Birthday Celebration Cards Step Outs

Start by stamping a birthday design on cardstock and adding color to it with markers or ink. Then die-cut it out with a circle die. Next, die-cut a second circle, a slightly smaller circle size die, from 3D Foam Creative Sheet Medium.
By the way, if you don’t have a cute birthday circle stamp to use, try creating your own design by mixing together small birthday images or using patterned paper instead.

Stamp, color in, and die-cut a couple of birthday-themed images to place on your circle. Cut a few additional blank shapes to stack up and adhere to the back of your stamped images. This will give them a subtle dimension.

Mount the images onto your circle and then the foam circle behind it. Set it aside.

Stamp, color in, and die-cut two more large circles. Dry emboss a pattern on white cardstock. Mount it an A2 card and then add those two circles to it.

Place your first stamped circle in the middle and over the two other circles. Tie twine around the middle circle, adding a bow at the top side.

Stamp a sentiment on a strip of cardstock. Mount it to your card with foam strips. Complete your card by adding a sequin or gem to the circle.

Change Up Your Card Design

Try making a similar birthday card by using only one big circle on it.

To “fill out” your card design, add some sequins or gems around the circle and sentiment strip. You could even use buttons if you wanted!
