There are lots of birthdays coming up on my calendar in July and August, which means that I’ve been on the hunt for some awesome birthday cards to add to my stash. And since I haven’t done a birthday card roundup in a little while, I thought that this would be the perfect time to share some of the cool cards that have caught my eye recently. I hope that you’ll see at least a few in this snazzy bunch that you’ll want to add to your stash, too!
