It’s time for the Glitter Queens Blog Hop and today it’s all about birthdays! I hope you’ll hop around and visit everyone’s blog!


My birthday card is very similar to one I posted on Monday but this one has a little twist – inside there’s an envelope for a gift card! I have to credit Caro Van Der Straaten from the Netherlands for this cute idea to put an envelope inside the card using the Envelope Punch Board.

The video below will show how easy it is to create this type of card.  When I showed the card to my husband, his first comment was that it looked hard to make but it really isn’t, honest!!  I used Picture Perfect Party 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Berry Burst, Whisper White & Basic Black cardstock as well as Berry Burst Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon.  For the version below, I used the same products but switched out the Berry Burst for Bermuda Bay and added Bermuda Bay Stitched Satin Ribbon.  The sentiment is from the stamp set Picture Perfect Birthday.

All the measurements for today’s project are included in the video and below you’ll also find a supply list of all the Stampin’ Up! products I used.

Next in the lineup is Debi Galloway! If you get lost along the way, here’s a list of all the participating Glitter Queens.  Thanks for hopping with us!
