DIY birthday card with pinwheels

Materials:

• Recollections Value Pack cards and envelopes set 5″ x 6.5″ (kraft) [Michaels]
• Recollections Craft It 4-piece pinwheels [Michaels]
• Doodlebug Design square sequins (Halloween assortment)
• Light blue card stock
• White card stock
• Elmer’s Craft Bond Tacky Glue 4 fl oz
• MS Word, printer ink,
• paper cutter, scissors

OrganizationLove Pro Tips:

• I cut out everything and then glued it on in the following order: white card stock (sticks), happy birthday, pinwheels (actually a sticker), sequins. This way everything was layered the way I wanted it to be.
• I used liquid glue, but had to wipe up excess around the sequins and in the sequin hole – I just used my finger to get the excess
• As always, I placed everything down where I wanted it before gluing

• Recollections Basic Bold 12″ x 12″ paper pad [Michaels]
• Recollections 1 7/16″ heart punch (blue one) [Michaels]

• green Sharpie
• MS Word WordArt, printer, green ink
• glue stick

OrganizationLove Pro Tips:

• I glued down all of the hearts first, before gluing on the yellow circle
• I chose purple patterns, but the paper pad has all kinds of colors – you could also choose black and white, rainbow, or any other color scheme
• I draw on the stem, but I do it in pencil first and then trace over with green Sharpie

Caption Ideas:

• Because there are already words on the front of the card, outer captions are not necessary

• Inside notes:
  • Just saying hi
  • Have a great day
  • Love you

DIY cupcake birthday card for girls

Materials: 

• The Paper Studio value pack ivory notecard/envelope 4″x5.5″ [Michaels]
• MS Word, printer, black ink
• scalloped scissors
• The Paper Studio “La Petites” 3-D cupcake stickers (6 piece) [Hobby Lobby]

OrganizationLove Pro Tips:

• I chose to arrange the stickers at an angle as opposed to right next to each other to take up more space as well as account for imperfections
• Instead of pairing same color cupcake wrappers, I made sure each card had a brown icing cupcake and a white icing cupcake

Caption Ideas:

• Because there are already words on the front of the card, outer captions are not necessary

• Inside notes:
  • Yum!
  • Don’t forget to share!
  • Happy birthday
  • Enjoy your day
  • Have a great day
