If you think the birthday present is the main event, think again: The card is where the heart is. A thoughtful birthday card is a place where the meaningful sentiments go, the place where you get to communicate just how much the celebrant means to you. And a last-minute drugstore card doesn't always send the message you want to convey — so think ahead.

If you have the inclination, supplies, and skill set, a homemade greeting card is always a unique way to go. And there are plenty of options to choose from if you're making a birthday card at home. These DIY birthday card ideas include a range of options for every loved one on your list, from kids to grownups. (Some projects are simple; others are more suitable for advanced crafters with die-cut machines.) And if you're looking to take the easiest route possible, there are plenty of customizable, printable templates you can buy, just waiting for you to write the perfect birthday card messageand seal it with a kiss.

Whether you're looking for a birthday card that's funny, punny, poignant, or just plain cute, these clever birthday card ideas will help you deliver the perfect greeting to all of your special someones — and we bet they'll save these cards long after the birthday cake has been devoured, the gift wrap has been recycled, and the presents long forgotten!

Thank you to Cut Out & Keep and Dutch Label Shop for collaborating with me on this fun project! Dutch Label Shop provided me with labels for this craft. I only work with brands I fully support and as always, all opinions are 100% my own!

Hello Crafty Friends! It really is starting to feel like summertime. Two things that come to mind when I think of summer – bright colors and ice cream! My project today incorporates both of these things to create the perfect Happy Birthday surprise! These DIY embroidered birthday cards are a lot of fun to make and a wonderful handmade gift for someone special.

I love sending snail mail for my friends’ birthdays (when I can remember!) and it has been great having a stack of handmade cards on hand. I embroidered the cards and added sweet fabric tags to the bottom of each card. They were surprisingly easy to create using embroidery floss and a pushpin to make the holes. I love hand sewing so I enjoyed embroidering them while catching up on Netflix shows. I’ve loved using these cards so much I now want to order tags with other messages on them too – “Thinking of You”, “Congratulations” and “Thank you!” would be awesome. I think a set of these cards with matching envelopes would also make a sweet gift. I chose to go with a dessert/ice cream theme, but the possibilities are endless.

You don't always have to search high and low for the perfect gift—a birthday card can go a long way in showing someone how much you care, especially when you take the time to DIY a beautiful keepsake. Crafting a birthday card also makes for a fun and easy creative project the entire family can get in on. There are endless ways to personalize it, from watercoloring your own stationery to a using washi tape on plain card stock. Even better than wowing your loved one with your amazing talents and skills is the fact that these homemade cards will cost almost nothing. Many can be made with supplies you already have in your craft room.

Think you're not crafty? Fear not. We have ideas that can be mastered by budding artists of all ages, skill levels, and time restraints. You can take on marbling paper or pressing flowers, or hand making a birthday card is the perfect excuse to learn something new, and we've included a fantastic tutorial for both! You can take on new art forms with paints and glitter. In fact, you may become so adept at making birthday cards that you'll feel compelled to take on DIY Christmas cards and even homemade Valentine's day cards. With a little imagination, the possibilities are endless. Watch your back, Hallmark!

 I love creating handmade cards especially when   they are interactive. After coloring this card in, the   interactive part comes together quickly. A wheel is   attached to the inside cover of the card using a   brad. A notch on the side of the card lets the   recipient rotate the wheel to show a holiday   greeting and Santa in his sleigh.
