I thought this was a cute stamp set combo: Blooming Phrases and Sweet Jar bundle from Stampin’ Up! I hope you enjoy this square birthday card idea – I think it’s fun to receive a non-traditional size card in the mail!

Square Birthday Card Color Combo

I used some new Stampin’ Up! colors like Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling, in addition to a returning In Color: Summer Splash.

Five stacked Stampin’ Up! ink pads labeled Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling, and Summer Splash are on the left. Two handmade birthday cards featuring a mason jar of colorful candles are on the right, each with a patterned background. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Easy Square Card Dimensions:

  • Cardstock Base: 4-1/4″ x 8-1/2″, score in half at 4-1/4″
  • Designer paper layer: 4″x 4″
  • White Square: 3″ x 3″

Frequently Asked Question when I share square cards: do you make a square envelope? You certainly can, but I use the standard A2 Stampin’ UP! medium envelope. The US post office charges extra to mail square envelopes, so I just use the envelopes I already have for 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ cards.

Four jar-shaped paper cutouts are shown on a grid mat; two are decorated with colorful birthday candles, and two with pink and red hearts. Black jar lid cutouts are placed nearby. A transparent Stampin’ Up! block and a PattyStamps watermark are visible. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)
