Water Color Birthday Card
If there is a hidden painter inside you who loves to play and make something creative using watercolors, then you should use that talent to create a birthday card for your loving friend or family member. You can make balloons using a thermocol sheet or a thick piece of cardboard and cover them with cardstock. Now use bright watercolors to draw a pattern or design over the balloons and stick them to the handmade card. Receiving such a cute birthday card will certainly warm the heart of your loved ones.
Scrapbook Birthday Card
A scrapbook birthday card will be an excellent idea for a friend or dear one you adore a lot and with whom you shared loads of sweet memories. You can either buy a scrapbook from the market or create one at home using cardstock. Now paste the memorable pictures of the birthday person that includes you inside the scrapbook and mention the funny or the unforgettable events related to every image.
Birthday Cake Card
You can create a cake by layering three to four pieces of yellow or pink cardstock by tearing and curling them from the edges. Cut the cardstock in the shape of candles and embellish them with sketch colors. Now stick these candles at the top of the cake and paste them in the middle of the handmade card. You can also decorate the card at the corners with birthday wishes and cute quotes.
Glitter Birthday Card
We all love a little glitter for they instill happy thoughts in our minds. And the glittery colorful birthday card is great to delight the heart of kids in the family. You can simply cut the thermocol sheet in the shape of letters that says HAPPY BIRTHDAY… Now paste those letters over a folded cardstock decorated from the corners. For each letter, you can use the different colored glitter. The card will look no less than a gorgeous rainbow and add to the celebrations of your little ones.
Pop-Up Balloon Card
The pop-up cards are quite popular these days and the favorites of the DIY lover. Take a simple cardstock and fold it in half. N-ow cut parallel lines in the middle fold and make sure the cuts should be half the length of the card. Now push the flaps forward and stick the balloons and the happy birthday sign on the front part of the folded out flaps and close the card. This card seems simple from the outside but once the recipient will open it the balloons will pop up as a surprise on the inside giving a 3D effect.
These imaginative, interesting, and creative DIY birthday card ideas will surely add some extra fun to the birthday celebrations of your friends and family members and give them loving memories to cherish forever.
