NEW Fabulous Birthday Card Bundle!

I am always looking for a fun and easy birthday card to put together for a friend or family member, so this week I designed a new bundle of 10 birthday cards. It’s called the FABULOUS BIRTHDAY CARD BUNDLE I am working on a video today that will show them off and help with assembly. The video will be posted later today. I’ll send out a link tomorrow morning. Take a peek at how much fun they are….

You’re One Cool Dad Happy Birthday

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a very cool card card to share with you! This is the Cooler With Drinks (Lori’s SVG Shop, Silhouette) card that folds flat for easy mailing. It was part of the Father’s Day card set but Dad may just deserve a beer on his birthday too!

I love the sentiment on this one but wanted to make this a birthday card for my hubby. I highlighted and deleted the “Happy Father’s Day” part of it and left it blank. Then I made a print and cut of the sentiment along with a Happy Birthday banner from one of the Box Card Envelope files.

Then I adhered the happy birthday banner over the blank space of the cooler sentiment piece. It turned out amazing and he loved it! Always think outside the box to see how you can manipulate a file or add to a file to turn it into what you need.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Birthday Hat Gift Set

Hello crafty friends! Aimee here with you today and I’m bringing you a fun and crafty way to celebrate a birthday. Lori has new matching Library Pocket Cards and Gift Boxes that have the cutest images for different occasions. My project for a birthday is the Gift Box Birthday Hat (Lori’s SVG Shop, Sihouette) and the Library Pocket Card Birthday Hat (Lori’s SVG Shop, Silhouette).

You could make this birthday duo fit anyone’s birthday according to which papers you used. I used some summery and tropical colors for mine because I have a family birthday coming up soon but this could easily be pink for a girl’s birthday or navy and maroon for a Dad birthday.  The card insert is done using the print and cut feature of your machine.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! And I hope you enjoy this birthday idea and that it gets you to thinking about matching gift sets that you may need in the near future. Check out all of the different images that Lori has created for us! Have a great day!

Custom Tumblers and Tag

For the last couple of years, I have helped make or prepare birthday gifts for the ladies at my church.  Last year I featured a tag from Lori Whitlock. Two years ago, I made a postcard for the gifts. I am so excited about this year’s gift.  We are giving the cutest tumblers personalized with an initial.  I am using a Circle Flourish Monogram for the tumblers, and I am using a sticker from the Birthday Stickers (svg, silhouette) for the the little card tag.

To alter this sticker, I’m going to give you a few tips.  In Cricut Design Space you will first upload and open the Sticker File.  Upload as an image.

Ungroup the stickers. I deleted all the stickers I am not using from the canvas.

Now ungroup again. Select each layer and adjust color as you would like.  I wanted to also have the Happy Birthday to you be different colors.

 

Now select Happy Birthday and duplicate twice. Select one of the duplicated Happy Birthday, and Contour.

On this one, I am hiding all the words except for Birthday.

Select the other Happy Birthday.  On this one I hid everything except for the flourish at the bottom.

Recolor these Happy Birthday layers by choosing a color that is next to the Line type box.  Now line up all those Happy Birthday words.

Select all your layers, and click Flatten. This will make it the Print and Cut file.  Now you can print and cut on paper or sticker paper.

In Silhouette Studio Software, you will ungroup the stickers, ungroup the Happy Birthday Sticker, then Release Compound Path on the Happy Birthday Words.  Re color as needed, then select and Make Compound Path.

In the Send screen, make sure to select all the sticker parts, and Choose Cut Edge.  Now it’s ready for Print and Cut.

I hope everyone likes the gift this year.  I think they are so fun.
