How To Create a Birthday Card

Let's make a happy birthday card for your friend's birthday.

Below is a handmade birthday card, envelope and a gift tag that I have made. These are all very easy and very cheap to make.

Happy Birthday Card Method

1. Cut your card by measuring 4 3/4 inches by 9 1/2 inches (12.1cm by 24.1cm). Folded in half, it measures 4 3/4 inches square, (12.1cm square approx.) from cream cardstock.
   
2. The squares on the card are from wrapping paper. Cut three squares, made from a simple design on the front of the card and glue  everything together.
3. Outline the squares in black to make them stand out more.

How To Make a Gift Tag

This gift tag can be used with the card above or on its own. This gift tag can be used for a Christmas birthday present or as a birthday gift tag throughout the year.

Method

1. For this tag you can use the same cream cardstock as I did for the card above. This gift tag measures 6 inches by 2 1/2 inches (15.2cm by 6.4cm approx.)
2. Then, cut three more squares from the same wrapping paper and glue those to the gift tag. Then outline the squares and join them together with a thick black line.
   
3. Punch a hole at one end with a hole puncher and thread a gold ribbon through.
   
4. You can write your message on the back or print your message on a piece of paper, cut it out and glue it to the back of your gift tag.
