I am so in love with the Amazing Paper Grace Classically Becca by Becca Feeken dies that has just been released. Handcrafted flowers pair perfectly with butterflies for a special card to say you care!
Today’s projects were created with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.
Making birthday cards are one of my favourite activities and today I have another birthday card to share with you made with Altenew products. This was such a quick and easy card to make.
I have started by stenciling the background using the Altenew Woven stencil using Altenew Sweet Leaf ink and speckled black ink over it. The background was added to an A2 card using fun foam.
I have added the flowers on the top left and bottom right as shown.
I have die cut the ‘hello’ die using gold mirror cardstock and adhereed it to a stack of white dies and adhere to the front.
The birthday sentiment is from the Dotted Blooms stamp set which I have heat embossed with white on black card. I have die cut the sentiment using the Featured Sentiments Die Set and adhered to the front with foam tape.
Looking to make a birthday card in a hurry? Today I am sharing a very quick and easy mini-slimline card that has the benefit of being able to be posted with ease. You could use so many different colour combinations – the possibilities are endless!

The Elegant Mosaic stamp and die from the Elegant Mosaic collection by Heartfelt Creation reminded me so much of an old fashioned doily. To create the doily effect I embossed the images on vellum in white embossing powder and I then die cut the layers and backed them with white cardstock to add more dimension to the doily. Of course I had to add some flowers to complete the card.
