Birthdays deserve more than just store-bought cards — they deserve a personal touch! This month, I’m excited to introduce the Birthday Celebrations Card Kit of the Month, designed to help you create beautiful, heartfelt cards with ease.

Plus, as a special bonus, my latest Facebook Live features an interactive Free-Standing Pop-Up Card that you can make using the kit supplies.

The Free-Standing Pop Up card features one of the Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper card fronts. The huge birthday cake makes a whimsical element that literally pops up and stands for display. The card template is a fun design that’s extra special, and (Bonus!) doesn’t require any dies or special tools to create. I featured the project during this week’s Facebook Live.

Why Handmade Gift Packaging Makes a Difference

In the rush of buying presents, it’s easy to overlook how much a thoughtful presentation can enhance the entire gifting experience. The way you wrap your gift says a lot about how much you care, and it’s a great way to show your loved ones you’ve put extra thought into their present.

When you make your own gift packaging, you’re not only saving money but also making something uniquely yours. Plus, it’s a fun activity that the whole family can get involved in.

So, grab your supplies, watch the demo, and let’s get wrapping!
