Sweet 16 Birthday Cards

Ideas for Making Birthday Cards

With this in mind, I've created the two cards using a soft lilac color scheme, with a dose of the complementary rose pink and a dash of bold red for contrast.

If you are to follow these card designs, simply by using different patterned papers and other color schemes, you'll achieve widely different looks for your creations.

So play around with mix-matching your papers and embellishments and enjoy your card making process.

I'll be showing the card making steps for the above card only.

Card Making Steps

1. Create a cardblank using rose pink cardstock.

2. Cut out a block of lilac patterned paper and adhere it to the top half of the cardblank.

3. Cut out a strip of purple patterned paper and adhere it across the middle of the cardblank.

4. Cut out a block of circle patterned paper and adhere it to the bottom half of the cardblank.

5. Cut out two strips of lace ribbons and attach above and underneath the purple patterned paper strip.

6. Cut out a thin strip of red cardstock. Cut one edge with scalloped-edge scissors. Attach this strip to the top of the card as shown.

7. Cut out flower layers of 3 different sizes from red cardstock, purple cardstock and cream patterned paper. Adhere the flower layers together. Attach a faux purple gem to the flower center. Attach the completed flower to the card as shown with foam dots for added dimension.

8. Handwrite birthday greetings using a black pen.
