Hip Hip Hooray! It’s Your Birthday!
How cute is this birthday bear?
Regardless, he is ready to party!!
Ready to celebrate a birthday on this super cute fun fold card!
Everyone, no matter the age, loves a fun fold card. It is just in us to keep opening and closing this extremely simple fold.
The image and papers come from Polkadoodles Party Time Digital Bundle!
If you haven’t tried digital images yet, just so you can simply say you have tried it - been there, done that!
I absolutely love a collection of images that live on my computer that I can mix and match to create a card that suits whatever I am in the mood for - it’s like creating on demand.
I don’t have to wait for order processing or postal delivery. I can simply choose and image or collection of images that I want to work with that day, download them, print the files I want and get to creating!
Whether it becomes your new favorite way to craft or you absolutely have no desire to work with digital images after that - at least you can say you gave it try!
My guess is that you will love the ease and the endless creative possibilities.
Party Time Digital Bundle includes:
14 Main character/cake Black & White Digital Stamps
19 Black & White Digital Stamps
43 Pre-Coloured Clipart Images
18 Printable Sentiments
6 Coordinating Digital Papers
Over 40 Embellishments for Crafting
High-resolution files for crisp, clear prints
Instant download for immediate crafting

Let’s move on to the card -
Always keep in mind that a card layout I have given you here, can be used with many stamps (digital or physical) that you may already have in your stash. The instructions are purely a guideline to give you great card ideas.
Card Measurements:
Color Cardstock cut at 4 1/4 x 11, Scored @5 1/2
Pattern Paper cut at 2 5/8 x 4 1/8 (cut 2)
Pattern Paper 2 - 2 5/8 x 4 1/8 (for the inside)
White Cardstock - 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 (inside)
White Scraps for Stamping Sentiments or pre printed sentiments trimmed down to size.
Instructions:
Working with the card base - make an additional score on the front of the base at 2 3/4. ( Scoring the front of the card base basically in half)
Adhere to the 2 sections of pattern paper that match to the front of the card base, all centered and looking pretty.
Adhere the white cardstock panel to the inside of the card.
Adhere the remaining section of pattern paper to the bottom of the white cardstock layer on the card inside.
Attach the Hip Hip Hooray Sentiment using foam tape centered where the white cardstock and the pattern paper join, on the card inside.
This creates a stopper for the front section of the card when popped up to sit against, holding the card open like an easel for display purposes.
Color the chosen image - in this case the Happy Little Party Bear with his gift and party hat!
Using foam tape adhere the bear to the bottom right corner of the card front. ** Be sure there is no adhesive anywhere on the bear where it sticks over the top half of the card.
Using glue attach the It’s Your Birthday sentiment in the desired position with the bear on the bottom section of the card front.
Color the party banner from the bundle and attach diagonally to the top section of the card front and trim off any excess that may be hanging over.
Add gems or any final touches to complete your card!
How the card sits when open!
The white part of the card inside leaves plenty of space to write any additional birthday message to the card recipient! Pair this with an envelope decorated with scraps from the pattern paper….
And get ready to party!!
