Birthday Cards 4 Kids at Send a Smile 4 Kids

It’s the first Saturday of a new month and time for another fun challenge at Send a Smile 4 Kids! The theme for this challenge is Birthday Cards 4 Kids, but you can choose to participate in our challenge with any card appropriate for a child.

I made this cake box card with a die from Paper Wishes for a child who loves dinosaurs. I added dino stickers from Pipstickers and a perfect sentiment die from Whimsy Stamps. 

Be sure to check out the rest of the cards from TEAM SAS here and we would love it if you entered our challenge.

More Mini Envelope Punch Board Cards PLUS Bonus Tutorial Cards and Envelopes

As I show in my new video this week, I had great fun playing with my new Mini Envelope Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers and this sweet card and envelope is one of the many I made. On the front of the card which is 3 1/4 x 4" is a Penny Black Masterpieces Made Simple Bright Bouquets picture and a perfect sentiment die from Sue Wilson and Creative Expressions. Here is what is inside this sweet card for the birthday girl:

The 2 x 2 1/2 inch envelope I show how to make in the video is perfect for gift cards! It is also perfect for on the front of a mini slimline card with tons of hearts and sending hugs like on this card:

The wavy stitched mini slimline die I created the card front with is from Kat Scrappiness and the heart dies are from Dies...To Die For.  Here is another mini slimline card I created with super cute mini envelopes and messages for my grandson:

Inside the one and two inch square envelopes on this mini slimline card are cute racoon stickers from Pipstickers showing swimming and smores and campfires which is what we can't wait to do with him in July. I discovered how to make mini slimline envelopes in a YouTube video and decided to add a bonus tutorial to my new video and share how to make them. You can see one in the Sending Hugs card above. As I show in the video, the larger size Envelope Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers is required and a piece of 8 x 8 inch lighter weight paper. Watch the video here and you will see I now have a cute plaid mini slimline envelope to mail this card in.

I am entering the 3rd card in the Anything Goes challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday. 

I hope you find time this week to play and then send some of your handmade joy out into this world!

Fabulous Folded Cake Box Cards and Video

Who doesn't love birthday cakes? We all do and in my newest video here I show how to make this floral stand up birthday card and many others with the newest Fabulous Folded die set from Paper Wishes. I am a subscriber so at the end of each month I receive a fun surprise in the mail and this month's die set is the Cake Box Card die set. But the best part is you do not need to be a subscriber to purchase this or any of their Fabulous Folded die sets and even without the subscription savings, the prices are so reasonable! 

As I show in the video, these cake box cards can stand up as shown and then lay flat to mail. But I show step by step how the cake box can also be attached inside and card and pop up when the card is opened and here is the card I made:

The Cake Box Die Set includes many flower dies, the candle and the tag as shown in the inside of this card and the first card above. On the front of this card I used stitched flower dies from My Favorite Things and a birthday sentiment die from Karen Burniston. Here is another card I made with the cake popping up inside the card:

HB2U is a die from Picket Fence and "Enjoy" is from Karen Burniston. 

I made this cake box card for my grandson who loves dinosaurs with dino stickers from Pipstickers and a fun die from Whimsy Stamps. 

I had so much fun playing with the new Cake Box Card Die Set from Paper Wishes and hope my cards inspire you to watch the new video and have a play yourself.
