The Birthday Project - Time to Shine

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!


Celebrate your glamorous friends this holiday season with birthday cards that reflect their love of sparkle & shine by amping up your look with glitter, sequins, and metallic accents.

MFT products are encouraged, but not required - just make sure to add sparkle & shine to 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
What better way to add sparkle to a card design than with a rainbow! Melania used an assortment of glitter papers to construct her colorful and sparkly rainbow that perfectly complements her stamped unicorns.

Handmade card by Keisha Campbell featuring products from My Favorite Things #mftstamps
Keisha went with shine on her card and added a bold die cut crown perfect for a birthday celebration. The layered elements complete her design and add fun and interest to her birthday themed card.
