Here's some inspiration.  

The IPC design team has come up with a birthday card as well as several festive Christmas cards to inspired you!

Danni Bindel celebrates the upcoming holiday with this bright festive card! She pulls bright papers from the Christmas Basics paper pad which she cuts using dies from the Framework and the Frames & Flags die sets. With her panels in place, Danni adds a trio of caffeinated goodness using the Christmas Coffees stamp and coordinating die set. Just so cute!

Like Danni, Debbie Owens uses a trio of coffee mugs from the Christmas Coffees stamp set for her holiday card. Deb coordinates papers from the Love & Meows and the Christmas Basics paper pads. She inverts two of the elements by using the Postage Stamp Layout die set and trimming it down for her central stripe. She uses the rounded rectangular die from the Frames & Flags  die set for her center panel. She adds the postage using the Holiday Postage Sampler stamp set and finishes with a sentiment from the Holiday Essentials stamp set. A fun take on the sketch!

Amy Tollner creates a whimsical card with her two, sweet puppies from the Wreath Pups stamp and coordinating die set. She adds the red buffalo plaid paper from the Canine Christmas paper pad which is die cut using the scalloped frame from the Framework die set. Such a darling way to 'deck the halls!'

Claire Lamb is celebrating the upcoming holiday season with these festive felines from the Newton's Christmas Tree stamp and coordinating die set. They look so cute decorating their tree on Claire's distressed evening sky. She adds the stitching using a die from the Basic Frames die set. She showcases her felines with two festive papers from the Christmas Basics paper pad. A fun way to send holiday wishes!

Crystal Minkler opts for an adorable birthday card filled with birthday cuteness! She pulls an assortment of bright, fun papers from the Birthday Party paper pad to fill in the panels that were created by the Postage Stamp Layout die set. She adds the multi-layered cake from the Newton's Birthday Delights stamp and coordinating die set with the duo of 'taste testers!'  She creates a banner (Frames & Flags die set) for her sentiment.  Such a fun, celebratory card!

Don't forget you have a few more days to get creative with this sketch!

Did anyone else start humming along with Debbie Owens' card? Her festive card featuring the handsome nutcracker from the Nutcrackers stamp set is trimmed with gold accents starting with the golden sheet music (Music stencil) and finished with gold cording behind the circular sentiment (Frames Squared die set). A wonderful way to celebrate the upcoming season!

Diane Morales and Claire are showcasing the Wreath Pups stamp and die set, and both cards are just so cute!  Diane is featuring an argyle paper from the Canine Christmas paper pad on the bottom portion of her card. At the top, she adds a row of holly from Newton's Gift stamp and die. Such a playful and festive card, especially with the glittery border!

Amy Tollner creates this playful card that is just too cute!  She pulls the wrapped gifts paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad and pairs it with the Veloci Wrapper from the Prehistoric Christmas stamp and die set. Eek!  How fun!  She uses the Circle Frames die set to create the scallop circle for her gift-wrapping dino!

Like Diane, Claire Lamb is showcasing the Wreath Pups stamp and die set. She, too, pulls an argyle paper, but this fun paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad is used on her top portion leaving the bottom for her sentiment. A couple of enameled dots adds a bit of texture to this seriously cute card!
