This cheerful handmade birthday card will put a smile on someone’s face.
Today is my birthday and it is a milestone one… Now I am officially a “senior” and I am not sure how I feel about that. However, this bright, cheerful card brings a smile to my face for sure.
It looks complicated but the sunburst technique is actually quite simple to make. You can view a step by step video here.
I used the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper to make the sunburst. I love the foil on some of the pages! That paper also gave me the colour combination of bumblebee and early espresso. I used four pieces measuring 4″ x 1 3/4″. You can use any patterned paper you have on hand but make sure that both sides work well together. Then you will have a pleasing result.
I also love the delicate borders from the Ornate Borders Dies. They are all so pretty and delicate, and add such a special touch to any card.
You will want to add your greeting in a circle in the middle so you end up with a cheerful handmade birthday card. Need inspiration for another birthday card? Check this floral birthday card.
