Best Fishes!

 

Make this fishy birthday card using my free templates

I do find it hard to make mens birthday cards - I don't seem to be able to find the right images. Therefore I have made my own template for this card which can be made for someone who keeps fish, likes fish or maybe a fisherman.

I've used my computer and printer to print templates and the greeting but if you have a stamp or die you can use them instead.

Obviously your fish could be any colour but I rather liked the orange colours.

Ice Cream Birthday

 

Use Stampin Up's Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and matching punch to make this cool birthday card

The weather here is still hot so ice creams seemed an ideal image to put on a birthday card that I need to make for next week.

The card has a small cut away part from the right hand edge which gives that card a little bit of character.  The Happy Birthday greeting is actually on the inside back of the card.

You may not have the stamp set, punch or paper that I use but that's ok, just use the card as a guide and use what ever ice cream, lolly or cupcake punch and stamp sets to make a similar card.  I give some further guidance of others ways to create this card in the instructions below.

Birthday Cake

 

Use Stampin Up's 'Piece of Cake' stamp set to make this birthday greeting card

This is a fairly simple card to make and although I've made mine into a birthday card, there are other cake designs to use from the stamp set that it could be adapted for other occaisions such as a wedding card.

Birthday Doilies

 

Use Stampin Up's Dear Doily die set to create this pretty but simple greeting card

I picked out one of my stamp and die sets at random this week and challenged myself to make a card with it. I picked out the 'Dear Doily' set by Stampin Up. I had a vision in my head of how I wanted the card to go but I just couldn't get the doilies to look right! Sometimes it's just best to walk away and come back with a fresh head another day. This is what I did and came up with this card:

It's quite a simple card but you can change the colours so easily and the greeting too so this could be a greeting card for almost any occaision.

If you don't have this specific die, you can use any doilies from your craft stash or cut circles out instead.

Use Stampin Up's Waterfront stamp set to create this really pretty greeting card

This is a fab stamp set as it requires just inks, no colouring in, and it produces a lovely watercolour feel to the image.

Each of the objects, ie mountain, land and water are their own stamp so you can make up various landscape designs, just by changing their position and colour. My card is a beach style card with little beach huts but you could just as easily use it to create a forest scene.

I've used a greeting from another stamp set as I wanted a simple greeting. However there are some nice ones that come with the waterfront stamp set and you may just have to change the placing of the greeting banner depending on the size of the greeting chosen
