Craft Ahead, Worry Behind – Birthday

Print

It’s been a fun week of inspiration! We hope you are beginning to feel like you are ready to tackle 2016 with handmade happiness in card form.

To finish out the week, we want to get you ready for all of those birthdays that seem to come faster and faster every year. From masculine to teens to kids and your favorite ladies, we’ve got you covered with a wide array of ideas.

Each day this week we shared some of MFT’s greatest hits based on card themes that you use the most often — thank you, celebrations, get well, sympathy, encouragement, hello, and birthday cards. Pin the ones that you love on your Pinterest boards and then once things settle down a bit, use these cards as inspiration to get your stash well-stocked for the year. Won’t that be a great feeling?

While you’re at it, be sure to follow My Favorite Things on Pinterest so that you won’t miss one fantastic project, tutorial, or video!

Here are 8 birthday card ideas that you can pin for later inspiration! Below each individual photo, you will find a direct link to the original post of the card if you are interested in products and/or techniques.
