Kids Birthday Cards

Ideas for Making Birthday Cards

Once again, for this project I'm following a card sketch by Jennifer Gormly and it can be found in her 50 Card Making Sketches e-book, under #16 "Moments". Other than a few slight variations, I've followed the sketch quite closely. Following a sketch helps to save me time on planning the arrangement for a card, and concentrate on pulling together papers and embellishments that work harmoniously.

Card Making Steps

1. Create a cardblank using white cardstock.

2. Cut out a block of green cardstock and adhere it to the center of cardblank.

3. Cut out a smaller block of pink cardstock and adhere it atop the green cardstock.

4. Cut out a broad strip of white cardstock that is of the same height as the green cardstock and adhere it to the left of the card.

5. Attach a cute Strawberry Shortcake sticker on the broad white strip. Use a black pen to doodle faux stitches along the border.

6. Hand-cut number "2" from yellow cardstock using an alphabet stencil. Attach it to a red block of cardstock. Attach the completed tag to the right lower corner of the card. Use a black pen to handwrite birthday greetings on the card as shown.
