, whose birthday is in December!  Of course, I may make others I like more between now and then, but I’m pretty happy with this one. Butterfly Basics is a beautiful, feminine set, and lends itself well to […]

DIY Birthday Cards – Happy Birthday Everyone

I like clean and simple DIY birthday cards, and this one sure is!  You could even leave off the back layer if you wanted, I thought it still looked great. The designer paper patterns are from the Neutrals Color Collection Paper Stack.  The super sweet stamps came from the Hostess set Happy Birthday Everyone, and […]

I got the bug to create a birthday shaker card today.  Stampin’ Up! has these awesome Shaker Frames, and you can make a lot of cards with what comes in the package.  Of course they’re circles and, as you can see, my card is using a square.  So I just took the circles and cut […]

Typeset DIY Birthday Cards

Whip up some quick DIY birthday cards with a little Typeset Designer Paper and your choice of birthday sayings.

I mounted the patterned paper and the birthday greeting on […]

Card Folding Techniques: Screen Card

I love different card folding techniques.  They look hard and complex, but usually are quite easy to achieve.  This card was super fast to make, and I think it’s super cute! If you’re using a border punch along the top that will actually remove the edge of the card stock, you can start with a […]
