The cards for the organizer

I have a bunch of cards left over from the craft fair I did at the end of June, so I'm using those for my husband's uncle's card organizer. The only theme I didn't have enough of was birthday cards. I needed 8 more, so I sat down and made them on Wednesday. I went through my patterned paper and found two that I liked. Since I only needed male birthday cards, I chose blue and green card stock for the background. I cut the patterned paper 3/4 inches smaller than the card body. I also chose ribbon and fibers to adhere the tags with stamped images on the card. I used shaped paper clips on most of the cards to attach the fiber or ribbon.

These first three are pretty much the same, except the background paper. I stamped the "Make a Wish" stamp from a $1 studio g acrylic stamp set from Micheals, and then stamped a 3 candle stamp set I got in a birthday stamp pack from Micheals. I separated each graphic and put eyelets on them and then threaded the graphics on ribbon. I attached them to the cards with shaped paper clips.


Same as last one, just different ribbon and background paper.


This one has a different card body color, but the same background paper as the first card. It also has a different color of ribbon.


These next two are kind of hard to see the graphics. It has a party hat, then the words "Happy birthday" over a noise maker, and then another party hat. All of the images come from Studio G $1 acrylic stamp sets.


Same as the last, but with a different background paper.


This one is the only one I made that didn't have at least fiber. The birthday present came from the birthday stamp set from Micheals, and the text stamp is from a hostess gift I got the last time I hosted a Stampin' Up workshop.


The balloons I got in a birthday stamp pack from Micheals. The "happy birthday" is from $1 Studio G stamp sets. I like the look of the balloons pop doted over the ribbon.


This one is the same as the last one, just a different placement for the images, and I didn't use shaped clips to attach the ribbon.



I really hope that my husband's uncle likes this gift. I hope you've enjoyed looking at them : ).
