Green Yellow Birthday Card

Ideas for Making Birthday Cards

Green Yellow Birthday Card is part of the collection of birthday card ideas found on this site. It's based on my card sketch no. 4 with some slight variations.

Once again, one sketch can create a variety of looks for your cards. I didn't follow the sketch to a tee and yet the results achieved are pleasing.

I've used paper tearing to add a more textured look to the card. It also helps that I've added dimensions to the layered paper flower using foam pads.

Don't you think green and yellow colors do make a refreshing color scheme for a happy birthday card?

Why don't you try out this sketch or the color scheme and see what you can come up with? Have fun!

Card Making Steps

1. Create a card blank with green cardstock.

2. Tear out a block of yellow cardstock and adhere it to the center of the cardblank.

3. Cut out a block of swirl patterned paper and adhere it across the middle of the yellow cardstock.

4. Cut out a strip of red cardstock and trim one edge with scallop-edged scissors. Attach it across the top edge of the swirl patterned paper.

5. Cut out a piece of black flower with a flower template. Cut out a piece of black and white patterned paper flower with a flower template. Punch out a black circle from the black cardstock. Piece the flower pieces together with foam pads for added dimension. Attach a clear button to the center of the black circle. Attach the completed flower to the center of the card.

6. Handwrite greetings on a strip of black cardstock using a white pen. Attach it across the middle of the lower part of the yellow block.
