Hi everyone! I'm up on the Doodlebug Blog today! And sharing my projects here too! Today I'm sharing a sweet birthday suite! A card, envelope and pillow box gift card holder that all match perfectly! The "Made With Love" collection is a great choice for birthday cards. And I always love using cupcakes as a theme for birthdays. Everyone loves cupcakes! These new Doodle Cuts are so fun and fabulous! Cheerful, happy and sweet! Hope you enjoy today's projects!
Here's a close up of the paper layers on the gift card holder. I made the gift card holder using the gorgeous gingham paper from the "Made With Love" collection and then decorated it with yummy papers and a sweet stamped birthday greeting. I die cut the cupcake parts from the papers in the collection and stamped the sentiment with the You Bake Me Happy Stamp Set!
The birthday card is a tri-fold card with a belly band made from papers and stickers. And one sweet little cupcake on top!! To keep it simple, my finished card is 4" x 5.5". To make a trifold card, cut your paper to 8" x 5.5". Use your Scorpal and score in two inches from each side of the card. Fold it and voila!
The pillow box opens up to place a gift card inside and some paper confetti too. Very festive! I collect Starbucks cards and I have about 300 or so!! That way I always have one to match the person or occasion!
You can slide the belly band off the card to reveal the inside – again stamped with that awesome You Bake Me Happy stamp set in pretty pink ink.
I used more papers from the collection to line a matching pink envelope. I love how the card and the envelope go together so nicely. This is a great way to have your projects pop and look professional. It also shows some extra love by decorating the envelope! I used stickers and Sprinkles to jazz up the outside of the envelope too – of course!
This project will work with any of your favorite Doodlebug Collections!! Great for Christmas, Mother's Day, Easter…any occasion. Just change up the main image (maybe change the cupcake to a gingerbread man…) No end to the fun possibilities! Thanks for stopping by today! Hope your day is filled with creativity and smiles.

This set is adorable. I love how you decorated the envelope too. I would like to know where you got the envelope sticker that says hello friend.
Thanks.
Yes, I agree. Adorable is the word to describe these products and your work, Wanda! Wonderful projects!
