Happy Birthday to You Greeting Card

  Hello friends.  Today I'm sharing a birthday card I made for a sweet friend.  It's embellished with some lovely ribbons and mulberry flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the digital sentiments are from Bonnie Garby Designs. 

I created a 5-1/2" square card with a few layers. My digital sentiment from our sister company Bonnie Garby Designs is my main focal point.  I ran a piece of regal purple Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon topped with Crosshatch on Turquoise Satin Ribbon across the center of the card under the sentiment.  I added some pretty turquoise Sweetheart Blossoms under the sentiment panel.

The sentiments I used on my card today came from the Birthday Greetings 2 Digital Stamp Bundle along with the Birthday Sentiments for the Inside Bundle which I used for the interior sentiment. The background for the card was created using the Delicate Woven Overlay SVG Cut File Bundle.

Our sister company 'Bonnie Garby Designs' is offering a large variety of digital sentiment stamps and svg files.  Below are the digital stamp bundles I used on my card today.

Eat Cake Fun Fold Card

Hello crafty friends, and Happy Thursday to you all! Cheryl here today with a fun fold Birthday card to share that Ive created for Really Reasonable Ribbon and KaDoodle Bug Designs. I used the Beautiful Satin ribbon for my bows in two different sizes. 

So my card today I designed using 6" x 12" pink card stock and scored at 6" and then 9" and then fold the 6" valley, and 9" mountain fold. Next I cut another piece of pink card stock that measures 5" wide, and 6" tall. that will be the front of the card. Then decorate. I used the darling Unicorn from KaDoodle Bug Designs and added a different muzzle and different eyes from another SVG from KaDoodle Bug. I use the matching tag and then some beautiful Satin Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon , 5/8" and 3/8" Pink , to put my card together I used foam tabs & scor-tape , and then foam dots. For the pink dew drops I used Robins Nest Dew drops. Ooo don't forget the sewing, I just had to add that too. 

 

Clean and Simple and FLAT for Mailing Birthday Card

Hello friends.  This card is different from my usual style, but sometimes I need a pretty birthday card that I can mail in a regular envelope.  This one fits the bill and it's embellished with my favorite ribbon and burlap string from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I created a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" top fold card with minimal layers. My digital sentiment from our sister company Bonnie Garby Designs is my main focal point.  I ran a piece of Delicate Stitched Satin down the left side of the card and wrapped some contrasting burlap sting across the middle under the sentiment.  This is a great way to use up all those ribbon and trim 'bits and bobs'.

I finished of the inside of my card with the Birthday Greetings 2 'For the Inside' Digital Stamp Bundle.

Our sister company 'Bonnie Garby Designs' is offering a large variety of digital sentiment stamps and svg files.  Below are the two sets I used on my card today.  This Birthday Greetings 2 set also works well for foiling.

Go On and Celebrate!

Hello, everyone! It is Gloria with you again! Well, it is almost a new year! Time to say good-bye to the old year and celebrate the new!

To celebrate, I decided to make a birthday card, which I will send to someone in 2023!

I made a slimline card that measures 4" x 9", which should just fit into a #10 (business-sized) envelope. I think next time I will make my slimline just a tiny bit...slimmer! 

I once again pulled some paper out of my stash which was still sealed up in plastic...a collection from Echo Park circa 2016! I mean...really, who does this?! Me apparently! 

I used more ribbon from the December Ribbon Club. I used some 5/8" Mineral Ice Taffeta (of which I need more!), and 3/8" Turquoise Satin Swiss Dots. 

I created the sentiment circle by embossing the sentiments with some gold toned embossing powder. I added some enamel dots and a button to look like...cupcake sprinkles. 

I also decorated the inside of the card. There is still room to write a message and to add a gift card!

My oldest brother has a birthday on January 1st, but I am not going to send this card to him...maybe I wills send him something a little more for an avid outdoorsman! {smile}

Thank you so much for joining me today!

Best Wishes

Hello, again everyone! It is Gloria with you again! I had a bit of fun with the hot, tropical, June Ribbon Club - Jungle Fun Assortment! 

I was going to put this ribbon assortment away, but then I decided that I would make one more card with it before I moved on to the July Ribbon Club. I had a few short bits of the Watermelon Delicate Stitched Satin and the Toucan on White Satin that were not long enough to make a bow, but too long to feel good about tossing in the trash. I really don't like keeping every bit and scrap because I have so much ribbon! But I do hate to toss those 6"-10" bits!

I also had on my desk two cards that I had made a long time ago using some paper strips. I thought...hey, why not remake one of those cards, but using ribbon instead of strips of paper?!?

I created a 5" x 6" card from black cardstock. Then, I cut a piece of kraft cardstock to slightly smaller than 5" x 5" and added some Scor-tape to the back so that I could wrap short lengths of ribbon around the cardstock panel and secure them. I just alternated the ribbons: Watermelon Delicate Stitched Satin, Toucan on White Satin, Turftan Taffeta, Iguana on Branch White Satin, Watermelon Delicate Stitched Satin, Yellow Gold Plaid, Toucan on White Satin, and Moss Plaid. (And I wish I had eliminated the brown ribbon, but, oh well.)

Once all the ribbon was attached, I added more Scor-tape and attached the whole panel to the card front. I then cut another piece of the kraft cardstock to slightly smaller than 1" x 5" and stamped the sentiment with black ink onto the left edge. 

I created a bow from the Moss Plaid and added lots of flowers (see list of flowers below). The leaves are hand colored with water-based markers! I used the White Paper Leaves and colorized them! To color the leaves, I first spritzed each leaf with a bit of water. Then I scribbled on them with various water markers. Once I had lots of color, I used a water brush to smoosh the color around. I dried the leaves with a heat tool. 

I finished the card by adding a few enamel dots here and there. I think this a great way to use leftover bits of ribbon! 

Thank you so much for stopping by!
