#imbringingbirthdaysback – Garden Impressions Birthday Card Tutorial

Posted on by

Have you seen the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper yet it’s part of our July Buy 3 Get 1 Free Promotion? If you haven’t you’ll want to check it out since it is packed full of patterns that are great for making lots of cards since it comes in a 6×6 stack.

If your birthday is in July your card is already in the mail with a little special something just for you. But if not I thought I’d share this quick and simple card that highlights our Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper.

For this month’s cards I’ve used different patterns with the same colors and basic layout. I chose the So Saffron and Shaded Spruce since these two colors were prominent a lot of the papers so they were easy to make multiples.

It made this paper  a natural choice when I needed to make lots of birthday cards for my #imbringingbackbirthdaysback. Here is what I came up with –  multiple patterns with the same basic layout – which I just love since they look different enough I could send them to family too.

I’ve created a quick tutorial for you so you can make some too!
