Hello and Happy New Year! It’s Amy here bringing 2017 and maybe resolutions? I don’t make them because I’m not good at keeping them. But I do like to give myself some goals and one of them is to design more birthday cards like this one using 3D Foam Squares to create a bit of dimension.
I’m also trying to make my designs gender neutral for versatility and it keeps down on the embellishments for ease of mailing.
Making the Birthday Card
Here’s a peek at my supplies:
The middle panel, the solid layer, is on 3D Foam Squares White Regular for added interest. I love the mix of fonts so that although it is a clean and simple design, the sentiment adds a bit of fancy to everything.
The E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser is a staple of mine in crafting. It’s just the right size to not get lost on my desk but it isn’t too big to handle (or refill!). It refills with a drop in cartridge, and it has 150 feet of adhesive!
Thanks so much for stoppin’ by! If you’re interested, I have a completely different birthday card up on my blog today too!

My resolution is to craft ahead. I would like to have a stockpile of cards to pull from instead of scrambling to make something at the last minute.

This is beautiful in its simplicity. The raised panel really adds so much to the card.

Starting ahead in time is a good idea, and something I don’t do often :). Great design and very functional with all the options for gender, mail friendly…
