Birthday Card

Here is one more birthday card. I am making these cards in advance and keeping them ready. Once the schools an colleges start, I will be busy with my students once again. I have to be prepared for many birthdays and other occasions now. 



Okay, now about this card- I used a cream coloured textured card stock as base.This is one layered simple fold card. I used blue glitter tape and cartoon sticker. I think they are Cinderella and Snow White. 

I made this card with a little girl in my mind. I think she may like the card with these characters. I also kept the card very simple. I don't think children may like too much fancy card. I will print out the message and attach it just before I give away the card. So I kept it blank inside.

Actually I made this card some time ago. I had very few sentiment stamps. Recently I bought some sentiment stamps. So I had to try them out.  

I stamped the "May all your dreams come true" in rainbow colours (I believe that dreams are always colourful) and Happy Birthday in blue colour. 

But since it was a textured card, the stamping was fuzzy in some places. I touched up with colour pens. Matching the right colour was a problem. But in the end I did my best.

Then I attached the crystals and pearls underneath the sentiments.

There it is. My card is ready. 

I have to make the envelopes- for many cards. I am putting it of as I am not able to find matching stationery to make them. May be I will have to settle for white in the end?

Any idea which paper to use for that? 


Materials used:

Textured cream coloured card stock
Cartoon Sticker
Blue glitter self adhesive tape
Multi coloured and Blue coloured Inks 
Self adhesive crystals/faux pearls
Sentiment Stamps



I am also making other cards and keeping them ready. I will be posting them in my future posts.
