Handmade Birthday Card Idea
This handmade birthday card idea is cute and easy to make with polka dot paper and a satin bow. For this birthday card I used a border punch, stickers and satin ribbon.

To make a birthday card like this one, use a scallop border punch to create a frame for the sentiment. I used dark teal paper and cut it about 1/4" large than the size of the light teal paper. I then placed the dark teal paper behind the light teal paper allowing for about a 1/8" border. |
When you are using stickers to help embellish your handmade cards, use the colors on the sticker to help you coordinate the colors. I pulled the blue from the polka dot paper along with the green from the leaves of the sticker. A nice satin bow adds the finishing touch. Click here to go to instructions>>
I used my laser printer on this birthday card design and printed out the sentiment on vellum paper but you can use a stamp or adhesive letters.
If you'd like to know what border punch I used, it's Fiskars Threading Water. This punch is a good one to have in your tool box because it's versatile.

This birthday card was created using a corner punch and Martha Stewart's Punch Around the Page, Cherish. The sentiment was printed on vellum paper. The paper was layered using a tan and pink color combination. I have a few favorite punches that I like to use. And this is one of them.

For this handmade birthday card idea, I used the same border punch as the polka dot card above (Fiskars Border Punch Threading Water). The only difference is that I used it on one side of paper, on the bottom side. I embellished this card with gingham and grosgrain ribbon. The image of presents were colored in. This is pretty simle and quick card to make if you need something fast. |

Here's a birthday card that I made using a software program called E-Card Wizard. It allowed me to print out the cupcake images along with the butterfly. This makes card making a lot faster. |

This red, black and white card above features a birthday cake that I embellished with glitter and adhesive gems. You can customize the colors if you'd prefer another color other than red. Then color the cake with the color you choose. |
