Making Birthday Cards with Christmas Supplies

Oct 7, 2017 | birthday cards, Happy birthday gorgeous, happy birthday thinlits, masculine cards, Merry Patterns, Stampin' Up!, What Cathy Made

I really love getting multiple uses from all of my craft equipment which is why I’m super excited to share with you a birthday card I made this week.

To create my birthday card I used 2 products from the holiday catalogue: a Christmas stamp set and a Fall/Autumn/Thanksgiving punch. Can you guess which products I used?

The stamp set is called Merry Patterns. This is a beautiful Christmas stamp set that features so many great stamps: a lovely large sentiment, beautiful candles, a fir branch and the cutest reindeers! Here’s a couple of the cards I’ve already made from this set.

When I went to make another card with this set I wanted to try out the candle stamp this time…and I suddenly realised the candles would also work really well on a birthday card. So I made my first ever double Z fold card using the Merry Patterns stamp set.

I used dapper denim and marina mist ink to stamp my candle stamp and then I decided the card needed something above the candles. I die cut the happy birthday die in gold glimmer paper for one side of the card but I only used the “happy”…the birthday was stamped from the matching Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set…I really love the font on this set.

I made some large candles for the other side of the card using the Colour Theory Designer Series Paper Stack, but my hand-cut candles really needed a flame. Can you guess what I used?

That’s right, I used the new leaf punch! I simply stamped it out of gold glimmer paper as well and cut it in three. I love how the shape of the leaves makes the candle flames look like they are moving in the wind (and close up you can see that I didn’t quite position the 3rd flame correctly, whoops!).

The final touches to this card were stamping the “make a wish’ sentiment on the inside of the double Z fold. You can see on the photo below how when the card is fully opened there’s also a blank section of whisper white to write your own message on.

The big candles were looking a little plain so I decided to stamp the “hip hip hooray” sentiment sideways onto the middle candle…I really like the look of stamps stamped vertically instead of horizontally.

And to keep the card folded flat so it can easily pop into en envelope I attached a length of gold 1/8 ribbon to the back of the card and then used it to tie around the front and make a decorative bow.

I deliberately made this card in blue so it could be used for male or fame, young or old. I think this is a really versatile card for a wide range of ages.

Are you getting the most out of your craft supplies? I’ve got another versatile idea for you, this time using the offcuts of the Happy Birthday Die. I explain it all in my blog last week.

    After many requests from my clients, I have created this monthly backlinks SEO package for CBD and Hemp businesses. Essentially, the premium package contains everything that you will need to rank higher on the search engines, get more visitors and make more sales.

    Depending on the package that you order, here is what you will receive:

    Posts and links on CBD and Hemp blog: these will provide you with contextual and extremely powerful links that will tell the search engines that your site is very popular in this niche which will force the search engines to rank you up!

    Promotion of your brand/site on over 10,000 most popular forums in the world: you will receive links, direct traffic to your site and generate brand awareness.

    Guest posts: I will post articles on popular sites and add links to your site.

    Are you looking to make your e-liquid or vape brand a global success? Do you want to see your e-liquid or vape brand inside every shop around the world? Our global vape shop database will connect your vape brand with thousands of vape shops around the world and subsequently, increase your revenues and profit. Our global vape shop database has been compiled manually by our internal team over a long period of time through contacts gained at vape exhibitions and publicly available resources.

    Do you ever wonder, how today’s big e-juice brands became big? They did what mattered the most- approached vape stores and established a rapport with vape store owners. We see many excellent e-juice brands that still fail or do not do as well as they should, simply because they do not do what matters- SELL THEIR E-JUICE TO VAPE SHOPS! (this should be the ultimate goal of any vape-related business). Our Global Vape Shop Database connects the dots between e-juice brands and the vape shops!

    Hi guys

    I am in the midst of starting up my very own little vape shop in Kent and wanted to reach out to you to ask you for some advice as it looks like you have a pretty successful vape business going.

    Firstly, I would like to know how to select the best e-liquid wholesaler with a very good e-liquid range. Do let me know if you sell wholesale and if so, it would be great if you could send me across your price list.

    I am planning of making my own e-liquid brand and was wondering what is the best way to promote it? I have already purchased an email list of all vape shops and companies as a whole for my newsletter marketing from https://theeliquidboutique.co.uk/products/vape-company-e-mail-mailing-list

    I am also getting a vape SEO company to help me with the website creation.

    What else would you recommend I do to make my vape shop a success?

    I really appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you.

    Kind regards

    George

    An added important area is that if you are an older person, travel insurance pertaining to pensioners is something you should really look at. The older you are, the harder at risk you are for getting something awful happen to you while in most foreign countries. If you are definitely not covered by many comprehensive insurance policy, you could have a few serious problems. Thanks for discussing your suggestions on this weblog.
