If you’re looking for a special way to send birthday wishes, a handmade birthday box card is the perfect choice. This stunning, dimensional card design is more than just a greeting—it’s a keepsake that can be displayed and cherished.
Why Choose a Box Card?
Unlike traditional flat cards, a box card stands up on its own, creating a 3D effect that makes it feel extra special. This particular design features:
- A beautiful pastel color scheme with floral accents
- A layered birthday cake centerpiece with candles
- Gold embellishments for a touch of elegance
- A heartfelt “Happy Birthday” banner
How This Card Was Made
This card was created using Stampin’ Up! products, including designer series paper, dies, stamps, and embellishments. The base is made from sturdy cardstock, folded into a box shape that flattens for easy mailing. The cake and banner are die-cut and layered with dimensionals to give depth to the design.
The background features a delicate floral pattern, bringing a soft and elegant touch to the card. A golden stitched accent panel adds texture, making the centrepiece pop beautifully.
