Birthday Squares

 

Use some decorative papers and a small amount of stamped items to make this greeting card

I love using decorative papers to make a greeting card, so this weeks card is using 4 pieces from the same paper pack - a great way to ensure they go with each other!

I've used a cake stamp from 'Piece of Cake' stamp set by Stamping Up which is small enough to fit into one of the squares. I do find making cards with this stamp set a little tricky normally as they are quite small images and can get lost on a large card. However this way works perfectly.

It doesn't have to be a stamped cake image - you could use decoupage images just cut down to squares or glue on buttons or other trims to decorate the card.

Dandy Day

 

Use Lawn Fawn's Dandy Day stamp and die sets to make this 'sending wishes' greeting card

These mice are so cute - I couldn't resist making another greeting card with them. This time, I have continued using the stamps on the inside of the card too.

I'll probably use it for a birthday card but the words are also suited to many other celebrations.

If you missed my previous cards made with this stamp set, click here for a birthday card and here for a mothers day card. It's great when you can find several uses for a stamp set :)

Teacup Birthday

 

Use Lawn Fawns Stitched Teacup die set and some beautiful decorative papers to make this pretty greeting card

I'm using a teacup die again to make this weeks card but this time teaming it up with a decorative paper pack which makes colour and pattern matching so much easier.

It's a very decorative card but thats all down to the patterned paper rather than adding lots of toppers and layers. You can use the same layout theme but change the image in the circle to something that your recipient would really appreciate.

Ive made this into a birthday card but it would be lovely as an invite or to say thank you.

Butterfly Birthday

 

Make this stylish butterfly greeting card using Stampin Up's Butterfly Gala stamp and punch set

Sometimes the simplest cards have the most impact and I think this little butterfly card is just that

I've stamped butterflies but actually you could have any little stamped and die cut image and any patterned background paper
