One Paper Pad Three Ways - N2S Paper Pad Club

Hey sweet friends! Today I’m sharing a fun project featuring a trio of birthday cards I created using the Sweet Little Cuties paper pad from the Not 2 Shabby February Paper Pad Club. I share and discuss these cards in my hop video over on my YouTube channel today.

The color palette this month is absolutely stunning—vibrant oranges, yellows, and greens paired with a classic navy blue. It’s the perfect mix for when you need to bridge the gap between bright and sophisticated. I also pulled in the Say it With Birthday Style stamp set and One & Done Sentiment Die for these card.

Card 1: Soft & Feminine

For the first card, I leaned into the floral patterns and navy stripes. By heat embossing the sentiment in blue and adding a touch of Stardust Stickles, I gave it a delicate, sparkly finish that’s perfect for the ladies in my life.

Card 2: Textured & Masculine

Who says citrus can't be masculine? For the second card, I kept the layout blocky and added a burlap embossing folder for texture. Instead of ribbon, I used twine to keep the vibe more rugged. It’s a great way to use "cute" papers for the guys!

Card 3: The "Scrap-tastic" Finale

Don't throw away those leftovers! My third card was built entirely from the scraps of the first two. By matting them in the same navy cardstock, the layout looks intentional.
