Today I’m sharing two quick and elegant birthday cards that prove simplicity can still pack a beautiful punch. These cards feature the Paper Tags dies and sentiments from the With You in Mind stamp set—perfect for creating heartfelt birthday wishes in no time at all.

Using coordinating designer series papers, a touch of ribbon, and soft layered colours, this design works brilliantly whether you’re crafting a single card or making a batch to have on hand. Let’s take a closer look!

A Simple Layout That Shines

Both cards use the same layout—a centred sentiment panel on a beautiful background—but with different colour schemes and papers to create two distinct looks.

  • Card 1 features Misty Moonlight and Cloud Cover cardstock paired with the soft florals from the Flowering Meadow designer series paper (DSP). I added the Silver and White Sheer ribbon and rhinestones for a touch of sparkle.
  • Card 2 goes for a vibrant feel with Gorgeous Grape and Fresh Freesia, paired with the delicate textures of the Perennial Lavender DSP.

  • Perennial Lavender / Flowering Meadow DSP – 13.85cm X 9.5cm

Quick to Make, Easy to Personalise

This card design is ideal if you’re short on time or want a satisfying project to complete in one sitting. It’s also beginner-friendly! With just a few basic supplies—DSP, a label die, ribbon, and a sentiment—you’ll be turning out beautiful handmade cards in no time.

These little folios are ideal for slipping into your bag, gifting to a friend, or even using as a mini card wallet or notebook holder. I love how each fold reveals something a little special!

Why You’ll Love This Dinky Tri Part Folio

  • Small but Mighty: It may be dinky, but it’s packed with charm and functionality.
  • Perfect for Gifts: we can always use a small notebook to jot done ideas.
  • Great Way to Use Pretty Paper: Let those stunning designs shine front and centre.
  • Beginner Friendly: A simple fold-and-stick project with maximum wow factor!

Both designs feature a simple “Just a Note” sentiment on the front, layered on coordinating cardstock circles, and a touch of sparkle with a rhinestone accent. I kept the decoration minimal to let those gorgeous papers do the talking!

Measurements

  • Fresh Freesia / Balmy Blue Cardstock—21cm X 11cm—Scored at 7cm, 7.5cm, 15cm, and 15.5cm on the 21cm side.

Tips for Making Your Own Tri Part Folio

  • Choose patterned papers that make you smile — the front cover is the star!
  • Use coordinating cardstock for a polished, professional look.
  • Stick with strong adhesives to keep the folds and layers nice and secure.
  • Add embellishments sparingly —This is going to go in people’s bags so you don’t want embellishments to be knocked off.

In the video tutorial linked below, I show you step-by-step how to create this Tri Part Folio from scratch. You’ll be amazed how quickly it comes together!

Here’s a little peek inside:

  • The folio opens out in three sections.
  • You can easily create a tuck spot in the flap to keep notes or tickets.
