A Winter Birthday Card

January can feel a little… grey. The days are short, and everything outside is basically one big snowbank.

But winter birthdays still deserve something cheerful, right?

That’s exactly what inspired this sweet winter birthday card using PolkaDoodles printables — a simple layout, soft colors, and an image that feels cozy instead of cold.

This card came together quickly using a digital paper background, an adorable Winter Birthday Tree image, and a printable sentiment that does all the heavy lifting.

I love how easy it is to mix and match the papers with the characters — just resize, print, and you’re good to go. No complicated layers, no fussy dies, just a clean design that lets the image shine.

Winnie and her sneaky raccoon friend are just too cute to resist, and pair perfectly with the soft plaid paper, a playful color palette, sprinkled with a slight touch of whimsy.

Sometimes the simplest cards are the most satisfying — especially in January when we all need a reminder that winter can still be fun, bright, and full of small happy moments (and maybe a little sparkle too).
