2 SPECIAL Birthday Cards – Just for YOU! (+ Video)

Would you agree that Birthday’s are special? Do you think that some are ‘more’ special than others…

Birthday cards are always special, but wouldn’t it be nice to make them just that little bit more personal.  Why not add some numbers to highlight the age… or, if that is a little too scary, you could always just use the number ’29’ 😉.  Today, I have made 2 cards using the versatile Bold Numerals Die set.

Today’s cards are very easy to create, and I wanted to give you both a feminine and masculine example for inspiration.

This is part of my Take 2 Series with Altenew and I’m so excited to be back with another video today.

Card #1 – Floral

The great thing about adding the numbers as a focal point is that you can pretty much add any style of image or design that you like.  I chose the beautiful bouquet from the Gracious Peonies Stamp Set.

It was easy to quickly colour the bloom using the coordinating Simple Coloring Stencil.

But the star of the show is the Bold Numerals Die and I thought it would look amazing die cut from some Birch Wood Cardstock.

Card #2 – Stencil Background

For the masculine design I decided to ink blend a fun bright background using the Shattered Cubes Builder Stencil Set.

But this time I really wanted the numbers to pop so I die cut them from some Jet Black Cardstock and added a sub sentiment from the Bold Sentiments Stamp Set.

BONUS TIP: If you are short on time you could use design paper instead!

  1. Two fabulous cards! I have a set of big numbers and they get a work out – one of the most used products I have purchased. So easy to add numbers to a card already in the stash as the kiddos ask on their way out the door! I must admit I would’ve just used patten paper you know that right? 😉
