Three Birthday Candles Make This Card Shine
Sometimes the simplest designs are the most fun to make!
For this birthday card, I used the Candle Party Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up! The playful candle images give the card a festive feel without needing lots of extra decorations. The three candles draw your eye right to the center of the card, while the patterned paper adds a little extra interest.
And here’s something beginners will appreciate: Although the Candle Party Stamp Set is available with coordinating dies, I only used the stamps for this project. You don’t need the dies to make a cute birthday card!
A Cheerful Color Combination for Birthday Cards
One of the things I love about this color combination is how happy it feels! The soft blues and purples give the card a playful look, while the lighter accents keep everything feeling fresh. It’s a great combination when you want a birthday card that’s cheerful without being too bright or busy.
And don’t be afraid to experiment with the colors you already have. The same candle design could look completely different with another combination!

Supplies Used to Make This Birthday Card
I’ve listed the supplies I used for this project below so you can find everything in one place. The Candle Party Stamp Set is the star of this project. There’s also a coordinating Candle Party Bundle available, but remember, I only used the stamp set for this card.
It’s a Two-Step Stampin’ set, which means you can layer stamped images to add extra color and detail.
One more little perk while you’re shopping. Each month there’s a Product of the Month you can add for just $5 when your order reaches $75. It’s a fun surprise that’s not in the catalog and only available while supplies last. Click To Learn More

- Wishing you a wonderful birthday and a year full of happy surprises.
