Hello everyone!
Galina is here. Today, I am thrilled to share with you the creative journey behind two delightful birthday cards, both crafted using the same versatile die set – the Chunky Alphabet Die Set. These cards are not just your regular birthday greetings; they hide a special surprise that is sure to bring joy to the recipients. Let’s dive into the magical world of alphabet die-cutting and discover the charm of these Birthday cards!

How to make these cards you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube Chanel
The Power of the Alphabet Die Set:
As cardmakers, we are constantly on the lookout for new and innovative ways to elevate our creations. Alphabet die sets have become a staple in our craft rooms due to their ability to add personalization and uniqueness to every project. By having a range of letters at our disposal, we can create custom sentiments, monograms, and, as we will see today, exciting graphic patterns.
I carefully arranged the die-cut letters, a delightful discovery unfolded. Three letters – “H,” “B,” and “D” – had miraculously found their way together, forming the acronym “HBD.” It was like a sign from the crafting deities that this card was destined to be a birthday card.

I use both negative and positive die cuts to create different patterns for my cards. No waste! Also I decorated the first card background with a shienny gold sprinkles. I used CHUNKY SPRINKLES STENCIL – Studio Katia and gold glitter paste.

And the second card panel I decorated with shiny crystals – BLOSSOM SPARKLE CRYSTALS – Studio Katia. I placed them where the letter openings should be. I picked the matching cardstock for HBD letters.

Next time you’re in your craft room, consider the limitless potential of your alphabet die set. Whether you’re going for a vibrant kaleidoscope or a minimalist elegance, remember that every card you create has the power to bring happiness and love to someone’s special day.
Happy crafting!
