Birthday Party Hats

Hi friends! It’s Christina, and I have a simple die-cut birthday card to share with you today featuring some crafty essentials that I reach for time and time again. The Streamer Dies, the Pinking Rectangles, and any of the wavy banners get a workout in my craft room because they are so versatile and can be used for almost any occasion; plus, they add just the right amount of whimsical flair to your card designs. I combined these essentials with the Party Hats Dies for a classic birthday card that’s easy to put together. Let’s get started!

Sentiment Strips Birthday stamp set

I started by choosing a color palette and cardstock for my design. I ended up with pink, blue, and apricot, with a touch of yellow and green. I decided to use the apricot colors for the background and layered the largest Pinking Rectangle onto an A2 cardstock panel.

Next, I die-cut the party hats and played with different color combinations until I was happy with the results. The possibilities are endless with these Party Hats, and with this design, you could easily mass-produce these cards to fill your birthday card stash. 

With the Party Hats assembled, I die-cut the Streamers from the same colors and arranged everything onto the layered background panel. I used some of the stars from die-cutting the smaller hat several times as embellishments for an even more festive look. The final steps were to add a sentiment that I heat-embossed with white embossing powder on a wavy banner and then attach everything to a side-fold card base.

I hope I’ve inspired you to create something with your favorite crafty essentials! See you again soon!
