The Birthday Project - Have a Wild Birthday

Despite different backgrounds, beliefs, and traditions, one thing we share that unites us and is worth celebrating is the birthday of friends and family. Recognizing the special day of someone you love with a handcrafted card straight from the heart is always a good idea and if stocking your stash with unique birthday designs is on the agenda, have we got the perfect challenge for you! 

Our monthly Birthday Project challenge features ideas for getting creative with your birthday card making. Our team is excited to share their ideas, and we’re ALL excited to see how the challenges inspire you!


The party animals in your life will appreciate you including animals of the truly wild variety for this month’s challenge. Lions and tigers, zebras and giraffes, hippos and elephants…you’re sure to discover the perfect animal addition for your next birthday look. Go wild!

MFT products are encouraged, but not required - just make sure to include an animal on your birthday project to be eligible! You can enter your cards for this week's challenge in the Inlinkz Link Up at the bottom of this post.


Handmade card by Melania Deasy featuring products from My Favorite Things #mftstamps

Melania created a party animal birthday party on her design complete with an entire band playing a variety of musical instruments. The large Happy Birthday sentiment provides a bold greeting with added sparkle and shine to really make it stand out and complement the scene below it.

Handmade card by Karolyn Loncon featuring products from My Favorite Things #mftstamps

Karolyn featured a skating polar bear on her design and created a custom sentiment by combining both stamping and die cut letters to spell out her punny greeting!
