3. Watercolor Birthday Card

We would love it if someone gave us this gorgeous watercolor card from Archzine! They’ve got a full tutorial on how to make this card, and don’t worry – you don’t need to have pro watercolor skills for making this one! The best part is that each one you make will be unique, as your strokes and colors vary from card to card.

4. Birthday Bear Card

How cute is this little guy popping up to say “Happy Birthday”? Shouldn’t you be Studying shows us that it’s really easy to make this card, where the bear looks ready to party, with a party hat and two gift bags in his hands. This would also work great as a belated birthday card in case you forgot someone’s special day!

6. Money Candle Birthday Card

What’s one gift that everyone loves? Money, of course! If you’re planning to gift someone money this year, this card from The Happy Scraps is perfect. We love how the candles are made from notes – quite clever!

7. Handmade Crepe Flower Card

There’s something charming about a single bloom, isn’t there? They’re lovely, but they do die eventually. Solve this problem by giving your loved one a crepe paper flower, and it’ll be just as special since it’s been made with your own hands!
