Happy Birthday Cards

You always need a good birthday card – it seems like every week I have a friend or family member’s birthday to celebrate.   When you are feeling crafty and have some time, jump into your craft space and create a whole bunch of them.    Then store the handmade birthday cards in your desk so they’re ready when you need to send one out or bring to a party.   That way you aren’t creating them last minute.   Our design team member Regina Mangum has some ideas to inspire us when creating!

Here she used the cupcake from PSA Cupcake and the sentiment “Skip the cake and eat the icing” from PSA Dare to Dream.   I also spy the UBU girl holding a balloon from UBU Girls Got Game.    She used three of our stamp packs in one card!    The lime and pink are a great color combination and she made everything come to life by coloring things up with her markers. 

Up next, she used the dog from PSA Little Bunny.   I love the colorful polka dots and the twine from The Twinery here.   This is happy card, isn’t it?

Next she used all 9 of our cupcakes from PSA Whimsy Cakes.  She “decorated” each cupcake with her markers.   These stamps really are the focus of your attention on this card. 

Do you love these cards and want to create them at home?   Here are all the supplies she used so you can get started.  Happy card making!
