Summer Birthday Cards

Leave a Comment

Happy almost-summer, Pebbles friends! I don’t know about you, but it seems like as soon as the final school bell rings, the birthday parties begin! Summer seems to be filled with birthday celebrations for both family and friends, so it’s always nice to have a stash of summertime birthday cards ready to go! I had so much fun working with the “Oh Summertime” collection to whip up a set of cards to add to my stash!

I created both cards using the same steps, but with different papers. I started by cutting out the word “Birthday” from solid red and yellow papers.

Next, I cut a coordinating 2×2 square for each card, from the page filled with fun and colorful images and words.

I layered the printed 2×2 square with additional 2×2 squares I cut from other coordinating papers.

I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to use the awesome shaker stickers on these cards!

With a few simple additions, like tying a white string and matting with a coordinating solid, these cards were quick and easy to create!

Birthday Cards | Happy Hooray

Hip, hip, hooray everyone!  Heather Leopard is here and not only does October bring cooler weather for us here in Texas but it’s also birthday season for my family.  I love making fun cards and a fun birthday card is probably my most favorite to create.

Gather your supplies

You’ll need your favorite expressions cut to size from patterned paper, and the awesome embellishments (hello, enamel confetti!) from the Happy Hooray collection plus card bases cut to 8.5″ x 11″.  You can download my Silhouette template for card bases and the die cut words HERE.

Let’s get started with birthday card #1

Birthday Card set by @heatherleopard using @PebblesInc #HappyHooray collection #madewithpebbles #birthday #happybirthday #birthdaycard #birthdaycards

Fold your card base in half so it measures 4.25″ x 5.5″. Cut the words from my cut file found HERE and arrange them as shown in the photos.  Using matching washi, add some washi banner pennants and then place the large die cut sentiment from the Happy Hooray collection over the washi using foam dots, so that the pennants stick out from the die cut.

Add additional embellishments and enamel confetti for a fun and festive look.

Birthday Card #2

Wanting to wish someone a very happy birthday?  Get your point across with birthday overload.  To create this, fold your card base in half and place it in landscape / horizontal in front of you.  Add the chipboard “HAPPY” banner across the top.  Using that awesome washi again, run a strip across and under the banner to create a border.  Then, cut the words “happy” from the repeat stickers in the collection. Just cut it right down the middle so that you have the words “birthday” remaining.

Find the center of your card and add 5 birthdays stacked evenly on top of each other.  I kept the stickers on the backing and was able to easily peel from the side and adhere all 5 on at the same time.  Easy breezy.  Next, add the words to the right and left, leaving an even gap in the middle.  Lastly, fill the gap with candles.  Add embellishments as you wish.

Now my birthday cards are complete and I’m ready to celebrate!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Adding Journaling spots to Cards

Get ready to make easy journaling spots to include and display on your next set of cards created by @leanne_allinson for @PebblesInc. #warmandcozy #woodlandforest

Hello Friends! It’s Leanne here today and I’m sharing a fun idea to help you get more out of a simple greeting card. This week on the blog we have been sharing journaling ideas with all of our projects and I thought, where else should you spend a little extra time composing a special message, if not on inside of a handmade card!

These cute cards can stand supporting themselves, and display your message, all in one. The base cardstock is where the magic begins! One piece of 12”x12” cardstock will create two card bases. Start by trimming the cardstock into three 4”x12” strips. Cut the third cardstock strip in half at the 4”x6” mark.

To create one card base, fold the 4”x12” cardstock strip at 3” and again at 6”. Use the 4”x6” trimmed cardstock piece as the front of your card.

When creating these cards, I wanted to emphasise the journaling aspect and so I chose patterned papers with words or newsprint to create the backdrop on the card base. The paper was trimmed to 3.75”x5.75”. I added ink to the edges and machine stitched a border directly to the paper before adhering it to the cardstock.

The same principle was applied to the folded cardstock base.

On this first card, I’ve created my own journaling spot with extra cardstock and a few layers of patterned paper. Fussy cut leaves and flowers were added to the lower edge of the journaling spot, to help draw attention to your message.

