Top Fold Birthday Card Idea

May 20, 2025May 16, 2025 | 6 Comments

Hand holding an elegant handmade “happy birthday” card with a floral frame, twine bow, and layered patterned paper. Card is partly open, revealing more floral paper inside. Craft supplies—gold embellishments, twine, and scissors—are visible in the background. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

When I saw this Beautiful Gallery Paper, I fell in love instantly with almost every single pattern in the 6×6 paper stack. This particular pattern is really pretty.. reminds me of an old tapestry or embroidered fabric.

I made this Top Fold Birthday card with Secret Sea and Cloud Cover cardstock (new In Colors) and a frame die cut and torn piece of patterned paper from the Beautiful Gallery pack.

A digital flyer displays vertical strips of floral and landscape-patterned paper. A large red arrow points to one pink and blue floral strip. Text reads: “Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Gallery DSP #165196 www.pattystamps.com/shop.” Patty Bennett’s watermark appears. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Beautiful Gallery paper #165196 can be found on page 55 or page 119 in the 2025 2026 Stampin’ Up! annual catalog or in my online store.

I’ve circled the pattern above that I used on my Top Fold birthday card today.

A handmade “happy birthday” card with a floral frame, twine bow, and torn paper accents is shown on a table. Beside it are a spool of twine and a pack of small gold embellishments. The card and tools sit on a wood-textured surface. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Keeping with the natural / earthy theme of this card, I added Linen Thread and Pressed Flower Motifs gems. See all of these card making supplies in my supply list below – click any photo to shop in my online store. Thank you for your order!
