• This card has a really “cute” feel about it that celebrates wearing glasses. 
• This card would be relatively easy to make yourself – plastic glasses such as these are readily available at discount stores (often in the toy/novelty section). Goggly eyes and bow are available at any craft/haberdashery store. 
• You could print, write or stamp the text. 
• Have some fun with the border on the card by using patterned paper, ribbons or even a strip of sequins. You could also experiment by using different coloured cards (instead of white). 
• To create a female version of this card, simply add eye lashes and fuller, coloured lips and/or hair. 

• This sophisticated, neutral colour scheme would work well for a guy. 
• The combination of pattern and plain card adds texture and interest to the card. 
• Introduce pops of colour to this card with coloured beads or sequins. The neutral-coloured background will carry just about any colour. 
• You can customise your message to suit your recipient/occasion, or use stamps or stickers to create the letters.

• This is a striking card that would suit anyone for any occasion. The blue and red colours work particularly well for a man, and you can tailor your message to suit your recipient. 
• You could experiment with paper in different colours, textures, and patterns. 
• The heart motif is really cute, but you could use any shape – stars, flowers, or even buttons for a 3D effect. Check out the craft section in your local discount store for scrap-booking trinkets. 

• This is a super simple card that anyone (even kids) could make thanks to the easy shapes. 
• This is a great way of using up left over wrapping paper and ribbon. 
• This card would suit anyone – man or woman – of any age, depending on the colours and patterns you choose. 
• You could hand-write or print the ‘Happy Birthday’ text, depending on the look you wanted to go for. 

• These tonal blue stripes work really well on the green background – this is a great colour choice for a guy. 
• This would be a great card design to customise for anyone, and for any occasion. Simply change your colour palette and message. 
• Play around with combinations of printed paper/card or strips of metallic paper for a different look. 
• Instead of the spots, you could use star stickers, sequins or diamontes for texture and bling. 

Why we love it:

• Who doesn’t love a pop-out birthday card? Keep the outside simple so the surprise inside has a bigger impact. 
• Although this looks like an ‘all-singing-all-dancing’ birthday card, the design is actually pretty simple – multicoloured balloon shapes with triangle Happy Birthday bunting. To simplify, keep the balloons all the same size and limit your colour palatte. 
• This is a great way to use up left-over scraps of paper. 
• You can of course customise your colour palette and message to suit your recipient. 
• This design would also make a cute ‘Congratulations’ card for a wedding, engagement or baby card.
