I needed five quick birthday cards for this month so I pulled out my Gelli Plate and an array of my favorite DecoArt paints to make my own paper and make them quick and easy!  

Supplies Needed:

 

Here are the five custom papers I made in less then five minutes…….

The entire process was all about keeping it simple and making five birthday cards very fast.  I cut 3 pieces of cardstock in half and folded to create my card base, added my custom backgrounds and then stamped/heat embossed "Happy Birthday" along with some simple doodling.  Voila……DONE!
