MAKING BIRTHDAY CARDS
That are Charming and Easy


Making birthday cards using a punch can spark up all kinds of different card making ideas.


Making Birthday Cards Using Colors Pink White and Black

For this card making idea, I embellished it with white ribbon and silver beads. I used Fiskars Corner Punch to round off the corners. I also used Fiskars punch for the round medalion. Using black and white pattern paper in making birthday cards is easy because this color combination coordinates well with an accent color like pink.

This can also make a great Thank You card as shown in the instructions.

Tape the white ribbon onto the white strip of paper (this helps make the ribbon opaque so you can't see the pattern paper through ribbon).

Punch out a black circle with Fiskar 2” circle puncher and punch out personalized message with the Seal of Approval punch.

If you use regular printing paper and not cardstock paper, double layer the paper for the personalized message. Using double sided tape, I tape the personalized message to a blank sheet of paper and punch both layers together. This make the message look more white and opaque.
