Today I’m sharing an easy birthday card I made using the Build A Gift Die Set from Pretty Pink Posh. If you like die cutting, then this set is definitely for YOU! This die set comes with 12 dies to make gifts with ribbon and bows.
If you would like to watch how I made this card, then watch my video here.
I die cut the rectangle and square gift dies using pink, teal, and orange cardstock. I die cut the ribbon dies and the bow dies as well. After die cutting all of my pieces, I glued them together. After all of my gifts were put together, I stamped the sentiment onto the front of an A2 white card base. The sentiment is from the Birthday Scripts Stamp Set.
I used a Scalloped Frame Die from pink cardstock and adhered to the front of an A2 white card base. Next, I arranged my three gifts on the front of the card and added Flamingo Pearls and Sunshine Pearls to the card.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!

Today I’m joining Pretty Pink Posh in an Instagram hop celebrating their Spring/Easter release! This is Day 1 of a three-day Instagram hop where Pretty Pink Posh is giving away three $25 gift cards! Be sure to head over to Instagram for all of the details.
In today’s blog post, I’m sharing some beautiful pinwheels that I made. Pinwheels can be used for decoration and even party favors — birthday parties, baby showers, bridal showers, and holidays. These pinwheels are so easy to make by simply using the 3D Pinwheel die from Pretty Pink Posh and some beautiful pattern papers.
If you would like to see a detailed tutorial showing how I made my pinwheels, then watch my video on YouTube.
Here are some up close pictures of my 3D pinwheels. For the base of the pinwheel, I used lollipop sticks and attached them to the paper pinwheel with a glue dot.
I added a felt flower to the center for some extra decoration.
The pinwheels below are perfect for a child’s birthday party favor. I added the paper pinwheel to a pixie stick.
Here are some pinwheels added to an Easter themed pencil.
These are perfect to add to a child’s Easter basket.
Next, I used the Flat Pinwheel die set from Pretty Pink Posh to make a scene card. The Flat Pinwheel die set comes with four pinwheel shapes in various sizes. I used three of the sizes and layered them to make a dimensional pinwheel for my card.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think of my projects.

Today I’m sharing a fun birthday shaker card I made using the Party Cake Die Set.
This die set comes with a square frame that you can use with or without the inside scalloped edge. It also comes with a cake die. You can use the dies alone or you can use them together to frame the cake like I did in my card.
If you would like to watch how I made this card, then watch my video here.
I started off by using the frame die to die cut a piece of green cardstock and a piece of yellow cardstock. I used the green cardstock piece for the square frame and the yellow cardstock piece for the inside scalloped edge. I added those diecuts to a piece of acetate. On the reverse of the frame, I added double-sided adhesive foam to outline the square frame and then I set it aside.
Using the cake die, I die cut three pieces of cardstock – gray, pink, and green. I assembled the cake starting from the bottom to top onto a piece of white cardstock that measures 3” x 3”. I added the 3” x 3” piece with the cake assembled to the top middle of a piece of white cardstock that measures 4” x 5 1/4”.
Next, I added Sherbert Clay Confetti to the center of the cake and then added the frame to the top to seal in the confetti pieces.
I die cut the Celebrate Script word die with pink cardstock and added it beneath the frame on the card front.
Next, I added the white card panel to a piece of yellow cardstock that measures 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”. I added the yellow panel to a piece of green cardstock that measures 4 1/4” x 5 1/2”. I added the final layer to an A2 white card base.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think of my card.
Happy Crafting!

