'Happy Birthday' Blue Chequers

This smart printable blue chequered birthday card is unisex, so it's great to send to either males or females.

It's a very airy and conservative design. Perfect to give to most people, especially work colleagues.

You can personalize this card by adding your own personal touches to it. Here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing...

• Emboss two or three squares with holographic powder, using an embossing pen (make sure the squares are spaced apart from each other).
• Tie a strip of blue ribbon along the length of the right side of the card. Position it so that the (small) bow is near the top of the card.
• Glue a small, blue, square-shaped faux gem in the centre of each square.
• Emboss the outline of two or three squares with holographic powder, using an embossing pen (making sure that the squares are spaced apart from each other). Then glue a small, blue, square-shaped faux gem in the center of the embossed squares.
• Emboss the outline of a big square (consisting of the four, central squares that the 'Happy Birthday' slogan covers) with holographic powder, using an embossing pen.
• Emboss the far left and far right columns with holographic powder, using an embossing pen.

3. Add Paper Or Card: Put some paper or card into your printer. I prefer to use white, thin printable card. You can probably buy thin printable card from your local office supplies shop.
4. Print: Print the page (if you wish to print a number of cards, change the number of copies you require in the print screen command window).
5. Trim: Trim by following the border of the card. You can use scissors, but I prefer to use a guillotine to get straight, smooth, consistent edges.
6. Fold: Fold along the central line. I like to use a bone paper folder (a plastic one is okay too) because it makes sharper creases.

And voila! The free card from our free birthday cards printables range come to life!