To assemble the card, add adhesive to the reverse side of the top fold only.

Align the bottom of the 4”x6” card front to the bottom edge of the reverse side of folded card base. By adding adhesive to this section only, it allows the card to stand and display your message.

My second card has been created in a similar fashion.

The twist with this one however, is with the pocket insert found on the inside.

Pebbles_LeanneAllinson_September Cards_thankful 4

The pocket is created by trimming the newsprint patterned paper to 3.5”x4.75” and punching a circle notch at the top edge. This piece of paper is then sewn directly to the 3.75”x5.75” layer below it, before both pieces of paper are then adhered to the cardstock base.

Thanks for visiting today. I hope you enjoy making your next set of cards extra special with just the right touch of journaling inside them.

Perfect Parties Cards

Hello. Amy here today from The Happy Scraps. I’m excited to be here today sharing these cards with you. I got out the brand new Spring Fling collection to put these together, and I think I’m hooked! The combination of the Kraft colors + the pink, yellow, green, white, etc., is just perfect! Today I’m sharing these cards with you that would be perfect for any party or celebration that you have coming up. Birthday, Wedding, etc., the Spring Fling collection is perfect.

The @pebblesinc #SpringFling collection is the perfect collection to help you celebrate any occasion. Here are several ideas from @thehappyscraps.

The entire Spring Fling collection is bursting at the seams with cuteness. I picked out some of the papers and embellishments that I thought I might use when I sat down to make these cards.

The @pebblesinc #SpringFling collection is the perfect collection to help you celebrate any occasion. Here are several ideas from @thehappyscraps.

I picked out the Scattered Daisies paper and used the back of it for the base of my first card. I also found the gold foiled flags in the pack of printed cardstock and vellum shapes. I pulled out some brown ink, and inked the edges of the white card base, as well as the pieces I was adding to the front.

I adhered the pretty back side of the Scattered Daisies to the front of my card.

I used some light colored twine and tied a bow on the top of this piece.

Then I attached it to the card.

I found this cute mason jar in the pack of printed cardstock and vellum shapes as well. I pulled out the Spring Fling Puffy Stickers and found a flower that matched. I placed it over the top of the printed flower to give it more dimension. Then I trimmed a couple of the flower leaves from the puffy stickers, to match the leaves as well. I attached this to the front of the pink polka dotted flag with some dimensional adhesive squares.

This is how the card turned out. It could be used to congratulate a newly wed couple, or given for a birthday card, or anything else that would be considered the “best day ever”. I love what the gold foil adds to this fun card!

For the next card, I picked out the Spring Fling Patchwork paper. I trimmed a piece for the front of my card, then inked the edges with brown ink.

Using one of the cards I cut from the Spring Fling paper with foil accents, I rounded the corners with my corner chomper. I inked the edges of this pretty cupcake card as well.

From the Spring Fling From Me to You paper, I cut out this “Happy Birthday” flag. I trimmed the end slightly so it would fit on my card.

I rounded the corners on one end of this, then inked the edges as well. I love how inking the edges can add just that little bit of extra to cards! I tied a pink twine bow around the end of the flag, then attached it to the card with dimensional adhesive squares. I also used dimensional adhesive squares to attach the cupcake card as well.

While this card may be a little more simple, I think it is stunning. The gold foil on the base of the cupcake really adds to it as well. I can’t wait to give this to someone for their birthday!

For this last card, I had so much fun putting it together. I used the Spring Fling Party Time paper for the base, and Spring Fling Celebration for the smaller pink piece on the card. I inked the edges again for this one as well.

I attached the pieces to the card, placing the pink piece in the lower right corner.

I grabbed a gold chevron paper straw from my stash and placed the Congratulations flag on it from the Spring Fling accent stickers pack.

In the pack printed cardstock and vellum shapes I found these adorable giraffes. I place dimensional adhesive squares on the back of them, and the placed them on the front of the card. Then attached the congratulations flag on the card as well.
