Birthday & Thank You Shutter Cards

Wildflower Birthday shutter card samples featuring Stampin' Up! patterned paper by Patty Bennett

Yesterday I shared my method for making these shutter cards (or Fractured cards) using a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of designer paper and 2 small scraps. Please be sure to watch the video below if you didn’t catch the live video presentation.

The birthday cards above and below are created with the Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Birthday designer paper pack. It includes great floral and birthday patterns as well as the adorable pink gingham below, AND has fabulous precolored die cut images you can add to your cards, like the cupcakes on the trio of birthday cards above. I stamped time to celebrate in Blueberry Bushel ink (from the Beautiful Butterflies set) and fussy cut it with my Paper Snips.

Don’t forget the inside of your cards. Recently, instead of just a white layer inside a darker card base, I’ve been adding a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of designer paper AND a white layer. Doesn’t everyone love a little surprise inside??

The pieces are shown on the video. You’ll need:

  • 4″x5-1/4″ DSP piece

I kept this set of 4 Thank You cards pretty simple, and just stamped the greeting from the My Small Business stamp set inside the center square with Boho Blue ink or black ink to match the card base.

Have you ever colored embellishments with Stampin’ Blends? Look how CUTE this is when you add black embellishments to the Meant to Bee shutter card!! I colored the Antique Pearls with a Basic Black Stampin’ Blends marker. Bonus Tip: use glimmer paper for the strips!
