Celebrate Today birthday cards – Crafty Concepts with Erin

I have some more birthday cards for you today! I was completely inspired by the “Celebrate Today” paper collection. It is so fun and vibrant it just makes you think confetti and cake sprinkles, and who doesn’t love that?

I always find it easier to watch a project in action rather than read the directions. So if your like me I recommend watching the YouTube tutorial to see this project come together. You can check it out below.

Recipe for card #1:

Begin with a blank white card and envelope from the value pack
Adhere Ballerina cardstock piece (5.25″ x 4″)
Trim the sprinkled patterned paper to 5 x 3.75″ and layer onto Ballerina as shown
Trim your banner piece to 3.5 x 1.5″ and dovetail one end.
Run a piece of White Daisy cardstock through your die-cutting machine with the medium-sized Stitched Rectangle Frame thin cut.
Stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment as shown in Black ink
Wrap twine around the bottom of your sentiment 3 times and tie a bow
Using the Balloons from the coordinating sticker sheet, attach to card face with foam adhesive.
Send to a friend to make their birthday special!

Recipe for Card #2

Begin with a blank white card and envelope from the value pack
Adhere Mint cardstock piece (5.25″ x 4″)
Using the Pixie patterned paper from the collection, cut a piece with the largest Stitched Rectangle Die and layer over Mint
Cut 3 circles from your scraps of patterned paper. Since its a collection, they are all likely to look great! I used the 2 middle-sized Stitched circle thin cuts.
Cut Mint cardstock with the large Stitched Bracket Thin Cut
Stamp your sentiment onto White Daisy cardstock. Here I used retired stamps from my stash. I’m willing to bet you have some birthday stamps lurking around somewhere.
The candle strip is cut from the info strip at the end of the 12×12 paper.
Adhere all pieces as shown
Add sequence with micro glue dots
Enjoy!!!

Recipe For Card #3:

This card is my favorite because let’s face it, who doesn’t love shaker cards?
Trim your background paper to 5.25 x 4″
Cut a 2 x 5″ strip from the floral patterned paper, dovetail one end and attach centered on your card front.
Using the shaker window die cut a circle from White Daisy cardstock.
Attach circle to the card, apply foam dimensional ring and fill with sequence.
Layer your acetate circle and then finish off with the Happy Birthday Thin cut in Ballerina.
I fussy cut the yellow flower from the patterned paper however there is a coordinating stamp set with dies available.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Leave me a comment to say hello and let me know what you think of the cards. Happy crafting my friends!
