I personally LOVE to make & send cards to friends & family on various occasions. It’s just an extra, personal step I like to do and it means more than a simple text, Facebook message or email.

And although these birthday themed paper scrap cards are pretty simple and inexpensive to make – they still look pretty impressive {if I do say so myself!}

With them being totally customizable on what you have on hand – you can make these cards for different personalities and themes.

Then, when you recreate your own birthday cards, come share pictures of them {before you give them away} on our Facebook page wall. We can’t wait to see your DIY creations in action!

What You Need For Your Birthday Cards:

* Cardstock Cards {any color or size you like!}
* Various Paper Scraps {you will want 4-5 different prints or colors}
* Scissors/Paper Trimmer
* Tape Runner Adhesive {affiliate link}
* Sharpie Markers

The Simple Directions:

* Using your scissors – first trim down your various paper scrap pieces to give the look of a stacked cake.  This is done by cutting thin strips of rectangles out of the scraps and then trimming each one down a bit, as the cake gets taller. {You can also make a stacked pile of presents}
* Now grab your adhesive and apply it on the back of each scrap piece.
* Place the rectangle paper pieces, in order, on the card front to make your cake design.
* Add other embellishments like candles, bows etc. I drew some candles on mine.
* If desired – write a “birthday” sentiment somewhere on the card.
* Repeat process for each paper scrap birthday card you want to make today!
