February Birthday Cards

 

This is such an amazing card to make. I was really surprised how easy it was to make! Sam Calcott from Mixed Up Crafts does a wonderful job explaining step by step how to make this card.  I made it as a card to give to someone without the belly band but I want to make one with a belly band--it is such an amazing card to receive. You can't mail in an envelope it is more of a card to hand to someone or like, Sam, saidk as a centerpiece. I love that you can put candy or whatever in the boxes on the end. The boxes open for another surprise!!! It is the coolest card I think I have ever made!!! Thank you Sam Calcott!



This card in the box is for a minion lover! The minions are punch art made with dies from Stampin Up and also Spellbinders. So who doesn't love a minion!

Another fun card to make is this step card with a beach/nautical theme. This card along with the minion card are both easy to fold and mail in an envelope. Happy Birthdays to Tom and Sandy!!

More March Birthdays


 This is a quick post of more birthday cards. These cards are all different styles for 3 different people.  I love Elizabeth Craft's owl die. It is so adorable that I had to use it for a card. March has been a busy month for birthday cards and it seems that all the birthdays are at the beginning of the month.  


This is the first time I made this style card. It is from Mixed Up Crafts. It is called a Tiered Pop up card. Here is the link for the video https://mixedupcraft.com/2022/06/19/tiered-pop-up-cards/  Samantha does a great job of explaining this style card.  Here are more pictures of the card. I am definitely going to make more of this style card.

Happy 2020!

You're so sweet!

Since Christmas, I have been busy making birthday cards for the new year!  This one is cute one that I found on Pinterest and the tutorial is pretty easy to follow.  It uses the Stampin up Tasty Trucks which is a cute stamp set that I got last year decided to give this one a try.  The paper used is also from Stampin up. There are no dies for this stamp set so I had to fussy cut the truck but it is pretty straight forward.   Below is the back of the card and also the link for this tutorial.

       This is a fun card to make but you need to keep your plastic sheets for the mechanism inside this card. I made this for a friend who's birthday is this week and glad I got it in the mail in time.  The tutorial for this card is https://www.pinterest.com/pin/34832597105781853/ 

Have fun making these two slider cards!  Happy New Year!
