Easy Happy Birthday Card in Soft Colors

This simple birthday card combines soft colors, clean layers, and a touch of floral paper for an easy design anyone can make. It’s a sweet, beginner friendly project that works for any occasion when you want something quick, pretty, and heartfelt.

Supplies Needed
  

  • Soft Sea Foam Cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored at 4-1/4"
  • Basic White Cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4"
  • Traditions of Christmas Specialty Paper: 4" x 5-1/4"
  • Bubble Bath Cardstock: 1-1/4" x 5-1/4" (2 pieces)

Instructions
 

  • Fold the Soft Sea Foam cardstock in half at the score line to create your card base.
  • Adhere the Basic White cardstock inside the card. Decorate as desired.
  • Adhere the Traditions of Christmas Specialty Paper to the front of the card.
  • Using one of the 1-1/4" x 5-1/4" pieces of Bubble Bath cardstock, stamp the sentiment from the Simply Said Stamp Set onto the left side using Cherry Cobbler ink. Stamp the berries to the left of the sentiment using the same ink. Stamp the small "leaves" onto the berries using Soft Sea Foam Ink. See sample for placement.
  • Adhere both of the pieces of Bubble Bath cardstock so that they line up at the Traditions of Christmas Specialty Paper at the top, bottom and sides. See sample for placement.
