Birthday Card with Free Balloon Die by Jennifer Jackson

Happy Birthday!

Hello! Jen here today to share a quick and simple birthday card using some of our newest products! Plus, this card features the cute Mini Balloon Die that you can get free with any purchase in our shop (while supplies last). 

To start out creating this card I looked through our Birthday Time Paper Pad and chose couple of patterns to use. I used our new Card Layout 4 Die and cut it out 4 times, twice using the patterned papers, once using a white cardstock and once using a pink cardstock. I then chose which pieces to put where and assembled it onto a light blue card base. 

I added the sentiment using our Happy Birthday Die Set. I cut the words from white paper and the shadow layer from a slightly darker pink than the frame.

Next, I cut out three balloons using the Mini Balloon Die using cardstock colors that matched the patterned paper. 

To finish I adhered Happy Birthday Sentiment and the balloons to my card. This was such a quick and easy birthday card to create! The die cuts and papers make it a breeze! 

I hope you enjoyed this project today! And don't forget, you can get that  Mini Balloon Die for free with any purchase right now in our shop (while supplies last)! 

Birthday Postage Sampler Card by Larissa Heskett

Celebrate a Birthday!

Today we are sharing a cheerful birthday card by Larissa using our newest birthday themed products! 

She starts out by die cutting the fun background panel using our Card Layout 3 Die Set and Birthday Time Paper Pad. She used the die to cut out the same shape from several different pages of the patterned paper and then arranged them inside the outer frame to create a fun and colorful birthday themed background! 

Next she stamped and colored the cute little cupcake using the Birthday Postage Sampler Stamp Set. She layered the cupcake onto a postage stamp that was cut out using our Postage Stamp Layout Die Set. This die set creates a whole panel of postage stamps but you can cut them apart to use them as individual stamps and that is what Larissa did for her card today! She added the cupcake along with the word celebrate and the five cents from the Birthday Postage Sampler Stamp Set. 

Behind the cupcake stamp she created a cute little shaker shape using small rounded rectangles that were cut out from iridescent vellum using our Basic Frames Die Set. She created a pocket with the two rectangles, added sparkly shapes inside and stitched the edges. What a fun way to add a special touch to the birthday card! 

We hope this project has given you some ideas on how to add some fun and sparkle to make a birthday card feel special!

Dog Birthday Party Tags by Diane Morales

Birthday Tags!! 

Make a birthday gift special by adding a custom gift tag! Today we are sharing a duo of tags by Diane using our our Dog Birthday Party Stamp Set and Birthday Time Paper Pad. 

She started by coloring those cute little puppies from the Dog Birthday Party Stamp Set, using colors that went with the Birthday Time Paper Pad. She cut the pups out using the coordinating Dog Birthday Party Die Set before creating her tags. 

Next, she chose papers from the Birthday Time Paper Pad and cut out two notched rectangles using the Basic Frames Die Set and two circles using the Circle Frames Die Set. She layered these shapes to create her tags, punching a small hole into the top of each rectangle and adding some baker's twine.

She added the cute pups onto the patterned circles using dimensional adhesive and added a couple of white epoxy dots for a finishing touch.

These sweet little tags would be perfect for adding onto a gift, especially if the recipient is a dog lover!

We hope this project inspires you to create some shaped tags with our cute little birthday images!
