Hello friends and happy Sunday! The Paper Players Design Team is back with another challenge. Our fabulous LeAnne is hosting a Theme Challenge called By The Numbers! Anything goes as long as your design has a number.
I’m not sure why I chose a 30th birthday to celebrate but I’m thinking I would love to be able to celebrate that milestone again!
My card design is simple and versatile enough to swap out colors and change the look. Daffodil Delight, Real Red and Pacific Point are Stampin’ Up’s Primary Colors. Try this design with all neutrals, or pale pinks, blues and greens. Our new In Colors would work beautifully!
Here’s a Quick and Easy How To:
- Start with a Basic White A-2 tent fold card base 8.5″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″. I used Thick Basic White cardstock.
- With a 2 1/4″ circle punch, punch out four cardstock circles; three in your choice of colors and one Basic Black.
- Cut a Basic White large sentiment layer 1 1/4″ x 3 1/3″
- Cut a Basic Black layer 1 3/8″ x 3 1/8″.
- Stamp “BIRTHDAY” with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto the Basic White Sentiment layer.
- Attach the sentiment layer to the Basic Black small layer.
- Arrange your circles and attach them to each other with multipurpose glue.
- I first attached the Basic Black circle to the Daffodil Delight circle as shown.
- The Real Red circle will be at the bottom of your circle cluster, attach the Pacific Point circle, then the Daffodil Delight and Basic Black cicle.
- Attach the circle cluster to the card base with Dimensionals.
- Stamp the “happy” sentiment as shown.
- Attach the BIRTHDAY sentiment layer as shown.
- I die cut the numbers for this challenge using the Playful Alphabet Dies.
- The embellishments are some Candy Dots from days back. If you don’t have them, you can improvise according to your colors.
So, pull out your circle punch, add a big wishful sentiment and a great number and create something to link up with us over at the Paper Players.
…the only limitation is your imagination!

Love this Debbie! All of the circles really create such a fun background and that color combo is awesome. I rarely use Pacific Point but this combo is one I can’t wait to try. Talk about a HAPPY birthday card!
This is a fun card…love your design and color choice!
I love the big bold elements you used…this would be a great masculine 30th birthday card! The colors are fabulous!
I love the big, bold circles and clean, graphic style of your card Debbie, which would work for any age with an easy number switch. I’m with you though – oh to be 30 again – I can but wish!
Love the graphic bold colors and big birthday greeting. Now, as for being in my 30’s again? I would love to have my son here to take care of again as I miss him so. The rest…not so much! LOL Take care!
I just love the graphic feel of your card. The colors and the bold sentiment are amazing! Great use of numbers, too! Just a fun card to brighten someone’s dy!
What a fun graphic card! I love the primary colors and the circles really ground the sentiment! I also love the idea of playing around with the color combinations and keeping the same layout! So many possibilities! Have a fun week!
A cool, contemporary design that can fit a card for a person of any age and gender. So versatile!
