Card Inspiration: Happy Birthday

This interactive card design is fun & sure to delivery joy. Want to build your own? You just need to collect some paper & embellishments and meet me below where I share all the photos & measurements. Use the photos as your guide for assembly. Any coordinating product you have will work, the XL birthday gal on the front works fabulously to fill the space but a collection of smaller pieces works just as well.

This card was designed using the Age Is Just A Number Collection from Simply Stated Design. It’s bright, fun and cheerful, the perfect combo for a birthday celebration. Shop the product here.

You will need:

  • Cardstock: 7×10. Fold for your 5×7 card base. Using only the front piece of the cardstock base, cut off at an angle as seen. Start at the top left corner and cut diagonally down to the bottom right corner.
  • 2 Pattern Papers @ 4.75″ x 6.75″. Cut these both in half at an angle. One for the front panel of the card, one for the front inside panel.
  • 1 Pattern Paper @ 4.75″ x 6.75″.
  • Cardstock: 4 x 10.5″. Fold for a 4 x 5.25″ card base.
  • 2 Pattern Papers @ 3.75″ x 5″.
  • Cardstock: 3.25″ x 4.5″.
  • Embellishments.

Tip: Use 3D foam on various pieces to create dimension, just be mindful of how thick you make the inside or it won’t close up nicely.

Here’s another version using Watercolor Poppies from Simply Stated Design. The paper’s required & the measurements are exactly the same.

Happy Creating! ♥

  1. Thank you, Nadine, for sharing how-to details for this absolutely delightful, smile-making card. I love this design. So far, I’ve made two A2 sized versions (and added too much foam tape LOL) and have my sights on making more. I love this collection!!
