Today, I’m thrilled to share a perfect solution for busy women who want to infuse a bit of creativity into their hectic schedules. I’ll show you how to whip up quick and elegant birthday cards that look anything but rushed.
This card uses Card Sketch 2, which is showcased in our Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog on page 22. (View our digital catalog here.)
To make this Happy Birthday card even easier to create, I used the To Market Designer Paper and pulled the colors for my card from the paper. This created a clean and elegant design.
To finish off the card, I used one of the sentiments from the versatile Simply Said Stamp Set and added some Peach Pie ribbon to add an elegant finishing touch.

A Tip from Barb
This is the perfect card sketch for whenever you have some pretty paper you’d like to use! Just grab 2-3 colors from the paper you want to use and pull your coordinating cardstock, inks and any embellishments you’d like!
If you have any issues adhering the ribbon to the card, I find folding it into 3 equal folds to make your “z” pattern, and then adhere to the card with a bit of scotch tape works great – just make sure the scotch tape is less than an inch long so that it’s hidden by the sentiment strip!😊
