Gift Shaped Birthday Cards

Hello my crafty friends

Today I'm sharing a set of Gift Shaped Birthday Cards. Two will be donated to my Mom's nursing home and the other two I will save for when our daughters need birthday cards for the grandkids to take to birthday parties.


This is an unusual colour combination for me to use, but I have to say I love it!


I made these top fold cards, which I don't normally like because of their tendency to collapse and not display nicely. To get around that I didn't cut the Gift Fold-Its on the fold, instead cutting two of the bases. I scored 1" below the top on the back piece and added adhesive ABOVE that score line. Then I joined the two pieces together. Works perfectly and these cards stand tall with no collapsing on the table.


Supplies:
Patterned paper - Back to School, Echo Park
Blue, White, Red and Yellow card stocks
Gift Fold-Its - Stephanie Barnard (The Stamps of Life)
Words inside - Papertrey Ink
Tiny tag - Scrapbook.com
Crop-o-Dile - We R Memory Keepers
Happy Birthday - MFT Stamps
