Ideas for Making Birthday Cards

Vintage Birthday Cards 1

If you're looking for vintage birthday cards, here's two vintage-inspired cards I've made.

The inspiration mainly came from the lovely vintage patterned papers that I got hold of. The first card is more old-style looking while the second card has a slightly more contemporary feel even though all the patterned papers are vintage-inspired.

I'll be listing the card making steps and supplies used for the above card only.

Enjoy making your own version of a vintage card!

Card Making Steps

1. Create a cardblank with light brown cardstock.

2. Cut out a large block of red patterned paper to fill the front cover of the cardblank.

3. Cut out a block of blue patterned paper to adhere to the lower bottom of the card.

4. Cut out a block of vintage-picture and attach it to a block of blue cardstock. Ink the edges of the blue cardstock with brown ink. Adhere this block to a bigger block of black patterned paper which has been torn on the four edges. Attach this completed tag to that card at a slight angle as shown.

5. Attach a strip of brown satin ribbon across the card as shown. Attach a white ric-rac on top of the brown satin ribbon as shown. Tie a bow ribbon with the silver lace ribbon and attach it on top of the white ric-rac.

6. Hand cut a piece of tag with kraft cardstock as shown. Handwrite greetings on this tag. Ink the edges with brown ink. Use a little gold safety pin to pin the tag to the ribbon as shown.
