Five Bright Square Birthday Cards

Hello my crafty friends

I have had this package of patterned square cards for years. I love getting out older product and using them for birthday cards to donate to my Mom's nursing home. These ones are 5-1/2" square and come with white square envelopes. Because they are being hand delivered at the nursing home, there is no concern about bulk or extra postage for a square envelope. I chose one card in each colour and got to work.

Using a stitched scalloped border die by Karen Burniston I cut the bottom front edge, then added a black card stock strip inside to show through when the card is closed.

Lynda Kanase's Spring Things die set has lots of perfect little dies, so I used layered flowers, greenery and a butterfly for four of the cards.  I added a bird & greenery from the same die set on the fifth card for something different. The Birthday Wishes stamp and Stitched Fishtail Banner are from Your Next Stamp, as are the Gum Drops.

Here is a peek at the inside:
