Birthday cards for all, part 2

If you need ideas for birthday cards, this post (and the previous part 1) are the posts for you. These will probably be my last blog posts of the year, and since I still have so many cards from 2020 to share, I'm gathering together almost all of my remaining birthday cards into a couple of posts. I'll provide supply lists, but probably not much else because these posts are already going to be long. Be sure to leave a comment below if you have questions about anything.

The word balloon card really caught my eye - great for many different age groups and the colors are perfect for guys. Thanks for all the ideas!

Thank you, Judy! That word balloon is a fun die - and the letters it cuts out can be used on another project. :)

Love the pink and blue Unicorn! His sparkly mane looks great! The cards with the suitcases on look very 'vintage', especially the one with "Birthday Wishes" on! That one is my fave! Great job Andrea!