If you would like to watch a tutorial of me making all three cards, then check out my YouTube video.
Card 1 features the Birthday Wreath stamp set, Layered Candles stencil, and the Crafty Critters stamp set.
I started by coloring the images in the Birthday Wreath stamp set and Crafty Critters stamp set with Copic markers. Below is a list of Copic markers I used.
Birthday Wreath:
Cake – Y00, Y08/RV02, RV06/YR12 (candle wick)/YG07
Stars – Y08
Single Candle – YR12 (wick)/V12, V15
Large Present – V12, V15, V17/YR12, YR16
Small Present – R24, R27/B01, B02, B05
Black Dot Present – YG05, YG07, YG09/RV02, RV04
Polkadot Present – YG05, YG09/B01, B05
Striped Party Hat – YR12, YR16/RV02, RV04
Polkadot Party Hat – YG05, YG09/V12, V15
Crafty Critters:
Mouse – R01, R11/C0, C1, C3, C4
Next, I cut a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ and used some Distress Oxide inks with the Layered Candles stencil to make the fun candle background. The inks I used are – Carved Pumpkin, Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron, Tumbled Glass, and Mermaid Lagoon.
I added a piece of vellum to the top of the layered candle background to soften the colors.
I added a piece of acetate behind the birthday wreath and added it to a piece of pink cardstock that I die cut using the Scallop Circle dies. I die cut the center of the scallop circle from white cardstock and adhered the white cardstock to my card front. I added the Rainbow Sprinkles clay confetti to the center of the scalloped frame. I added double-sided adhesive foam strips to the back of the birthday wreath and added it to the top of the card to cover the sprinkles.
Finally, I added the mouse from the Crafty Critters stamp set along with a candle from the Birthday Wreath stamp set. The entire layer was added to a pink A2 size card base.
For my second card, I inked the Layered Cupcake stencil onto a piece of a Bristol Smooth cardstock which I cut to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″. The Distress Oxide ink colors I used are Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Antique Linen, Mermaid Lagoon, and Twisted Citron.
I die cut the Scallop Border die from white cardstock and added it to the bottom of the cupcake panel. I die cut the Celebrate Script word die from silver glitter cardstock and blue cardstock. I layered the two words together, offsetting them slightly, so the silver glitter cardstock shows as a shadow underneath the blue cardstock.
I used the koala stamp from the Crafty Critters stamp set and the cupcake and candle stamp from the Birthday Wreath stamp set. The Copic markers I used are as follows:
I added Blue Sky Pearls, Flamingo Pearls, and Sunshine Pearls. I added this layer to a piece of blue card that measures 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and then added that layer to a white A2 size card base.
I love to make shaker cards so for my last card, I made another shaker card. I used the Layered Presents stencil for my background. I used the following Distress Oxide inks: Spun Sugar, Mermaid Lagoon, Fossilized Amber, Dusty Concord, and Cracked Pistachio. This panel was cut to 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″.
I used the Scallop Frame die set to cut a piece of blue cardstock. I added a piece of acetate to the back of the scallop rectangle frame. I also added two layers of double sided adhesive foam around the back of the rectangle. I added the Pinata Party Clay Confetti to the center of the stenciled panel and added the rectangle to the top of the card panel.
For the sentiment, I die cut the word “Birthday” from the Birthday Wishes Script die set. I used the Birthday Scripts stamp set and stamped the word “Happy” inside of the balloon from the Birthday Wreath stamp set. I added the balloon and the koala to the front of the card. The stenciled panel was added to a piece of blue cardstock that was cut to 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ and then that was added to a white A2 card base.
I hope you liked my cards today. Don’t forget, you can watch a full tutorial over on my YouTube channel showing how I made these cards.

If you would like to see the entire birthday release, check out my video below.
After the images were colored, I die cut the tags in different cardstock colors. I pieced in the horizontal line die cuts in different colors to create a multi-color tag.
For these two tags, I used bright cardstock and Copic markers to create fun, bright birthday tags.
For these tags, I used softer tones. These stamps don’t necessarily have to be used for just birthdays. You can use the tags for a new baby or baby shower.
The cake stamp reminds me of a wedding cake. You can even use it for a wedding gift tag.

Today I’m sharing some cards I made using Spellbinders Be Bold Color Block Collection. I love the dies in this collection because you can use them for quick and easy cards. The dies do all of the work and are the focal point of your cards. The only thing you need to think about is the color of paper you want to use.
If you would like to see these dies in action and how I made my cards, check out my YouTube video.
For the birthday card, I used a different color glitter cardstock sheet for each of the letters in the word “birthday.” The Scrapbook.com slimline paper pads work great because each pad contains eight different colors of cardstock. I used the Rainbow glitter slimline paper pad for my cards. I die cut the entire die from each of the eight pieces of cardstock and that gave me enough die cuts to make a total of eight birthday cards! I used the Scrapbook.com Mixed Metals slimline paper pad for the word “happy” and die cut it from black glitter cardstock.
The birthday die measures 8 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ and fits perfectly on the front of slimline card base.
