Today, I’m thrilled to share a perfect solution for busy women who want to infuse a bit of creativity into their hectic schedules. This card uses Holiday Card Sketch 5, which is showcased in our Stampin’ Up! 2024 Holiday Mini-Catalog on page 16. (View our digital catalog here.)
To make this Birthday card even easier to create, I used the gorgeous Regal Winter Designer Paper and pulled the colors for my card from the paper. This created a clean and elegant design, which is actually one of our Color Buddy Combinations – you can learn more about our Color Buddies here.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Basic White cardstock in half to create your card base.
- Using your Paper Snips, cut off each corner from the top of the 3″ x 4-3/4″ Regal Winter Designer Paper to create your tag. Punch a hole at the top of the die and run 6″ of the Petunia Pop ribbon through the hole as shown on the sample. See the Tip below if you don’t have a hole punch. Set aside.
- Run the 3″ x 3″ Regal Winter paper through the Cut & Emboss Machine and cut out the 2-1/2″ circle using the Stylish Shapes Dies.
- Run the Fresh Freesia cardstock through the Cut & Emboss Machine and cut out 2 of the 1-1/4″ circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies.
- Adhere one of the Fresh Freesia circles to the right side of the tag as shown in the sample.
- Adhere the 2-1/2″ Regal Winter circle to the left side of the to the left side of the tag, with about 1/4″ of the circle off the left side (see sample) and overlapping the first Fresh Freesia circle. Adhere the second Fresh Freesia circle as shown in the sample.
- Adhere the Tag to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Stamp the sentiment on the 1/2″ strip of Petunia Pop cardstock using Blackberry Bliss ink. Using scissors, “flag notch” both ends of the cardstock and adhere to the front of the card using adhesive to finish.
A Tip from Barb
Don’t have a regular 1/4″ or 1/2″ office paper punch? No worries. Just cut 12″ of the Petunia Pop ribbon and tie into a bow; adhere to the top of the tag. No one will know the difference! 😀
