A Set of Cards as a Birthday Gift

Hi everyone! It's Robbie today and I'm sharing a card that I made for an upcoming birthday. Sounds simple enough, but there is a twist to it!

Do you have someone who is particularly difficult to buy for? Do you know a shut in or even someone who isn't crafty, that would love to send a handmade card? Today I have a simple solution, that just might be the perfect gift for some of those people on your birthday list.

I created this little birthday card using the Quilled Cardmaking Kit. Did you notice that there is a BIG bow tied around it? That bow holds a bit of a surprise. There are four cards and four envelopes behind it!

In addition to the birthday card that I made for the recipient, I also made a few more cards to go with it as the gift. This way, the recipient has a variety of cards to pass on. I know there are times in my life when I'm scrambling for a card and I love having some ready-to-go cards on hand, so I thought this would make a great gift idea!

DESIGNER TIPS | CREATING A SET OF CARDS AS A GIFT

To make these in a jiffy, don't overthink the designs. Try keeping to one basic design. The Quilled Card Kit is so pretty already that it really is easy to come up with several cards at a time!

Vary the sentiments. Think about adding a thank you card, a birthday card, a sympathy card or even a basic friendship card. This way, the recipient has a card in a pinch.

Finally, I bet it would be great to receive some forever stamps in one of the envelopes!
