Easy Handmade Birthday Card Ideas

Here is an easy handmade birthday card using a square shaped greeting card, pattern paper, solid paper and some various embellishments.

This card idea is perfect when you have various embellishments like buttons, ribbon, or gems.  Sometimes you might have single random pieces of decorations laying around that can be used to decorate your card. I happened to have flat heart button and ribbon.  I punched the 2 small hearts using a heart punch.  The sentiment is made from printing Happy Birthday inside a circle border.   I then cut the circle using a scallop circle punch.  You can also use a birthday stamp or sticker for your birthday sentiment.  The card is blank inside so you can create your custom message.

Another easy handmade birthday card ideas is this green card.  Use pattern paper and Solid paper to break the card up and you can either place a ribbon in the middle of the card or a solid strip of paper.  I used a border scallop punch on the bottom of this card but you can skip this step if you want to save time.  I used Martha Stewart's "Punch Around the Page, Cherish" punch to create the fancy box or shape that features the sentiment but you can buy pre-cut shapes as well.  Or a simple rectangle will do the trick.

I also had ribbon to match. I often buy supplies of ribbon on sale just so I have them handy when I make cards.
