How Do You Create Free Paper Birthday Cards?
Rather than spending time browsing cards at the store looking for the perfect birthday card and spending money to buy it, make your own at home for free. The recipient will appreciate the effort you put into making a unique card out of basic supplies you should already have at home. This particular card features a festive cupcake, but you can vary the colors and design to fit the style and personality of the birthday recipient. Fold a piece of card stock in half to make a basic card. Trim the card if needed so it fits in the envelope you would like to use. Cut a piece of paper to dimensions slightly smaller than the front of your card. Glue this paper onto the front of the card as a decorative background. Cut a piece of colored or decorative paper into a trapezoid shape so it looks like the base of a cupcake. Cut a piece of paper of a different color into a domed shape with rough edges. This is the frosted top of the cupcake. The flat bottom of the dome should be about the same length
