When I'm in a hurry I often reach for those wonderful Stampin Up punches. Stampin Up punches make a quick and easy handmade birthday card as shown in this sample:
Of course, this card could be for a variety of other occasions as well. Flowers are always a popular theme and you can get a variety of looks just by changing the punches you use I love the Boho Blossoms Punch which has three different flowers on the one punch. The two smaller layers on the flower both came from that punch.
I used bright colors but other combinations would be fun to try. This really is a punch card: the only stamping is the "happy birthday" words from the Loved Ones stamp set.
