Birthday Cards Made Easy

Hi CutCardStock Fans! Christine joining you today to share a couple of quick (yes, really) birthday cards!

First up we have one that utilizes washi tape! To form your chevrons you will want to do the following:

1) Line up the washi tape diagonally with a top corner and go down diagonally

2) Repeat on the opposite side so that the two tapes meet

3) Trim so that they have space (lightly using a craft knife works really well) or leave no space.

4) Then do two additional chevrons below that and one above.

Embellish with a lot of a little! I have used several supplies on this one – but I have also stopped at just words!

This one is even easier! I simply used a die cut for my “Happy Birthday” words but before attaching it to my card base, I added some doilies underneath. It adds some texture and makes it more interesting than just a die cut! Once again, you could add a lot to it, or you could go simple as I did with just a few additional embellishments to bring in some color!

Thanks for stopping in today! Enjoy some more birthday inspiration next week!
