AND today’s post too!

Let’s start the birthday inspiration with a video by Mindy! She created a beautiful birthday card featuring Party Mouse! You can watch the video below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.

Thank you so much for watching! Now let’s check out more Design Team inspiration!


Mindy combined Party Mouse, Let’s Celebrate Backdrop, Bunting Background Stencils and lots of color to make a super cute and fun birthday card!


It’s a bird-day at the Backyard Bird Feeder! Elena stenciled clouds with Stratus Cloud Background Stencil, then she layered on Tree Branches Backdrop: Portrait to create a lovely view! And next, she added the Yappy Birthday balloons to the bird feeder to provide fun party decor!


Audrey chose Year Fifteen and happy Really Rainbow color for her special birthday card! I love how she used Snowy Backdrop, then cut the Ta-Da! Diorama! Scalloped Window at a jaunty angle in the middle. It makes a fun window to frame the cute “best-teas”!


Melissa used Scripty Happy and Scripty Birthday along with colorfully stamped birthday greetings for her adorable scrapbook layout! But the most the fun is how she used the slider panel from Pull ‘n Slide Surprise as clever mats for her cute birthday photos! She included lots of color from Fruit Salad Petite paper and Lots of Dots Washi Tape.


Latisha‘s bright and cheery birthday card features Giant Outlined Happy Birthday: Landscape. She cut it from Silver Sparkle cardstock before filling it with more colorful cardstock!


Puns are perfect for birthdays, especially the cute ones in Critters in the Desert! Marine filled the front of a Pull ‘n Slide Surprise card with lots of desert cuteness!


And there’s more cuteness on the slider! That tortoise is too adorable!


And the punch line to the pun is hidden below the slider with a speedy roadrunner delivering the birthday cake! Meep, meep!


Just a little note to say…Megan created a cute and cheesy birthday card! With mice from Simply Celebrate Critters and the cheese from Simply Celebrate Hangouts, this adorable card sends sweet birthday wishes! Megan also used Say Cheese, Again, Love Poems and Virtual Friends.


Tammy‘s birthday card is so much fun! She used Party Mouse, some candles from Stitched Cupcake and a beautifully decorated birthday cake! To create the “cake” she combined Stitched Squares with Rooftop Border and some happy papers from Pint-sized Patterns Summertime.


Yainea’s birthday card is so simply fun! She started with a watercolor background before adding the boba tea from Year Fifteen. Then she combined the Year Fifteen sentiment with one from Big Scripty Words!


It’s a happy birthday at the farm! The farm animals from Simply Celebrate More Critters are celebrating in style with a banquet table from Simply Celebrate Hangouts! Elise included Yappy Birthday balloons and gifts from Christmas Dreams. The greeting is found in Offset Sayings: Birthday.


Grace gets high marks for creative use of Scalloped Rectangle Stackables! She added lots of scalloped detail to frame the cutest Backyard Bird Feeder Add-On scene. There are Stratus Clouds stenciled in the background along with a Simple Grassy Hillside.


Grace added more adorable detail with images from Porcu-pine for You, Fly High and All the Smiles. That punny sentiment is from Special Delivery Add-On.
