Pennant and Candles Birthday Card

My brother has a birthday coming up. He won’t see this post because he will be river rafting the Grand Canyon on his birthday…so I can post without concern that he will see the card coming in the mail. Whew!

I made a cute card for him. It was easy to make.

To make this card I used:
Plain card base
6.5″ x 5″ cut out of background paper (not in the card pictured above. I made 2 cards and improved on the 2nd try!)
4 – 1″ squares cut in half diagonally
1 – 1/8″ wide ribbon (about 7.5″ long)
5 candles and flames cut from the Wrap it up Cricut Cartridge(affiliate link)
Happy B-Day Sticker
Adhesive Foam Squares(affiliate link)
Advanced Tape Glider(affiliate link)

I had already made the first of 2 of these cards when I took these pictures, so I already had everything cut out. It took me maybe 20 minutes to put the card together. Easy, Quick and Cute!

Start by gathering your supplies and cutting everything that needs to be cut.

Next, adhere your background mat to your card base. In the middle picture above, you can see that next I added the ribbon that became my hanging pennant. Then I adhered the triangles to the ribbon. It looks a little wonky and sticks out a bit funny. That is okay as we are going to use foam adhesive squares to make it stay where we want it to and to help flatten it out a bit.
